Just got back from the game. Great time. It is certainly exciting nothing like last year though. I think the difference is that last year was more like holy crap we made it, best thing ever. This year it is we made it, now let's win in the playoffs.

I just read through the game thread. No one seems to like you and you made dumb comments the whole time. So please don't quote my posts.

I can't stop thinking about how awesome back-to-back is. I am going again tomorrow and the only thing I get to worry about is whether I will or won't win a year's supply of hot dogs.

If you do win the hot dogs, don't leave them out front of CBP and get the bomb squad called in again.

awesome avatar -- I was at a retreat all day and caught most of the last two innings on the radio. Proceeded to go ape s*** in the parking lot of Hunan Garden (Trexlertown) when Harry and LA called that double play. Wonderful feeling.

well maybe. I'm pretty sure Victorino isn't playing and neither is Utley. Howard might though

Howard has 199 K's. I say there's no way he plays.

found out a friend of mine was sitting in 124 today, so after i was done working i headed on down there to say hi. turns out the seat next to him was empty the whole game. really. i had a seat, and the rest is history. it's right behind home plate, so it was a great place to watch- not as great as the groundskeepers' room where i watched from last year, but it was fun to be there at the end with him.

poor guy missed the clinching game last year because his dad asked his younger brother to go with him instead (my friend got to go in 93; that was the reasoning). i had a chance to go down to the diamond club instead, but i'm glad i got to watch this one with one of my oldest, closest friends. he's one of "those guys" who is nearly 30 and still wants autographs and hats and any kind of souvenir he can get. his wife is well-trained, so she elbowed her way down to the phillies dugout after the game- exactly the same spot where i watched the post-game celebration last year with this guy's dad and brother.

all i had to take pictures with was my stupid (now champagne-soaked) iPhone. here are a few of my favorites:

What a finish. I had 8:00 dinner reservations and I think I was still shaking until after the appetizers.

I almost had the same reaction as Utley apparently when that ball came off of Zimmerman's bat (the stain on the back of his pants- not kissing Brett Myers).

people were calling les, "alfonseca". oh people.

bahahaha @ myers spraying people's iphones
