Last night was one of the happiest nights of my life. Oh thats sad? Go fuck yourself. I have been waiting for this since i was 7 years old. And the last time the Phillies went to the big show i was too young to realize the significance. Well last night they reminded me by easily handling the LA Dodgers.
The only run that was given up was a shot by Manny off Hamels, and you know what...I'm ok with that.
Manny was probably so pissed last night, his teammates couldnt get on base to save their lives, and Manny would have done what he does best, produce if they had been--he was on base 3 times.
As for the World Series, I know what most people think--the AL is so much better than the NL. Ok, i can understand your argument, I see where you can think that. But this WS isn't 1 league vs. another, its one team vs another. I am frightful that the Phillies wont be able to play AL ball as well as the AL team will be able to play NL ball, but honestly...I'm not too nervous right now. A best of 7 series is just that, and anything can happen. Some of the top performers on the Phils haven't been playing that well lately either--Jimmy had a lead off home run last night but has struggled in the NLCS, and Howard hasn't gone deep in something like 33 AB (he averaged 1 every 13 AB during the season). So i feel like once the WS comes around, everyone will be ready and the power will be balanced...Plus Matt Stairs will probably hit DH and I gotta feel good about this guy gettin 4-5 AB a game.
thats what a man looks like.
Whoever they face in the AL, they will do their thing. I said it once I'll say it again.
Phillies in 6.
Holla
