It is 1950 all over again (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/27/sports/baseball/27phillies.html?hpw)

Well I guess I am going to be rooting for the Yankees since it was my dad's favorite team and I am an American League fan.

Hey Longman, who do you root for if you are from NJ?

Yankees of course. My first mitt was a Mantel mitt in 1965

There is a road, call Province Line road that in the 1600s separated "West and East" Jersey. Today it still separates the Philly from the NY fans. I live close to the Lehigh Valley which as Steel roots and aliegence to Pittsburgh for reasons I dont entirely understand.

Turnpike sereis baby!

My condolences. Maybe Pittsburgh will get a professional baseball team in the future (they have a great park, caught a game there last year).

Who do I hate more, the Yankees or the Phillies?

Not hard actually, Philadelphia is eminently hate-able.
Right up there with the Braves.

Hard to believe that just last year it was the Phillies over the Rays. That was the most wgaf series of my entire life. I had to look it up just now, I truly couldn't remember who was in the series last year:shakehead:saywhat:
