we love you, phillies

This cute young fan's poster says it all. She's been bringing it to all the games, had it at Fan Appreciation day on Sunday and also the night before when the Phillies clinched. She even made the big screen that night. Pretty cool, huh!

Brad Lidge and Cliff Lee were named, respectively, the NL and AL Comeback Players of the Year. Way to go, Brad! Cliff Lee, too, had a great year.

Tomorrow is the first game of the play-offs. Goosebumps and butterflies! Lefty Cole Hamels goes for the Phillies, righty Yovani Gallardo for the Brewers. Gallardo is a rookie coming off an ACL tear but he is dominant. I remember the game last year in Milwaukee when he held the Phillies down. All in all, a scary match-up. Whatever happens, though, we love you, Phillies! Thanks for the 2008 season!
