GO, PHILLIES!!!! ⚾️⚾️⚾️

[Scottie Mom]

Since my beloved Dodgers didn’t make it, I’m pulling for the Phillies.

1. Not pulling for the little brother who finally whooped your butt

After decades of trying?

6. I believe my post said I was pulling for the Phillies.

I have always liked them. Is there some reason for the nasty reply?

[FBaggins]

7. No nastiness intended

You must have missed how the series was being reported. The Padres were the "little brother" who always loses in the end.

Everyone (including this ~50 year Padres fan) expected big brother to dominate yet again.

It just seems preferable that if your team is unexpectedly knocked out, you would prefer the team who did so to go all the way, so it's still plausible that you were the second best team.

8. I am hearing impaired and usually watch games without sound or use closed caption.

So, yeah, I did miss the "little brother" comment. Took it that you were downing me for liking the Phillies over San Diego.

Thanks for the clarification. I did mistake how you meant your post since I did not hear the commentary about San Diego being the "little brother." All is good...

2. Great game so far Phillies got the long ball

[Scottie Mom]

5. Truly one of the best games I have watched.

I have it on DVR and re-watched this morning.

3. "That's why they play the games"

It's a great quote/truism/whatever.

Many pundits had Philadelphia falling in the wildcard round.

4. Credit to Rob Thomson

for turning around that juggernaut of a mindset of the players. We have all the "pieces" (although getting a good closer has been a chore but has been improved), that didn't seem to be in sync. They were "players on a team" but not "playing as a team".

[Scottie Mom]

9. YES...YES...YES!!!!!!! Phillies are going to the Series!!!!!

First time in 14 years!!!!!

10. RED OCTOBER PHIGHTENS

[ChazII]

11. I love your Red October

poster. Go Phillies!

[BumRushDaShow]

12. The Phillies actually tweeted that out

They sortof started that for the post-season and I really think that "branding" helped to rally the team itself to go that extra mile! And of course the fans loved it.
