The last time the Philadelphia Phillies brought a World Series title back to the City of Brotherly Love, the nation's financial sector was in complete ruin, the cost of a gallon of milk was only $2.74, fans watched the Fall Classic while huddled around their slightly-less-streamlined high-definition television sets, and Philadelphia slugger Ryan Howard was just 28 years old.

This week Howard, 29, hopes to lead the Phillies to their first World Series championship in more than 360 long days and end a title drought that has been punctuated by several embarrassing losses, including a 2009 opening-day defeat by the Atlanta Braves and a June loss to the Atlanta Braves. During its infamous dry spell, the team has also come up short twice, winning both an NLDS and an NLCS title but having absolutely no World Series ring to show for it.

To put into perspective just how long the Phillies have gone without a championship, the earth has almost made one full orbit of the sun since the franchise last paraded through downtown Philadelphia holding the famed Commissioner's Trophy.

"We have a good group of guys this year, and if we block out all the stuff about how we haven't won a World Series in more than 5,000 waking hours, we'll be fine." Howard said. "Frankly, I'm tired of all that talk. Yes, I know Michael Jackson was still alive the last time we won, and I know Boston Legal was gearing up for its final episode. But look, when the umpire says 'Play ball,' none of that matters."

"After 364 days of constantly coming up short, I think this is finally our year," Howard added.

According to Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, if his players get wrapped up in the fact that they haven't raised a World Series banner since April 5, 2009, they'll never be able to play to the maximum of their ability against the New York Yankees. The veteran manager admitted, however, that going nearly 52 straight weeks without a championship is bound to shake any team's confidence.

"The bottom line is we're a pretty inexperienced team, and for many of these young players, this will be the first time they've been to the World Series in a year." Manuel said. "A lot has changed in that time. If you would have told me last October that this country would elect a black president before the Philadelphia Phillies made it back to the World Series, I would have laughed in your face."

While Philadelphia players admitted the 11-month championship-winless streak has been difficult for them personally, most agreed that it's the fans who've suffered most, enduring more than 500,000 minutes without a World Series victory.

"Our fans are incredible," said left fielder Raul Ibanez, who was brought to the Phillies during the offseason in the hopes that he could help Philadelphia finally get back on the winning track. "If I were them, I would have given up on us weeks ago, after we lost our 69th game and failed to win the National League East by more than 10 [games]. But they stuck with us."

Though the Philly faithful are understandably disappointed with their team's title drought, many believe this will be the season when the team breaks the so-called Curse of 1981�the year in which the Phillies failed to follow up their 1980 championship season with a World Series victory.

"I guess part of me feels like the long wait will make a title all the more special," season-ticket holder Mike Oliver said. "And even though I don't like to compare teams, this Philly squad feels similar to the one who beat the Rays back in the day. They had guys like Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Cole Hamels, Jamie Moyer�guys who could really play the game and knew how to win; not like today's players."

"Man, whatever happened to Jamie Moyer?" Oliver added. "He's got to be dead by now."

"Truthfully, I never thought I would live to see the Phillies get to another World Series," longtime fan David Oswald said. "When I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last November, the doctor only gave me eight months."

You guys just keep talking, however Im not too keen on Hamles for Game 3, geezz that guy makes me not sleep. So as far a a match up, the Yanks have the edge for game 3

yea andy is a big game pitcher
the key for the yanks is to strike first, and strike early
to get the crowd out of it
plus arod is in a serious slump, i dont understand he was soooooo dominant in the last 2 series
kate hudson better be giving him some good hoochie coochie 2nite

Depends on which one shows up - Hamels Cole or Camel's Hole. Last year he ripped it. Who knows, maybe he will pull through? You know, lame duck pose - get Yanks to write him off and him get them smoked?

We'll see.

Originally posted by Uncle ED You guys are talking a LOT OF TRASH...dont piss off the Phillies!! Are you sure you you want to do that??

Truth...I'm sorry but the Phils are the defending champs. I'm still in shock that the Phils are in the World Series this year...right after last year.

Don't act like they didn't win last year and they are nothing this year. Even though they lost Pat Burrell does NOT by any means write them off in the odds. Philly is still damn strong and they will be pushing the Yanks to the very bottom for the next two games in Philly.

Just look what Cliff Lee did to the Yanks. Pedro may have slipped up short by a little in NY. But they still have a lot to do.

Phils are the defending champs. Yankees haven't won it since 200.

Phils in 6! REP MA CITY!


P.S. If I have to hear Blueprint 3 every again I will fuckin' yack.

YANKEES > phillies thriller in 7 where A-Rod shuts up AALLL the haters and hits a GS walk off, off pedro. and pedro drops to his knees and cries like a little bitch and just so unk doesn't feel bad...

Oh well look who it is...

I think you will be surprised with what the 21st Century Phils can do to the Yanks amigo.
Two games in Philly and we got one of yours in NYC with a 6-1 victory with Clif Lee fucking shit up.

This will be an epic series tho', battle of the East Coast.

HAHAHAHA sucks to be phillies....

I wanted to see this idiots face so bad, but they never showed him again hahaha

Well if you think that's bad...watch an Eagles game.

There's only one guy left on the Phillies that we need to dominate and thus we can say we shut down the whole team. Werth had his chances last night against CC, Chase got shut down by AJ and Andy he's hit CC well hats off to him but in fairness us Yankee fans know CC is struggling yet still working like a horse.

Tonight Cliff Lee goes down and we dance on your field Philly. Then off to the Canyon for the parade...let's do this baby.

YANKEES IN 5 ALL DAY BABY ALLL FUCKIN DAY!

if the yankees do go on and win the world series
the top of the 9th in last nights game was probly a big reason why
between damon's stolen base and then makeing that smart move by noticeing no one was at 3rd and going there
then a-rod's hugeeeeee clutch double to take the lead
followed by more clutch hitting by posada, and they were all done against the philly's closer

2nights pitching matchup is going to be a duel
both of these guys dominated in the first games they pitched

2nights game should be a good one

LETS GO YANKEE'S!!!!!!

Yep, you are correct, and Lidge has sucked this entire season with closing out games. No way can we come back 3 straight games, so
Burak, you get free drinks (up to $40) on me..........looks like the better team has won, so I man up. BTW: Hitting A-Rod 3 times? WTF?

Unless Howard wakes up and Lidge does not play, well maybe..
I give a win tonight with Lee, but other than that, Ive lost hope.
I got punched last night with Lidge and cant seem to recover.

OMFG BAAHAHHA DUDE i cant believe this... we kept rewinding the game and playing this dufus over and over cracking up the other night

jesus christ I cant get over these stupid fans.


First, they boo Burnett for cleaning the dirt of of his shoes (seriously guys??)


Then I see some dumb ass rednecks looking like complete tools....


Then I see signs that say shit like "Phaith".


wow. I have no words for how dumb these people are.......and its only the second inning.

For all the decent Philly people out there (yes, there are some!), I would pray that they keep the cameras away from you fans the rest of the night, because they are representing your city right now and they look like complete tools.....

LOL this game is retarded. I cant even say that I care because I was hoping it would come back to the Bronx....my only wish is that we come back a little so we dont lose focus or confidence.....LOL I had a feeling tonight would be ugly for the Yanks!!
