Welcome to the most agonizing two weeks of our lives thus far.

(You were born in '81, right? So it'll be the first WS victory for us...)

Yup. January 19, 1981.

On January 25, 1981, the Eagles lost the Super Bowl.

It's in my blood.

dude. I feel your pain. Ack! Even though I am by no means an ardent Philadelphia sports fan, I ALWAYS get emotionally invested every time we get close to the sniff of victory. And oh yes, the election. Am taking work off.
