Your Gamenight Beer
Here’s a Philadelphia genuine: Extra Special Ale from Yards. I’ve recommended this before, as it’s a very good, bitter, pale beer. But what I really recommend tonight is a Phillies win. One win, and the Phils are in the World Series. Come on, guys. Let’s do this. Get it done. One win. Hopefully we’ll be celebrating all night. This is our moment. No more short sentences — LET’S GO PHILLIES!
Go Phillies!

I hope Cole can keep his pitch count low. He deserves to go all 9 tonight.

Maybe it’s early, but forgive me. If Cole keeps pitching like this, who’s the MVP of the NLCS?
Victorino or Cole?
I’d almost say Cole.

Well, this is a big inning. The crowd is really into it all of a sudden – shutting them down would be huge.
