So close I can almost taste it

It is going to happen very, very soon. Like the moon landing or the JFK assassination it will be a "do you remember where you were?" moment to share with you grandchildren. The Phillies need only 8 more losses to be the first professional sports team to reach the coveted 10,000 loss plateau (or is it a valley or crevasse of some sort?).

And as long as there have been Phillies, or even Quakers as they were originally known, there have been Stringers, surprisingly "Yank in London" is not my real name, there to support them going all the way back to 1883.

I am afraid to think what that says about my genes!
