Last night, on the car ride back to my house…Dad: Do you know if the Phillies are coming into town anytime soon?
Me: They won’t be back to play the Mets ‘til end of August.
Dad: Ok, then can you please not invite me to those games?
Me: Why? Are you scared ‘cause the Phillies beat you guys in all three games this weekend?
Dad: No…it’s just…I’m so disenchanted with the Mets these days…
Me: Aww… [to self: Muahaha!]
Friday: Phillies W 7-2
Saturday: Phillies W 4-1
Sunday: Phillies W 2-0
But the Marlins are way too close to the Phillies in the NL East standings…

Cute photochop!
ReplyDeletelove the phillies. LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteThe Phillies won 22-1 on Monday. Imagine what that would have done to your Dad if they had done that Sunday?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... the Marlin's might be the team to watch this year. :)
We really need to get you talking football.
ReplyDeleteladystyx, I found this while googling around for "sad Mets fan" and just had to use it.
ReplyDeletewolf, I'm guessing you're actually from the area?
intense, what?? I can't believe I totally missed that. I only pay attention when they're playing one of our guys because then I can actually watch the game on TV. Man, I would've loved to see that one!! And dad might have broken up with the Mets then and there if was against them.
tooj, why? So I can trash talk your team? Eh, football's slow and complicated. They move a yard an hour.
