    Yeah, all the so-called damage from Wednesday night was limited to a 4 block radius and was mostly caused by a bunch of drunk frat boys. But given our reputation this has really been awesome and filled with joy...b,121b,121What hasn't been reported was the incredible feeling of unity that's been going on. EVERYONE here has come together, all races sexes and backgrounds. I've never seen anything like this. Never EVER.

    Damn, happy for your city, Coz. That sounds awesome. Question - Does the rest of your state share in the Philly's victory or do they not give a fusk?

    It's a glorious day.b,121b,121Have you ever heard the old saying "Between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh is Alabama?" It's terrible - PA is a big state and it's really backwater on some shit. But no, it's only South East PA and South Jersey who are Phillies fans.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Word. Reason I ask is Palin was campaigning in Erie, Pennsylvania and she tried to hype the crowd by giving props to the Phillies. Muthafuskas in the crowd started booing her...haha
