I'm psyched to celebrate it. Still remember the last Sunday of 2007 like it was yesterday, the pit in my stomach that morning and the joy of the freaking Marlins wild'ing out.
I wouldn't put anything on until the Phillies game started. Refused to scoreboard watch until I absolutely had to. Watched the game on the couch telling myself something like, "This isn't happening, they'll blow it, etc." as a way of trying to contain myself. Remember when it got to the ninth and I let mytself accept it. Started jumping up and down wildly, screaming, "Nothing can stop it now!!!!"
Gave myself chills now remembering it all, also made myself realize what a sick bleeping baseball pup 1994-2006 had made me before the 2007 Phillies re-baptized me. It's amazing how much of a difference that getting to see that a run like this can actually happen makes. I am much more philosophical about the losses now.
It was nice how this game started slightly before the Phillies game and I was able to listen to the first inning on xm radio. I think I actually listened to most of that game on the radio intermittently while watching the Phillies game on my laptop.
