They barely made it into the playoffs, then got hot at the right time, and now they face a veritable baseball machine in the Astros. Rooting for the Astros is like watching Star Wars and rooting for Darth Vader.

On the other hand, I am also a part-time Texan. So if the 'Stros win, I will be going home to a winter of contented neighbors. I have decided to stay in PA for the series. I think it will be more interesting watching it here.

I went to quite a few Phillies games back in the 70s, with my family. It was an easier drive to Veteran’s Stadium then going to Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium.

I just can’t figure out what the Phanatic is. Or Gritty. :)

What about Blooper, the Braves mascot? What the heck is he supposed to be?

At least my beloved Mets have an easily recognized anthropomorphic baseball for a mascot!

The Phanatic is so ridiculous, he's good.
