Daily News | Sadness: It’s a Philly thing
. It couldn’t happen. It wouldn’t happen. It did. And that was our sin: We dared to hope, and our hopes were yet again dashed. We rose above our station, forgetting, for a moment, that our lot as Philly sports fans – as Philadelphians – is to dream of nice things, once in a while reaching the Promised Land, but mostly falling short.
The Philadelphia Union’s title defeat in November surely stung. To lose like that on penalty kicks. And the Phillies hurt, of course. But their run felt almost like a bonus, a longshot to even make the playoffs, never mind Game 5 of the World Series, and providing all that magic along the way.
Others tweeted about all that perfectly good pole grease gone to waste. Some even planned a support group to meet up on Thursday at Bridget Foy’s. Better to mourn together, of course, especially if a group celebration is not an option.
