A Date with Destiny!

My friends and dear Phillies fans tonight the Philadelphia Phillies are the best in the National League and are heading to the World Series. The curtain has come down on the season of LA now its time for the ultimate dance at the Fall Classic. The feeling over seems to be ongoing, seeing grown men cry and a city just explode with excitement when the Phillies clinched their spot in history. And it was extremely fitting to hear that Cole Hamels in the MVP of the series after pitching a great game and playoffs thus far. It wouldn’t be fair to point out the goofs and pros of the game so I decided to sum up the entire series goofs and pros.

Series Pros
Philadelphia Phillies
Manny Ramirez
Cole Hamels
Charlie Manuel

Series Goofs
LA Dodgers
Russell Martin
Rafael Furcal

Pros: The Philadelphia Phillies for just dominating the Dodgers and just playing every inning with great heart and true high spirits. And of course because the Philadelphia Phillies are the National League Champions are some of the reasons why they are pros of the series. Manny Ramirez seemed to be the only player who wanted to play and did play well for the Dodgers. It seems that the rest of the team just didn’t want the championship. Cole Hamels has pitched great the entire postseason, and has earned the MVP award of the series. Cole Hamels I am looking forward seeing in the World Series atmosphere. Of course a great team can’t be great without a great manager like Charlie Manuel. Charlie has been through a roller coaster of feelings and has done a lot for this city. I personally am overwhelmed with joy for Manuel because he led this team two years in a row to the postseason and now to the World Series.

Goofs: LA Dodgers seemed not to play well as a team, either it was their offense or defense, nothing seemed to go well. I guess it was luck that the Dodgers had in game 3 and in their series against the clubs. I personally hope they enjoy golf and good luck to them. Russell Martin is nothing, did nothing, and caused nothing for the Dodgers this series. He ran his mouth and didn’t follow it up with his bat or defense. Hate to be mean but Martin got the ass kicking that he needed. And of course Furcal who helped us in game 1 and game 5 with poor defense. Thank you Furcal for that half ass effort you go home and we move on.

Well now its time for the party to start but there is still just one more title in which we seek. The Phillies are the National League East Champions, and now the National League Champion. Many of us can only pray that the resume year for the Phillies has one more thing to add. Good Night and GO PHILLIES!
