Phillies vs Yankees – It Was In The Cards

ws logo 2009.gif

After a few days of waiting to find out who would be the Phillies’ World Series opponent, the Yankees sent the Angels back home, defeating them in Game 6 of the ALCS. I was kind of hoping they’d go to Game 7, so the winner would only have one day off, they’d be nice and tired, and hopefully CC would not be available the first game or so. No such luck.

Nonetheless, destiny was fulfilled, and I will not have to hear those freakin’ thunder sticks booming out of my TV any more.

So why do I say “destiny”?

If you’re a regular reader of Jane Heller’s Confessions of a She-Fan, you may recall an entry she wrote back in February, after consulting a tarot card reader on the fortunes of the Yankees this season. Here’s an excerpt from the tarot card reader’s comment clarifying the results of her reading:

… So, for all of you fans out there that would really like to see the Yankees win the championship, keep your thoughts and feelings positive and in this way we can co-create a resonant field of success that energetically supports their win. It’s just quantum physics.

Shortly after that was this exchange between Jane and myself:
 

So Jane, does this mean that if Jenn and I concentrate hard enough, we can get the Phillies back to the WS? A Phillies-Yankees series would be cool!
Loved the article – it was really funny!

Glad you liked the article, Sue. Yes, we must concentrate and we will “manifest” our guys to victory! A Yankees-Phillies WS would work for me.

So you see, Jane and I already had it agreed way back in February, our teams would meet in the World Series.
 
There’s just one problem.
 
We never broached the topic of the outcome of the WS. I guess if we extrapolate from Patricia’s comments, the team whose fans put out the most positive thoughts will create the larger field of success, thereby leading that team to victory. This is a tall order for most Philadelphia sports fans – we’re just genetically programmed to expect the worst.
 
So fellow Phans, I ask you – no, I command you – think positive! Concentrate! Let’s lead our team to victory in our minds, and they will follow on the field!

    Sue, I have to tell you….I was in a panic yesterday about Patricia’s tarot reading. I called her to see if she’d give me another one and it turns out she’s away on a “silent retreat” and can’t be reached! So we’re on our own. I’ll be in my house “manifesting” and you’ll be in yours doing the same, and may the forces be with us!

    Hey Sue, I had forgotten about Bako being with the Phillies and I overlooked Milt Thompson. Thanks! That is a lot of ex-Dodgers in your team.
    Good luck!
