NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Oct 16, 2008 in Phillies
There is too much to write about this team, this game, and this entire season. It would take up 20 pages. Is it gay that I feel like I could cry reading Jayson Stark’s unbelievable article on ESPN this morning? Probably. Is this team a team of destiny? I don’t know, but it sure feels like it. The 1993 team had a similar feeling, except they were going up against a better Blue Jays team and were playing to keep up with them. This time is different. Four more wins. Just four.
First things first though…..this team is special because different guys are stepping up on offense every single night. This team is special because they have the best starting pitcher remaining in the playoffs. And most importantly, this team is special because they have the best bullpen in baseball. Think about that. The Phillies have the best bullpen in baseball. It’s insane. How did they get to this point?
- Pat Gillick fucked up by giving away Gavin Floyd, signing Adam Eaton to that disgusting contract, and believing in Tom Gordon…..but how about letting Aaron Rowand go, bringing in Greg Dobbs/Matt Stairs/Pedro Feliz/Brad Lidge/Jason Werth? How have those guys worked out?
- How did Brett Myers go from the entire city wishing his wife would commit domestic violence against HIM for a change, getting sent down to fucking ALLENTOWN, and getting called back up and doing a 180 to lead this team into the playoffs. It’s official, we tend to overreact.
- Cole Hamels is officially a top 5 pitcher in baseball. No doubt. Anyone who thinks otherwise should have a “hot karl” performed on them. And wears a ‘merkin‘.
- How fucking gay are the Dodger fans? That stadium was half empty in the 4th inning. Disgraceful. When your biggest fans are Mary Hart and Pat Sajak, you know you’re in trouble.
- How could you not notice those three blond sluts behind home plate all night? And to watch that crotchety old sugar daddy sit next them, pay for their drinks, face-feed them Dodger dogs, and whisper sweet nothings in their ears gave me hope for my old age.
BELIEVE. More to come.
