The whole city?
Yes.
The pain will forever be burned on my soul: I am a Philadelphia sports fan.

If you can't get 10K win, might as well go for 10K losses!

This is the least controversial topic on the forums by a considerable margin. Of course Philadelphia is cursed.
Well think about it, everyone thought the redsox were cursed!

They are cursed. Their next world series victory will be in 2088. :)

On another thread i was making a point that the Phillies are like France, and i've been proven right.

I had no idea that the Phillies made excellent cheeses and had a true lust for life that is lost on many people.

At least the Phillies didn't suffer the indignity of the Texas Cocktease.

The only curse the Phillies have right now is terrible ownership and a fairly mediocre front office.
If Comcast owned the Phillies they would probably have made the playoffs multiple times over the past few seasons. Alas, we're stuck with Giles and Montgomery.

Don't forget Uncle Charlie and the still-lingering effects of Ed the Undying Wade (Pat Burrell).

Hey, let's keep this in perspective...
Philly is the only big-league team in any sport to have racked up ten thousand losses.

Phillies Win % - .469
Arizona/Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals Win % - .408
Chicago Blackhawks Win % - .412
Not to mention they play more games in a season than any sport.

actually we're only like 2,000 wins away for our number 10,000 win :p
I'm about 1000 losses late but:
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND

That's a hell of a coincidence - .408 for all three? :p

To quote Uncle Charlie -
"Yeah, we have 10000 losses, but we're first in wins."
More like eighth there, Charlie.

But 10K is still 10K. You've got to win 100 games a year for the next half century just to hit .500. That's a tough task.

As a Cubs fan, this fills me with a certain amount of glee mixed with relief.
Better you than us.
