Phillies Nation

ONE MORE WIN! I can’t believe I just typed that! Blanton should get the Ashburn.

Tonight we CRUSHED, tomorrow we must FINISH! Go Cole!

I know the whole city has me!!! GOOSEBUMPS’08!!!

This was the Phillies at their best tonight. Smackin balls around like no other. The other games were won and were great too, but this was classic Phils hitting tonight and it was refreshing to see.

GO PHILS!! 1 MORE WIN!!

Joe “F-ing” Blanton!!!!

The Legend of Fat Joe will live on Forever. Things are destined to be when Blanton takes one deep. For all of those Phillies faithful in the world, I want you to close your eyes a minute and picture this:
1. Chase Utley hits a homer off the foul pole two years ago in Washington that was called foul. 5 days later, we were eliminated from the playoffs.
2. Billiy Wagner gives up a homer to Jeff Bagwell with two weeks left in the season three years ago to give the Astros the wild card lead. Harry Kalas’ home run call went: “All of the runs are unearned, but so what.”
3. Obviously Joe Carter’s name mst be mentioned.

Now, open your eyes, exhale, and know this: It’s over. All of the torture that we have endured over the past 28 years will end tomorrow. Our wounds will heal, and we will no longer be losers. We’ll always be Philadelphians, and tomorrow, we will never be more proud. I’ll end this with a uote from Fred Shiro: Win today and we will walk together FOREVER!

Blanton – 2-0 in the postseason.

Harden – winless

CC – Winless

Gillick = Genius.

I hope my boss — a Mets fan — doesn’t expect me to show up for work Tuesday if we win tomorrow. I don’t care if he does.

ONE GAME AT A TIME. Let’s net get too ahead of ourselves because Hamels will be our pitcher tomorrow. WE NEED TO KEEP HITTING THE BALL and SCORE AS MANY RUNS AS POSSIBLE!!

Go Phillies!!!!!!!!!! I’m so proud of this team!

Bring little santa clauses and wave them. It’ll confuse Joe Buck (not that that takes much effort).

OK gotta ask the question again if we win tomorrow, when is the parade? any ideas. I cant believe I am even able to ask this…Lets go Phils

i don’t think this will fully hit me until December. all i can keep saying is, i can’t believe this, i can’t believe this is happening. and it is, this is real!

I can’t f*cking wait till tomorrow. I will be at the game. I already have tears of joy and excitement in my eyes and I’m not even there yet. I will ball like a little girl when they win it all tomorrow, just like I did when Mitch Williams let up that homer to Joe Carter 15 years ago. This is a team of destiny and I’m so proud to be a fan of it. All of the years of torture I’ve gone through over the years will finally be erased. It will all have been worth it.

On a side note, does anyone know about the tug-o-war? 610 is hosting it. Only people named Phil or Ray can be a part of it. I’m Phil and I’m a really big dude. I used to play 1st base. I’m almost Ryan Howard’s size, a couple of inches shorter though. I want to beat the Rays. haha

Paul – I watched Blanton pitch against the Phillies; I never complained about the trade to start.

All – I moved from Philly some time ago, but my heart is with the Phillies. I will always be a fan and I am sad I won’t be able to make the parties… GOSH, one more. It just hit me. I have waited 15 years for this and I think we should not mention the words Joe Carter (Phil); tomorrow we have redemption from 1983 and 1993 I hope….

Ill be popping bottles and Cottman and Frankford tomorrow.

I was there. We broke my losing streak. What a great game!

LET’S GO PHILLIES!!!

ONE MORE WIN!!!

oh yo Rick…did you see the people outside a block away watching on the big screen TV? We partied with them after they won the NLCS last week. Those people are all cool.

I’m loving being able to say Bam Bam pitched a gem. My teacher scheduled a test for tuesday morning for accounting 2. My reply was. Ill see you next semester. No way I’m missing anything for a test. But what can I say that’s a typical mets fan trying to ruin the Phillies fun in anyway they can. PHIGHTINS one more win. Oh ya I saw Jimmy Rollins about 2 hours ago and he said they’ll take care of business with Cole on the Mound. YAAAA BOYYY lets f*ing do it

I saw the video of Blanton’s homer — awesome — beyond description. He hauled off and ripped it. Looked like Luzinski.

I just heard an interview with Just Joe.. about his first hr since High School… he said he “just closed my eyes and swung hard..”

Do you love it or what?

Even after Ryans HR, it was almost TBD what was going to happen although everyone was sure – then when Just Joe hit it – Oh man… wildness!

Took my grand daughter to the game last night and she is whining now about school! Believe me, she will never forget her Phillies experience!

So Monday morning begins…

I’m at work (like many of you right now I’m sure), after last night’s game. I’m reading about last night, as well as some previews / speculation for game 5 tonight. It hasn’t even truly hit me yet that tonight, this could be ours.

In my honest opinion, I think the Phillies will finish off the Rays strongly tonight. Hamels wants games like this. He knows what awaits at the end of the tunnel. His performance tonight will be nothing short of stellar.

Phillies fans will be insanely intense on EVERY pitch tonight. We will have this team going. After last night, I don’t think pressure will be an issue, our team is having fun now, and with that, it brings wins.

I plan to be distracted during work for the next 8 hours with the upcoming game. I can’t wait to chat more about it and see what analysts have to say, etc.

For those of you lucky enough to go to game 5 tonight, give em’ hell boys. Make that place shake!

This is our year!

I’ve been decorating my office, print away!

YES! One more win. This is their time. The Rays looked done last night. I expect them to play well tonight, but they ave to face Cole Hamels and hes just unbeatable right now. This is it!

Scott I was there too and some lame couple and their kid left in the top of the 8th that was sitting right next to me. There was another couple in front of me with an even younger kid, and they were letting the little kid yell whatever he wanted and the dad was ridiculously profane. It was awesome. haha The family in front of me booed the family that was leaving early.

I got SRO tickets for tonight on Saturday! 3 tickets for a grand which turned out to be a GREAT deal since all the chips fell in place and tonight could be the night! This is our time!
