Not sure what to do with all that. I guess I will count my blessings and pray for more of the unusual if it means we are in first.
Today is the long anticipated match up with the Evil Empire II. Some are billing this as a Fall Classic preview. That means some people are idiots.
Hamels on the hill vs. Colon tonight. I have to like Philly tonight.
Here it is boys. I don't want to overemphasize the series (as a safeguard against catastrophe - gotta have a Plan B.) However, there is no denying how much this means to the Phils.

'evil empire ii'. that's just mean.
It was written with much jealousy and with toungue firmly planted in cheek.
I'd give Whitney's left nut for the Phillies to be Evil Empire III. Hell, let's just form the axis of evil and change the name of MLC.
well, things are going swimmingly in philly.
ryan howard, excited about bartolo colon's comeback.
Sorry, I was busy following the Iron Pigs game vs. the PawSox. I think its raining in Allentown.
Typical RyHo game. 2 home runs, a triple and 2 K's.
I kid because I love you Ryan.
