2-0 never sounded sweeter!!!

….And we’re at it again!!! :D

Who’d have thought Brett Myers would be the hitting hero??? Not me, but it’s all good, I’ll take it!!!

In the 8-5 victory last night, Myers had 3 RBIs and went 3 for 3 in his at-bats. His pitching wasn’t too shabby, either…

While the hitting was superb, as well as the pitching, maybe there was a higher power helping us out…for those who don’t know, Charlie Manuel’s mother and Shane Victorino’s grandmother passed away early Friday. Maybe it’s just me, but I really believe in this, that they helped this team to an important victory, and helped to keep them strong throughout.

Shane and Charlie, my thoughts and prayers are with your families<3

So, Philly goes to the west coast with a commanding 2-0 lead…these next couple games out there should be interesting!!!

They play tomorrow night, at 822…LET’S GO PHILS!!!

R.I.P–
June Manuel & Irene Victorino

tonight’s(!!!!!), and the rest of the series, breakdown.

Tonight’s the night!!!!! I’ve been waiting all week for this series to start, and it’s finally here!!!!!
Even better? Home field advantage!!! Well, for the first two games, at least…if it goes to seven, then we’ll have 4 at home.

What does home field advantage mean, exactly? As good ol’ Uncle Charlie says…

“I think a home-field advantage becomes an advantage to us in two
ways. I think our fans, I think
it’s very noisy. I think our players, they like to play for our fans,
especially when all the energy is in the ballpark. I think that
definitely plays a part in it.  And the fact that we would have four games here, if it
happens to go to seven games. I think that definitely helps us. I think
you’re going to see two very balanced teams. And I don’t see no reason
why we can’t be the winners, though.” 

The one element that everyone seems to agree on in this series, that will win it for that certain team, is pitching.  Pitching, when used correctly, is an extremely dangerous weapon. 

The series matchups (through game 4):
Lowe v. Hamels
Billingsley v. Myers
Moyer v. Kuroda
Blanton v. TBD

Once the starters do their job, it’s up to the bullpen.

Both teams are hard, home-run hitters.  It’ll be a toughly fought battle to represent the NL in the World Series, and I cannot wait to watch it!!!!!

Don’t forget to watch, 8:22 on FOX….LET’S GO PHILS!!!! :)
