Let’s Go, Phillies!

Phillies on Cira Cen­ter., orig­i­nal­ly uploaded by Black­mail Is My Life.

Helen and I were afraid that tonight’s game might get rained out, which would’ve meant that she would miss Game 4 because she’s leav­ing for San Diego on busi­ness Monday.

When it was clear that they were going to play tonight no mat­ter what, crafty lefty Jamie Moy­er became the focus of our anx­i­ety. Would he turn in a per­for­mance like he has in his last two post­sea­son starts?

Nope.

Moy­er’s pitched a gem into the sev­enth. Ruiz, Utley, and Howard have home­red and the Phils lead 4–3 at the moment. Let’s hope they can hold on for the win!

We Can’t Wait for Thursday!

Unless you could­n’t pull your­self away from anoth­er under­whelm­ing Eagles game, you already know what I’m talk­ing about. Yes, the Phils have advanced to face the Dodgers in the NLCS! It’s a fit­ting match up as both teams swept the oth­er in the reg­u­lar sea­son. They’re a for­mi­da­ble oppo­nent, but I like the Phils in five.

Helen and I have tick­ets to game one and we’ll resume our nor­mal posi­tion behind home plate on the main con­course. If they need to play a fifth game, we have tick­ets to that one too!

Con­grat­u­la­tions, Phillies! Let’s go all the way!
