Once again the Phillies are the NL East Champs and they are having a great postseason. Ryan Howard is earning the title, Mr. Red October. What an incredible ball player, and people wonder why almost all of my Phillies shirts have #6 on the back. Cliff Lee is well..."unbeLEEveable" and can't be stopped. Citizens Bank Park is ROARING with excitement and the white towels are spinning up in the air again.
The World Series is not far away and if you ask me, I think we have a great chance of getting there. Dad and I went to the World Series last year, we were in Philly every single day of the week leading up to the night of our victory and it was the most incredible thing I've experienced. You can't understand the meaning of the "city of brotherly love" until you've witnessed a World Series victory. Right before Lidge threw the winning pitch, Dad looked at me and said "Ang, I am so glad you're here with me, I was here with my Dad the last time we won the World Series. I'm letting you know right now this is it, we're the champions." If anyone knows my Dad, he knows his teams.
Sure enough, Lidge did it and fell to his knees. Before Ruiz caught the ball, the ENTIRE stadium fell SILENT. It's like everyone waited to hear the ball go into the catchers glove. Then everyone cheered. Dad was balling his eyes out, he was so happy. What a true Philly fan. I'm really hoping that we get to the World Series again this year so I can celebrate with Dad again:o)
Harry would be proud<3
