Thanks bro. Been WAY too damned long. AHL and Arena Football championships aside... the city was hungry for a championship. Now I need to hold out hope that the Flyers can end their drought sooner rather than later.

Victorino...that's just awesome how the photographer captured it. I read an article on Slate (I think it was Slate) that said something like "OK, Philly fans...you're champions now...so you can stop hating yourself."

and you're 100% right...AHL/Arena championships while cool...don't really count.
