I saw that on TV yesterday and I couldn't believe it. It was the talk of 610 for the better part of the evening too. Yeah, Phils!

That is awesome...I give them credit. The question I had was what were the Rockies players and coaches doing while all this was going on?

Only 1 member of the Colorado Rockies team actually helped. The rest were in the clubhouse.

Howard was talking about it during the home run derby. He said he just did it without thinking. Said it reminded him of college when he did it more often.

thought i'd share this

i was supposed to start tutoring at 4:30. i pulled up to the kid's house and listened to the last five min in the car. i was shouting so loud. it's been 14 years since we have been in the playoffs and that's too damn long....

Congrats for your team! Mine deserves to miss the playoffs after the last month's performance. I still have the flyin' hawaiin and aaron rowand on my fantasy team, so I'm rooting for them now. Get it done guys!

It's okay, they'll make sure to trade away Ryan Howard and not re-sign Chase Utley at the end of the season, after they fire the manager. Same thing that happened with the last good team Philly had about 3 years ago.

ok, i was just sharing a very brief moment of happiness in my 27 years of being a faithful philadelphia sports fan.

do we make stupid trades? yes.
do we have bad players? yes.
do we choke when it matters most? yes.
are we cursed for all time? yes.

now that that is out there i'd like to say shut up about it. let me enjoy my one beautifully glimmering moment of elation. thanks.

*world's tiniest violin playing*

I was just in my freshman year at UD when the Phils were last in the playoffs. I remember the joy (and subsequent pain) of that season, so I'm with you Elisa! I was shouting, hootin', and hollerin' after Myers recorded that last out. I don't care about the future or the past, but yesterday was truly spectacular.

Then the Eagles went and fucked it up. Razz
