ONE MORE WIN

That’s the cheer that can be heard on the streets of Philly, and the surrounding area.

It’s amazing, and, just like their bid to the World Series, too good for words.  We’ve been waiting for so long, and FINALLY, it’s here….

The only thing standing in our way? Game 5. 

But, while we may have one more game to play, I have complete confidence…and why is that?

Because we have Cole Hamels.  It’s Game 1 all over again…and we all know how that came out…with a win :)

You better believe that if we win it all tonight, I will be in the city tomorrow, watching the parade. In fact, I might even go tonight…we’ll see.

First, let’s go over Game 4….
It was awesome. We were so good, our pitcher even hit a home run, which was probably the best one I’ve ever seen.  Ryan Howard hit two long ones, and Jayson Werth added one in for good measure.  We stepped all over the Rays’ toes, but did it the good old-fashioned way: by showing we have talent.

Let’s hope that Game 5 is just as exciting, which, regardless, it’ll probably blow Games 1-4 out of the water!!!!

LET’S GO PHILS!!!

world series so far….

While games 1 and 2 weren’t exactly the run-packed games that we thought it was gonna be, of course, game 1 was still the best!!!! But, game 2 tied it up…

Which leads us to (hopefully) game 3…

Let’s pray for the rain to go away!!!

LET’S GO PHILS!!!!!

well how about that….

It’s gonna be a Phillies-Rays world series….
I called it!!!! :-P
Bring ‘em on!!!!!

LET’S GO PHILS!!

Waiting stinks….and still am speechless.

A week without my Phils is touuuugh. Tougher than I thought, actually…but, I guess it’ll all be worth it in the end :)
I still can’t put my joy and excitement into words.  It’s too hard, but I guess the huge smile on my face moving into next week says it all…

Wednesday is just gonna be great.  I know they’ll play with everything they’ve got.  They’ve got a great mentality right now by taking it one game at a time.  It’s healthy, and doesn’t distract as much…

The South Jersey paper released an article today listing the price of World Series tickets in Philly.  The grand total??  $405 for standing room, and up to $20,000 for seats….yes, kids, that is PER TICKET.  I just wish I had the money to pay for a ticket, cause I would in a heartbeat!!!!  But, I guess I’ll just settle for watching them on TV, in which I’m not complaining..haha.

ESPN mentioned that they’ll play a simulated game tomorrow, probably to keep themselves loose…wonder if it’ll be on TV?  Cause I’d love to watch it!

In other baseball news…
the Rays/Red Sox game last night was definitely fun to watch.  Like everyone else, I thought it was over after 7-0, but the Sox showed their resilience and came back to win by one run. 
They play tomorrow night, and should make for some interesting TV…
Who do I think will win?  While I know it’s downright dangerous to count Boston out of anything, I think Tampa has the upright in this situation.  Playing at home, with your best pitcher starting, possibly pulling a vengence card?  It makes sense, but when it comes to the playoffs, you have to throw the sense out the window….with that said, I’m still gonna go with the Rays.
As far as who I WANT to win, I’m still not sure…like I said, I’m still giddy from making it this far……..so, like I’ve been saying all this postseason, we’ll just have to wait and see…

LET’S GO PHILS!!!

one win away…

Yes, ladies and gentlemen…the Fightin’ Phils are ONE WIN AWAY from representing the NL in the World Series!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, we have to wait a day till their next game, but I’m sure it’ll be worth it!!! :)

And nobody thought we could do it….well think again, cause we are well on our way!!!!!!!

LET’S GO PHILS!!

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!!!! :)
