National League Champs!

Congrats to the Phillies for winning the N.L pennant.


Congrats to Ryan Howard for winning the series MVP award.


Congrats to this boring series being over. Hopefully someone in the A.L. actually gives the Phillies a tough go of it this postseason.

Great Finish In Philly

Wow. I was pulling for the Dodgers since the Phillies won it all last year, but watching the Phils play it's hard to root against them. What an awesome 9th inning.


I loves me some Matt Stairs. Here's his 2008 October Heroes card with him pictured hitting the ball a country mile in the game against the Dodgers in last year's NLCS.

Phillies Blank Dodgers To Take 2-1 Series Lead

I can't comment to much on this game. I was out watching the Bears fall apart against the Falcons and missed the entire thing.

I noticed in the box score this morning that Cliff Lee pitched himself one whale of a ball game. Shane Victorino fared pretty well too. I forgot I had the pic of him getting doused with beer at Wrigley earlier this season.


Hiroki Kuroda on the other hand? Not so hot...

Dodgers comeback in the 8th

Ok, so I got up early this morning so I could go to work early so I could leave work early so I could come home and watch this game. I got home in the 2nd inning and watched a doozy of a game.....with the Phillies leading 1-0......when......when I fell asleep in the 7th inning. I woke up to see Pinky Sager interviewing Andre Ethier.

This is a problem folks. When I can't stay awake until the end of a game that starts at 3 in the afternoon.....well.....where was I going with this anyway? Getting old sucks......

Looks like I missed a great one again. Luckily, my 2+ hour nap will ensure that I'm up for all of the Angels-Yankees game.


Russell Martin and Andre Either rallied off the beleaguered Phillie bullpen, who don't seem to be doing all that well this postseason other than Brad Lidge.

Ryan Howard was at it again. Here he's pictured on a 2009 All Star Card.

Phillies start it off with a bang

Well if this whole series is going to be like this......then bring it on! This is one of those rare postseason series where I like both teams and I'm just hoping for some great baseball. Last night didn't disappoint. What a great game!

The captain of my keeper league team, Ryan Howard, came through in the clutch again. Yeah, I really like this guy.


Manny hit his 326th postseason HR (or something like that...) to get the Dodgers back in it, but despite Ryan Madson's best efforts, they couldn't pull it out. Oh well, it was a fun game to watch and hopefully this series goes seven games.

Dodgers finish off the Cards

Well that was quick. Before the playoffs began I was hoping for a Cardinals-Twins World Series. That's not true. I was hoping for a Tigers-Cardinals World Series. But I'm over that now. It doesn't really matter anymore. The Cards are done and the Twins look to be right behind them. Joy!

I guess now I'm rooting for the Angels and Dodgers to play in the World Series, which means you can bet the house it will be the Red Sox and Phillies....


Hopefully I'm the first guy in the universe with cards of Smoltz and Padilla on their new teams. At least on cards that look as good as these.....

Cards drop Game 2.....literally.....

Of course.....I fell asleep in the 8th with the TV on only to be awoken by Dick Stockton screaming like a mad man and the Dodgers celebrating at home plate. I quickly jumped up and turned the game off, so I didn't know what happened in the 9th until this morning.


Ouch. Too bad for Holliday, who homered earlier to give the Cards a 1-0 lead. He seems like a nice guy. The Cards are all but done now.

It's cool to see a guy like Mark Loretta get to be a postseason hero though.

Dodgers take Game 1

I see where former Tigers and cannabis expert Jeff Weaver picked up the win in this game for getting 5 outs. Nice.

I'm a couple of days behind getting stuff up and since this isn't the game everybody is talking about, I'll keep it short.

How's that for short?
