Congratulations, Phillies

The NLCS featured the two best teams in the National League this season, and I thought the Dodgers would utilize home field advantage this season for a more Dodger-friendly result than last year. But it wasn't to be.

Congratulations to the Phillies for battering the Dodger pitching staff, taking advantage of opportunities nearly every time they needed to, and for being the better team this series.

Good luck in the World Series. You earned it.

Hopefully not.

Hopefully the Dodgers will have the best record in the NL (again) and meet you in the 1st round and dispatch you there, only to take the NLCS from whoever advances.

Good season, and a phenomenal (35 runs in 5 games, WTF? I don’t think the Dodgers ever got pounded that hard in a 5 game stretch all season!) run. Good luck against America’s Team

Thanks Eric, for the kind words. While I looked forward to this series all year, once it was set I had no small amount of dread, so I am surprised at this result.

We’ll represent the Senior Circuit.
