Phillies

First place!

Last year, it took us until the last day of the season to reach first place. This year, we did it by the end of May.

Let's stay there until the end!

Playoff beard

I haven't shaved since Wednesday, and at work I was asked why I looked so scruffy today. Instead of my usual excuse of laziness, I said I was growing a playoff beard in support of the Flyers.

I hope I'm still growing it in June.

Post Season

Well the baseball post season starts tomorrow. It is amazing who everybody is picking in the series. Phillies over the Rockies (I hope that is true). Cubs over the Diamondback (I do not think so). Indians over the Yankees (again I hope not). Red Sox over Angels (I can believe that one).

Playoff roster

The Phillies have until 10 a.m. tomorrow to announce their NLDS playoff roster.

Here is one man's hope for what that playoff roster looks like:

Shaun's 2007 Phillies Postseason Roster
Infielders (6): Dobbs, Howard, Iguchi, Nunez, Rollins, Utley.
Outfielders (5): Bourn, Burrell, Rowand, Victorino, Werth
Catchers (3): Barajas, Coste, Ruiz
Pitchers (11): Condrey, Durbin, Geary, Gordon, Hamels, Kendrick, Lohse, Mesa, Moyer, Myers, Romero

(See explanation here.)

Any suggestions?  Who do you want to see/not see on the Fightin's playoff roster?

GO PHILLIES!

C'mon Philly!

I'm only slightly annoyed that we lost to the Giants this evening. I'm incredibly pissed that we lost so horribly. C'MON EAGLES!!!!!!! What the hell?! Can you like meet up with the rest of us and give some more? Take yourself a lesson from the Phillies and actually do something that sports teams do....like win.

Sorry for the rant; I was on such a high with the win today that this just popped the balloon. And McNabb was wobbling his way across the back-half of the stadium? Alright, collective eyerolls are entirely and properly allowed here. Phans, what are we going to do about this team?
