So the first playoff game between the Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers (who took the wild-card spot from the Mets) starts in a half hour!Dear God, can the Phillies please not blow it again this year? Thanks.
Also, I came across this quote by my boy Cole Hamels (who’ll be pitching this afternoon) about last year’s fallout:
“We believe we can go all the way and I think that’s something that was different from last year,” Hamels said. “We were just so excited that we got into the playoffs, we forgot what we really had to do. And, we ran into a hot team. I think we’re the hot team this year.”
Aww, those Phillies. They just get so gosh darn excited!
I’ll update with the final score at the end of the game. But you can keep track for yourself here.
UPDATE: Phillies win 3-1! And of course Cole did beautifully pitching 8 innings and only giving up two hits :)
