BYAAAH!!

It's like the baseball gods tortured me for the past decade just to prove that they could make it up in 1 weekend.
The Phils are in the playoffs, and in most memorable fashion.
The Mets did not win the division, and they did not make the playoffs at all.
The Suckdres fell quicker than characters in Family Guy (the animators cut out frames when people in that show fall to make it more sudden and funny). My last post was a whining rant about how the Padres, whose playoff clinch seemed imminent, shouldn't be in the playoffs. And then, somehow, it didn't happen. Something I wanted actually happened!
Sure, I would have preferred to play San Diego than Colorado, but seeing that collection never-was-nor-will-be-nor-could-be position players crumble after watching them celebrate their ridiculous wins was just too satisfying.
Congrats Phillies! You earned it! The Mets may have dropped off completely at the end, but your 13-4 made it relevant.
A special thank you to those Phillies who contributed but will not be on the postseason roster. We'll miss you (you in particular Geoff).
