Phailing Phillies


As some might know, I'm a big baseball phan (I mean, fan), and I'm still lamenting the rise and phall of the Phillies this year. Their historic comeback to overtake the NY Mets in the final weekend was truly remarkable and gave the city spirit that it hasn't seen in some time. And yet, their run was ended in just as dramatic a fashion, getting swept by the Rockies in three games. They forgot how to hit and their pitching, which was good, wasn't good enough. And after watching two of the other three division series end in sweeps, I didn't feel quite so bad. Yet, it's hard seeing them phalter. I guess there's always next year.
