Today was a big day in Philly sports. The Iggles played the Giants at home in the early afternoon, with the Phillies hosting the Yankees in the evening. The Phillies are defending champs, but are heavy underdogs to the Yanks. The Iggles were also underdogs, so it was shaping up to be a long day.
Making it more fun is that Uncle Rob roots for the Giants and Yankees. We talk all the time on the phone, texting, and via email. We've done a few baseball trips together, we've know each other for over 20 years now, and both really value our friendship. That's what makes the ribbing about the sports teams so much fun.
The Eagles went out and pounded the daylights out of the Giants, winning 40-17. The last time they scored that many against the Giants at home was 1959!! As I am writing this the Phils are losing 4-3 in the 8th of game 4, and are down 2-1 in the series. Safe to say a loss here and the Phils have Mt. Everest to climb to win their 2nd straight title.
It looks like Uncle Rob and I are going to get a split in our NY vs Philly matchup, which is probably for the best as that gives us both something that we can change the subject to if the sledding gets to tough.
