If you look close, you’ll see this “Back To Back Champs.” The Philadelphia Phillies did win the last World Series but, this year’s World Series isn’t even over. This must have seen like a bad joke to the millions of Philadelphia Phillies fans who watched their team have a total meltdown in the 9th inning last night to lose Game 4.
Yes, we want to believe just as much as Macy’s but Geez, tone it done. If Macy’s really loves Philadelphia this much, how about pledging to cover the cost of a victory parade should the Phillies have a miraculous comeback.
The New York Yankees lead the series 3 to 1. That means, if Philadelphia loses tonight’s game - we’re out.
The Philadelphia Inquirer posted an apology to its readers on its website today.

This is a good article, but the last game showed the Phillies had both stellar offense and defense. Kudos to Cliff Hill,
Chase Utley, and the entire team.
