Subject: (no subject)Hey man, great site. I saw it a few years ago when I was stationed in VA with the Marines. Now I’m back home, in Delaware County, and I watch every day as my dreams of a parade are washed down the toilet. Just a few years ago, it seemed all the teams were getting close. Tonight the Flyers lost 5-2 to the Penguins. They eat ass. Yesterday the Eagles future became the same as their past when the franchise died with the snap of McNabb’s ACL. The Sixers I’m not even gonna talk about. The Phillies, congrats to Ryan Howard, but the ownership group has commited themselves to a “competitive team.” To me, that means spend just enough money to keep them close, and keep the seats full. Exactly what they’ve done the past few years. Just good enough to keep us watching, but not good enough to ever make it. Today Alfonso Soriano signed with the Cubs, and it would appear that the Phils’ rumored offered wasn’t even close to what he signed for. All this publicity about trying to sign a big free agent, in my mind, was just another ploy to sell season tickets, and I don’t believe they were ever serious. Well, I’ve had enough. I’ve spent nearly my entire life watching bad teams. I’m working on an idea for a Philly Sports Boycott. Not because I hate these teams but because I love them, and I’m tired of spending my hard earned money and precious time watching them flounder. I’m trying to build a website and drum up some support. Once I get everything off the ground, I’ll let you know, and if you like it, maybe you could help me spread the word.
