Yankees vs. Phillies W.S. 2009

[yourchoice]

Not sure what you see as "rollins-esque" but whatever. Seems as if you don't pick the Yankees to win, you're a dope or a fool or a "blind fan". This thread is bringing back memories of conversations I had with friends at Rutgers who were Yankees/Giants/Rangers fans... a humble bunch.

Yankees in a sweep.

Wow, this reminds me of my friends from Philly constantly trying to determine who makes the best cheesesteaks; Pat's or Geno's.

Ooops, I just noticed you're actually from North PA, I mean South Jersey.

In a week, we will all be consoling you and your team and saying, "nice try".

Hey, you DO still have the Liberty Bell to be proud of.....

I call B.S.

I'm not from Philly and even I know Philadelphians don't care for either Pat's or Geno's

Ok then, not to veer to far off topic, where IS the best cheesesteak in Philly then?

Actually like pizza, everyone knows the best cheesesteaks are actually in New Jersey.

I think that one can find a general consensus that Tony Luke's makes a proper cheesesteak. But all opinions are subjective.

Yankees play in THE toughest division in Baseball and yet they managed to win 103 games. The Phillies have some solid bats for sure but I like my Yankees Chances. Yanks in 5. Go Yankees!

Wow!
How things evolve.
No one said anything about having to pick the Yankees.
Remember? Someone mentioned Phillies in 5? Did I read that wrong?
Hence a blind Phillies fan if you can't recognize they are not playing against a triple A team. They are playing the best team in baseball in 2009! Just hope they don't turn out like the Patriots.

Joel,
Just realized it and totally feel for you.
I have a new found understanding and sort of feel bad.
You are from "South Jersey".
The land of nowhere. You are not accepted by northern jersey, where the majority of the population resides. On top of that, no local team anywhere in sight to call your own so understandably you look for comfort across the river, in Philadelphia, the land of brotherly love.
Makes sense.


Kidding aside, unless you are from NJ, folks have no clue of the two different worlds that exist between northern Jersey and south Jersey. At least when I left 13 years ago, it was evident.

.....and as cheesesteaks go, GENO'S!!!

Only use people from North Jersey have for South Jersey is all the places for the maffia to bury bodies in all the pine barrens.
