Not because it was the first one in 100 years, but more so who we beat and how we did it in the ALCS.

I think if the Phillies went out and swept the Yankees last year would still be better.
but IF and its a huge IF.. we come back here and win in game 7 that just adds so much more to it being down 3-1 after game 4. Especially with the years ups and downs and the bullpen problems.. everything last year just seemed to go in our direction. While we had a much easier time winning the NL East this year.. those 18 blown saves were just one tough loss after another. I could just imagine how I will feel tomorrow if we win game 7 (if there is a game 7).. though I highly doubt its going to happen.
its all going to be a moot point though. thats my gut feeling.
