As the Tourney progresses, I find myself more and more torn from a rooting interest. Most of these teams were important to me at one time and they are all Phillies squads. The Phold redemption holds a special place in my marrow as a Philly fan, though I lived 2009...
Gm1 and Gm2 are carbon copy, inverse splits. 4-1 Phold Bunning over Lee, 4-1 2009 Happ over Bennett. Dick Allen and Greg Dobbs providing the pop.
Gm3 Martinez vs Short. It's a tight one with Jayson Werth powering the Phils to a 4-3 win.
Gm4 Blanton vs Culp. A costly Rollins mistake juxtaposed with solid relief and defense by the Phold. 5-1 Phold. We're even.
Gm5 Hamels vs Bunning. This is another Jim Bunning masterpiece with more power from Dick Allen. 4-0 Phold. Phils will face elimination.
Gm6 Bennett vs Happ, the rematch. Happ took the first one, can he deliver a Game 7 with Cliff Lee on the mound? Thanks to Chooch, yes! 5-1 Phils force Game 7 after Ruiz goes yard for 3 runs.
Gm7 Short vs Lee. Fully rested 2009 Cliff Lee in Game 7? This series is over, correct? Not so fast. A fully rested Christ Short is a thing to see as well. Lefty on Lefty duel to the end. 2-1... Phold!
Wow! I really thought Game 6 was the Series. 2009 leaves the Tourney with a record of 8 and 10.
The Phold fights on. They are scrappy. They've had Series of 7 games, 6 and 7. On to face the winner of the Best Phils Ever (2008) vs the Wheeze Kids (1983).
