:*( RIP 2005 Phillies
Well, I applaud the Phillies for their effort today. They had to win, and they did convincingly. Kudos to J-Roll for extending his streak. I hope this announces his arrival as a true lead-off caliber hitter.

The end of the Chicago-Houston game was heartbreaking. I was so convinced Macias had a hit off the bat after quickly going 0-2, but it was not meant to be.

In the end, they did it to themselves. Had they even won one game against the 'Stros this year, it'd have been them in the Wild Card. It does give me hope for next year. I'm praying the Phillies oust Wade and Manuel. Whoever they find to replace Wade needs to go crawling on his hands and knees to Jim Leyland, apologizing to him for the treatment by the previous front office, and offering him a blank check. Pleeeeeease. :D
