Phillies may be meant to win this year. Last team in National League to qualify for playoffs. They changed skippers mid season. Just shake my head they took out Mets, last years world series winner Atlanta, and Padras.
I was rooting for the Padres but it was a good series. There were some historic moments--like the Phillies' second baseman committing an error (allowing a Padres run), then getting two RBIs himself but then getting picked off at first base--all in the same inning. On Saturday the Padres went ahead for a while because their pinch-runner on second got to home on two successive wild pitches (maybe not entirely the pitcher's fault because of the rain).
Anyway hoping for a great World Series (that lasts more than four games).
