Well, well, well! Like the great Mr. Berra once said “It’s like Deja Vu all over again.” PhillyBoyinLA here reporting from the City of Angels and it looks like my Fighting Phillies have a 3-1 lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the battle for the NLCS. It’s been a while my friends and with Stardum Mag going through an overhaul , it just hasn’t been the same this playoff season not reporting the Phillies playoff action....but thanks to BlogSpot I’m sending this friendly notation out the readers of my Stardum Blog. A lot has changed in the past year, which includes me becoming a father to the Littlest Phillies Fan in La (but that article is for another day and deserves every ounce of my energy).
Now for the second year in a row I’m watching our boys in Red take on the Blue Crew with high hopes of watching the Phils roll back into World SeriesVille tonight as I head to The Shack in Santa Monica (nominated the best Philly Bar in LA by me). Since I haven’t been able to report the games, I’ll give a debriefing: I went to game 1 at Dodger’s Stadium wearing my Phillies ‘Respect the Champs’ shirt. I was booed over and over again. I heard banter like “Respect what? Go back to Philly!?!” Now I didn’t take any of this to heart, because the fact is Dodgers fans should hate me, that’s the way it should be and I loved every minute of it. So douse me with peanuts and cracker jacks Dodger fans, I encourage it! I love it! Of course Game 2 errors and a walked in run that lead to a Phils Loss disappointed the Phillies-Fan heart, but a follow up 11-0 win at Citizen’s Bank patched that broken heart instanly. And I’ll never forget screaming my brains out while working my night job as J-Rol smashed in the winning run at the bottom of the 9th to take Game 4. I didn’t care who was around. It was a moment. One of those moments where you feel completely connected to your roots no matter how far away you may be. That’s the beauty of sports...in some strange way it keeps you connected.
So to any Phillies fans in LA, head on down to The Shack in Santa Monica and lets feel that connection has we watch Mr. Howard and our Phils head back to the defend the crown that is ours. AND PS: TJ Simmers, I read your article yesterday. You are still such a douchebag, thank you for being constistant -PBILA
