I just read this whole game thread, because I hate myself I guess. I mean, yesterday's game was sad and disappointing, mostly because the Phillies pretty obviously had a fine pitcher and a better team, but were consistently victimized by the exact wrong thing happening at the exact wrong moment: dribbler in the first inning, bloop fuck-ing single by the pitcher in the fifth inning, a rare GIDP from Werth, Ruiz's GIDP when the rally was ON in the seventh.

Hopefully that was all our bad luck for one series in one game. They should have won, but for bull-shit they couldn't control.

And yet, when the Phils win the whole thing, people will say they were lucky, when the fact is they overcame adversity, because they're winners.
