After 3 straight Yankee wins that made it tough to even want to press the keys of this laptop or even speak about in public; Our boys in Red decided to make things interesting. Although the mighty Phils brought the heat and seemed to be smashing the ball once again; watching the end of Game 5 was without a doubt not good for my health. The Yankees are fighters. The Phils have to find the magic they had in Game 1, they proved they can come into Yankee Stadium and bring it to a dead silence. Game 2 could have fallen right into our favor too. Despite taking the loss, Martinez still brought the heat and I have a feeling he’ll be the right man for tonight’s mission, which is simply: DON’T LOSE! There’s no doubt that we need one more element, especially since they’ll be pitching around Utley hoping he won’t break Jackson’s record. We need Mr. Howard to bring Sexy Back to his swing. Our boy needs to find his groove again. If the Big Bear Howard gets the food he’s looking for, if he finally relaxes and finds that hit to satisfy his hunger, then The Figthing Phils will find themselves pouring the champagne once again. It’s not going to be an easy task, but if our boys are up for the fight, then I believe they can do it. We’re behind you boys and we love you, so what do you say about going out there and disappointing a few million New Yorkers tonight!?
I kept thinking about last year, being way out here in LA during the playoffs/world series excitement. I kept think of Ryan’s slump. I kept wondering what I could do to show my support, to send my luck, my encouragement, my love for a team that has brought our city of Philadelphia together in so many ways. Well the only thing I could think of was to put my money were my mouth is and bring my ass home to good old Glenolden! So here I am, typing on just a few hours sleep after a long flight from LaLa Land, ready, excited and almost tearful to be able to be able to watch the game with the biggest Phillies Fan that I know. My Dad. Dad and I will be heading to the one and only Red Lantern tonight, so if you’re in Delco, come join us! So Phils, I’m not asking ya to win just because I came 3,000 miles to be in my hometown to watch Game 6 & 7. I’m not asking ya to win because I’d be in town for the parade I missed last year due to being stuck in LA with a broken heart. I’m asking ya to win, so I can feel that electricity again, that spark I felt all the way out in Los Angeles. That feeling of watching the people I love filled with pure joy. I’m asking you to win for my people, the people of Philadelphia. Unite this city boys, let me feel the electricity right here in the town that made me the PhillyBoyinLA.
