This a late post regarding last night's game, but my computer was on the fritz and getting out of work at 3:45 a.m. is never fun.

My cousin used to live in Toledo, Ohio, and he was a big Mud Hens fan. In 1992, there was a picher who made 20 starts for the Mud Hens while trying to catch on with another Major League team. That pitcher was Jamie Moyer. If you had told me then that the guy would pitch in the World Series for the Phillies 16 years later, I would have bet anything against it.

Last night's game was one for the ages, and tonight is huge for the Phils. If they win this one and they have Cole Hamels at home to close it out, it could finally be celebration time for Phillies fans.

If the Rays rebound to win tonight, it's anyone's Series.

I am dismayed, though not surprised, that this series has gotten low ratings. There are teams other than Boston and the Yankees in this league, but not many people know that because of the way baseball is marketed. A lot of people are missing a good series.
