  • It Was a Great Ride, Phillies

    When my friend Mark called and asked me if I was inter­est­ed in attend­ing Game 6 last night, I could­n’t say no. I’d nev­er attend­ed a game in which the Phillies could be elim­i­nat­ed and it seemed like the most excit­ing expe­ri­ence I could ever has as a base­ball fan, short of Game 7 of the…

  • Phillies Win NLDS Game 2

    I’ve reached a new zen state when it comes to Phillies games, even play­off ones, it seems. Once upon a time last night’s game would’ve been a fright­ful affair, the enjoy­ment sucked out by the anx­i­ety of anoth­er poten­tial Game 2 loss.

It’s no mean feat in any sea­son, let alone one in which the team was sim­ply rav­aged by injuries to key play­ers all year long.…

  • Where Did the Summer Go?

    Can’t believe I’ll be going to my final reg­u­lar sea­son game at the ball­park Fri­day night. Feels like it was­n’t that long ago that I was sit­ting with my fam­i­ly in Nation­als Park, watch­ing Roy Hal­la­day make his Phillies’ debut. I love the MLB post­sea­son, but it’s come to mean an end to so many…
