This is a Phils town tonight
I left Citizens Bank Park in the middle of the eighth inning, Phillies trailing the Mets by two runs, because I felt the need to be at thr Linc at least two hours before kickoff.
For an Eagles preseason game that is almost utterly meaningless.
As everybody now know, the Phitins staged a comeback to sweep the Metropolitans in a four-game series. Pat Burrell, Jayson Werth, Tadahito Iguchi and Chase Utley were the late-inning heroes. I could hear the cheers rocking the stadium as I walked away, reminding me of the time when I was 12 and my Phillies-crazy grandmother was so angry because we walked out early and missed a game-winning grand slam by Darren Daulton.
Anyway, nothing could possibly heppen in tonight's Eagles game that would remotely approach the importance of any play the Phillies ballgirls made this afternoon. But, hey, it's football. So let's enjoy it, and hope that none of our late-round fantasy sleeper picks get hurt.
