The Philadelphia Phillies are a Major League baseball team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Phillies did in 2008 what the Mets and the Yanks could not do that year: win something. In fact, they won the World Series.

Many a Mets fan wishing to feel better about himself will tell you that the Phillies are the losingest franchise in sports history, having lost over 10,000 games. While this is true, it is mainly due to the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies are the oldest continuously operating sports franchise in the United States, and when one compares the two teams' historical records, their winning percentages are just about the same.
