Phiadelphia Sports Heartbreaking Moments

Here is a list of heartbreaking moments for the Philadelphia Sport fans of the generation who has never saw a Championship. These dates will forever haunt our lives

• Phillies-1993 World Series Game 6, October 23, 1993...Phillies vs Blue Jays...1 out, 2 men on..down by 1, bottom of the 9th, Joe Carter hits a blast to deep left field, breaking up one of the most interesting teams in all of sports history. Phillies fans every where remain devastated till this day
  
• Eagles-2005 Superbowl February 6, 2005- McNabb and Reid take way to long to get the ball down field. By the time they get a touchdown it's to late for a chance to get the ball back. They miss the on-side kickoff and lose the game 24-21 to the Patriots. A sudden collapse occurs with TO demanding more money, and the downward spiral begins and for the first time in 5 years they miss the playoffs the next season.
  
• Flyers-1999-00 Eastern Conference Finals Game 5, May 22, 2000- Up 3-1 in the series to the New Jersey Devils, the Flyers hosted them and were ready for the trip to meet Stanley. They lose 4-1 and lose the next two. Becoming the first team in NHL history to lose a series in the playoffs after being up 3-1. Lindros comes back in the 7th game and gets destroyed at center ice by Scott Stevens, leading to his eventual demise as the star in Philly.
  
• Flyers-2003-04 Eastern Conference Finals Game 7, May 22, 2004- After taking the hardest path possible, against their strongest rivaliries, Devils then the Maple Leafs. The Flyers won a heroic Game 6 in overtime against the Tampa Bay Lighting to even the series at 3-3. The ended up losing 2-1 in Game 7, and the lock-out would purse the following year.
  
• Eagles-2002: 1-27-02, 2003: 1-19-03, 2004: 1-18-04 Conference Championships, Eagles- Although the first one was an unexpected surprise. The St.Louis Rams game was the closest of them all losing 29-24. We thought the Eagles would win at least one of the next two. The second one against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a heated rivarly all season long. They beat them twice before in the season, but of course no one team had ever one three times in a single season against another. They were outplayed and ended up losing 27-10. Carolina beat them for the 3rd one, and depressions sunk into the stomachs of fans all over, they did manage to come back the following season by picking up TO and going all the way to the Superbowl.
• Phillies-2006-After trading away the better half of them team, the young players took this as an insult and came back with the best record in the majors since the All-Star break. They manage to come within 2 games of the Wildcard, and maybe if that Chase Utley homer was ruled fair instead of foul in Washington they might have been in the playoffs. They actually had a better record than the champions that year (No disrespect to the Cardinals, since they destroyed the Tigers). At the start of the 2007 season they had practically collasped into one of the worst starts ever seen. They are now 3-9.
  
• 76ers-2000-01 NBA Finals June 15, The Philadelphia 76ers put together an amazing season, with a 10-0 start. Then the chemistry was lost in the locker with Theo Ratliff getting injured. Yet, they got good ol' Mutumbo who would help fill that gap. They beat the Pacers in the first round 4-0, and then took the Raptors, and Bucks all the way to Game 7. The 76ers were then summed to face the Lakers who had not lost a game yet in the playoffs. They would come up striking first with a win, and put hope in the hearts of all fans. They soon became America's team with the all-out Allen Iverson playing style. Eventually they would soon lose the next 4 games, and ever since the team has spiraled downwards.
  
• Flyers-2007 NHL Draft, April 11, 2007- The Flyers with the worst record and only 56 points, lose the draft to the Blackhawks who had 71 points at season end.
  
• Phillies-Horrible trades- Curt Schilling 7-26-00, Scott Rolen 7-29-02, and Bobby Abreau 7-30-06. What does it mean when a team gives away its best players for rookies or no namers, while everyone though they still had potential to compete. It means the management is horrible and the players want to leave.
