A jaded view of the Philly sports scene from the fans in the parking lot.

Slowly I turned Step by Step
That's how I feel about the Flyers. They have turned me around from being just a casual observer into a rabid fan, and they did it with their play. I havn't been this excited since, well the last time we got there in 97. I haven't flown my Flyer's flag since then but it up and gonna stay up! I can't help notice that many have not climbed aboard the bandwagon as there is lots of room still. So I asked my neighbor what he thought and I was surprised by his answer "awa, I not really into it." You're not into it, how could a Philly sports fan not be into it. His answer was "they got blow away the last time." I guess he is right I still remember how painful it was watch them be swept by Detroit it was the year my son was born. I went from saying, he was born the year we won the cup to he was born the year we got swept. Dam, Philly fan have long memories and we feel the losses of our favorite teams like personal insults. We can't separate our own self image from that of the team. People say it's tough to play professional sports here. I think it's even tougher to live here as a fan of professional sports. There is much to learn from this Flyers team and what it means to be resilient. Maybe Philadelphians should follow their example. We are great fans of professional sport teams and are great human beings regardless of how the teams play or what newscasters say about of fair city. Slowly I turned, step by step, inch by inch I'm turning from a rabid sport fan into a better person. God bless the Flyers for showing me the way.

OMG they didn't do that did they? The Flyers just shelled the Canadians six to nothing! Wow, I'm a believer, they are going all the way to the Stanley Cup! Sorry Phillies fans but for the next two weeks it's all Flyers! Talk about your band wagon, it's going to be a big one. I still can't get the wife to ride over to Cottman and the Frankford after they win each series. I want to act like I'm 20 again! I want to revel in the streets and hit every bar on Frankford avenue! Yo Charlie by the time I get near your house I'm gonna be bombed! Can I sleep in your basement? I promise I'll use the bathroom and not your backyard. Just keeping it real as always. I hope to see you in the parking lot soon.

Phillies Road Trip to Boston
Well if you didn't already know the Phillies opening day road trip to Washington sold out in three days. Please stop calling and begging to get on the bus. We're full and nobody is giving up their seat. Don't fret there is another Phillies road trip in June. This one is to Boston, it's two fun filled nights in bean town with a ticket to the game on Saturday. We leave Friday 6/11 and return Sunday 6/13. Did I mention round trip transportation via deluxe motor coach. We'll be staying at the downtown Club Quarters, it's within walking distance of many great restaurants and attractions. Don't wait call today 267-495-722 to make your reservation. Already made up you mind? Go to PhillySportsTours and buy you ticket on-line. I think I'm getting a new hat for the trip. Check it out BostonRoadTripHat. I think it goes well with my road warrior mentality. Drop me a line and let me know what you think and I'll see you in the parking lot.
