Something Special

This has not been an easy year to be a Phillies fan. There were the early struggles, the injuries to the bullpen, and of course the passing of Harry the K. However, through it all, steady Charlie has kept this team together. I think the turning point in the season was that 8-2 road trip through DC, Cincinnati and the Bronx. After taking 2 out of 3 from the Yankees, the Phillies gradually took off. They overcame a 1-8 homestand and a sweep in Atlanta during June to turn it around. That 10-1 homestand before the all-star break was something to behold. Four players with 30 or more home runs. The Phils match up with New York or LA but the starting rotation beyond Lee could be a potential concern. This Phillies team has something that cant be measured by statistics. They have plenty of heart and they've won the hearts of everybody. Six outs to go.
