Fighting back from behind in clutch situations...jumping out ahead early on...forgetting mistakes and making the next play...this Phillies team has done it all this postseason.They removed the hearts of the LA Dodgers for the second year in a row and have shown the character of a championship team.
This team has captured the hearts of the city of Philadelphia and their chemistry is unmatched--even by the New York Yankees which is basically a team of mercenaries, free agents with big contracts and low levels of loyalty...(Damon and Boston...A-Rod and his wife and the integrity of baseball...Teixeira and the Braves/Angels/Texas...Burnett Blue Jays...Sabathia Brewers).
Regardless of who makes it from the American League (Angels or Yankees) this World Series will be enjoyable simply because of the Phillies. They can and have done it all: homers, small ball, steal bases, amazing starting pitching (see Cliff Lee), and left fans holding their breath (sometimes for negative reasons like errors and bases loaded jams).
I can't wait and I can't believe that the Phillies are going to back to back World Series for the first time in team history.
I am sticking with my initial playoff prediction--PHILLIES OVER YANKEES.
TUNE IN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28TH--and cheer for not only the most talented team in baseball or the nicest group of guys...but the team that is the most fun to watch.
Some of the Phillies fans are fun to watch too.
(Most Watch!!!)
