For the generation that experienced the Phillies in 1980, tomorrow night could be a pleasant encore of that wonderful season.

For the generation that experienced the Phillies in 1993 (and since), it could finally be the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow that has been mostly black.

With Cole Hamels pitching at home with a 3-1 Series lead, Philadelphia is as close as it can be to ending its title drought without actually doing so.

Seeing how excited people are in Philly, the suburbs, Jersey and Delaware this fall has been amazing. Seeing my dad excited about the Phils again is incredible. Seeing my sons getting into it is worth all the heartache the Phillies have been through.

But it's not over. When it is, maybe I'll be able to put it into words.

Until then. Same Cole time, same Cole channel....
