Well for the second straight year the phillies captured the NL East crown. Now they again waited until the last week of the season to do it but hey - an NL East title is an NL East title regardless if they clinched in late August or late September right? In Philly it is at least! Incidentally, but not regretfully I will mention that also for the 2nd straight year the Met's managed to blow a lead in the division and miss out on the playoffs altogether! Sorry mets - not really though.
So tonight the Phils play host to the Brew crew from Milwaukee who limped through September but sealed up the wildcard and oh yea, has that ace in its pocket named C.C. Sabathia. On a good note for Phils fans, though, Ben Sheets is not on the playoff roster due to an elbow injury. Hopefully there is a reversal of fortune here and the Phillies, who now have playoff experience can be the Rockies of last year whereas the Brewers, who are simply happy to be in the playoffs will assume the Phillies role of last year and make a first round exit, preferrably via a sweep.
Go Phils! There's nothing like October baseball!!
