Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Brett Myers is ready to party... are you?


Brett Myers shared a funny story following Sunday night's 10-2 victory over the Rays, a game that moved the Phillies one win away from a World Championship.

(Funny saying "Phillies" and "World Championship" in the same sentence, huh?)

"I went out to throw a bullpen today," Myers said. "And I heard one of the greatest things I've heard in a long time.

"It's 4:15 in the afternoon. The Eagles are playing across the street. There's 2 minutes left. And I'm hearing Phillies chants. And that's weird. I'm used to hearing Eagles chants all these years (in this park). So to hear that, it gave me chills. It told me, 'These people are ready to go.'"

If the Phillies win tonight, the debate is over.

Philadelphia will be a baseball town. The team that ends 25 years of misery (and it's not a done deal just yet) will rule the city.

you are correct. writing on these crazy deadlines tends to make me miss/forget things that happen late in a one-sided game, in this case, werth's home run.

correction made.
