Gander I really like the Phillies coming home.
They are now tied with the Dodgers and a half game behind the Pads.

Gander, what have you got against my Phillies?
we haven't made the playoffs in forever
and last year we finsihed 1 game out of it
behind the Astros
if it happens again, it would be pretty devastating
I'm trying not to get my hopes too high
because after 162 games to come 1 short
you think about all those 1 run games throughout the year
(and believe me they lost a lot of those early)
so hopefully we can edge out on of the west coast teams
and maybe do some damage in the post-season

I guess it was all those years watching Larry Bowa as a manager. Never really cared for his tirades. That and I like the Dodgers, always have since the late 70's. But if your Phillies make it I will be the first to congratulate them as I did the Yankees and Mets. Good luck! Tied with 11 games to go, none of which with LA or San Diego.

there seem to be a lot of people who dislike Philly teams
most say it is because the fans are rude, or some such thing
but we haven't had a winner, since...hmm, Rocky Balboa?
I say "we" tenderly, as I have never lived there
but my Dad grew up nearby and raised me on Phillies baseball
if they make it, will be bittersweet watching it without him
fathers & sons and baseball have always kind of gone hand-in-hand

Sorry had to be said.
But I'm with you there. There was no way I wanted Toronto to win that series.
