This Is It! - Phillies Phate is in their the Phinal Games

These are kind of games you want to have. These are the games that turn young boys into fans for life and turn old men into young boys.

Baseball teams play 162 games with the hopes that many of them will be meaningful. The better you play, the more meaningful games you have.

The Phillies have played well enough for their last 6 games to be meaningful. They enter the last 6 game tied for the Wild Card lead with the San Diego Padres, who, by the way just lost one of their star players Milton Bradley when he injured himself in an argument with the ump. Believe it. It's true.

Fortunately for the Phillies these games are at home, where it will undoubtedly be a near packed house with a playoff atmosphere. I could sense the excitement on my drive home on 76 East, as there was more traffic than normal and plenty of Phillies red in the bumper to bumper to traffic.

So if you drove to the game from Warminster or Wilmington. Or your watching at home in Newtown or Old City, rest assured that these Phillies will give you a fight. They've scratched and clawed the entire year. They've put up numbers and brought down the house. And whether you're a rabid fan, or simply dressed like a rabbit, you have 6 more meaningful games.

So sit back, or sit on the edge of your seat. No matter how you watch it, if you're a Phillies fan, you can't ask for anything better.

Go Phils!
