It pains me to watch what’s developing here in these play-offs.

keylargo, have you ever been on Phillies.com blogs? If so, I think I may have chatted with you on that page before.

Thought I’d join the party with the Phillies clinging to life.

Yankess yesterday and if Phils lose today – all hell is going to break loose here soon.

And it’s going to be an enormous “Bowl of Sad” for ESPN (and Mixxo).”

I so like that “Bowl of Sad” for ESPN concept!!! :)

Moe/MlBravesFan – Missouri just went up 36-21 with 6:21 left – I always root for BCS chaos – the team I care about plays in a real division that understands playoffs (and we beat #2 today)…

Dude, first Mitchell comes on the blog when everybody’s rejoicing that the Yankees lost to offer some pessimism. Now the Phillies are a couple outs from being ousted, and Robert’s griping? Do these guys get together and make up shifts?

Moe – of course, Oklahoma ran the ensuing kickoff back 77 yards and then scored to cut the lead to 9…

I was just thinking that Soph. At least Giants fans have a little bit of breathing room with a 1 run and 1 game lead. I’d hate to be a Philly fan right now.

Well…I’d hate to be a Philly fan any time, but especially now.

Snotboogie, they are always in class. The team sends an attendance taker to stand outside the room to keep track. They don’t want any eligibility issues. Whenever one of them is worried about an assignment, I hear from someone in the athletic department to clarify the assignment.

It’s funny the fine line between winning and losing in baseball. With just one swing, Howard could have easily changed the outcome of the game/series

For all those that complain that the Braves only won 1 world series. Please look at the Giants and Rangers. No one had those teams picked to win. In the play offs and World Series anything can happen and any team can win.
The Phillies can now know what the Braves felt like in ‘96.
