NLCS Game 1 get psyched

The Phillies play tonight in sunny San Diego.  I have tickets for Sunday's Game 5 so I am predicting witnessing a clincher.

Who's your Daddy?  Not
The Padres, who will face sure
Defeat.  Phils in five.

Phils win Game 4, 8-3, series, 3-1

The Phillies are going to the NLCS.  Another blowout included a history-making inside the park HR by J.T. Realmuto.

J.T. Realmuto,
The best catcher in baseball,
Ran and touched them all

The Phillies play on
The Braves go to the golf course
Next up, the Padres

Phils win Game 3, 9-1

The Phillies played their first postseason game at home in 11 years and blew the roof off the place.  It was all over after Hoskins and Harper went deep in the third inning.

Game Three was a blast
Best way to sum up would be:
Rhys Hoskins bat spike

Phils lose Game 2, 3-0

This game was a serious bummer.  The Phillies had a few chances to score early, and then a miscue in the field ruined Zack Wheeler's great start.  

Hoskins's backhand stab
Ruined Wheeler's night and the
Phillies' night also

Phils win Game 1, 7-6

Game 1 had timely hitting and great defense.  The Phils added on runs, and they needed every one of them in the end.

Can hit them and catch them, too
Phils need two more wins

Eleven years later

I couldn't bring myself to post eleven years ago when the Phillies lost, 1-0, to the Cardinals and the Golden Era ended.  

It ended so fast
I wasn't ready to write
I am ready now
