Trust us. We're wicked good at reigning in hopes because of things like this.
Good teams tell adversity to f*ck off and then they go win. The Phillies, collectively, choose instead to wear why-us faces and lose big games. They get screwed legitimately (Chase Utley's home run Tuesday night was called foul even though it hit the foul pole, thus making it fair), but *everyone* gets screwed once in awhile.
They also had to wait more than four hours to play their must-win game last night because God forbid Major League Baseball actually readjust the schedule for things beyond anyone's control.
But if you think we're making excuses for the "Fightin's," yeah, no. We're not.
We're officially rooting for the Pedro-less Mets to face the Didn't-have-Matsui-or-Sheffield-or-any-good-pitcher-except-Wang-all-year Yankees to face each other in the World Series. Yay for over-hyped Subway Series, um, es, Serieses, Seriesesesses -- yay for another Subway Series!
The Phils are down two games in the Wild Card with three left to play. The Dodgers are red hot and the Phils' bats are flat, flat, flattaly flat.
Ech. Again. They lost the Wild Card by one game last year, too. Way to finish strong, fellas.
