The Philadelphia Phillies overcame God-piss and the American League Champions to claim the city’s first World Series title in over a quarter century, in a nine-inning game which lasted several frustrating days.
The Tampa Bay Rays and their half-dozen fans will head home with heavy hearts and rusty cowbells; their franchise has never once won a World Series in its storied, decade-long history.
We can only hope this victory will not soften the warrior spirit of the city and its sports fans. Celebrate now, but steel yourselves for another round of berating the area’s other hapless sports teams. Whatever future victories come to this most-deserving of cities, don’t go the way of Boston; complacent, entitled and wearing what amounts to clown make-up. Like these tools.
A fate worse than death.

A more exemplary photo for proving the idiocy of Red Sox fans I have never seen…
