Phillies playoffs, etc.

So I was lucky enough to get to go to the Phillies/Rockies NLDS Game 1 last week (thanks, Mom, for giving me your ticket!).  I took a bajillion pictures...you can check 'em out by clicking here.

Game 1 was a seriously awesome game.  I'd never seen Cliff Lee pitch in person before, and this was a hell of a first time to see him pitch!  He pitched quite well--a gem of a complete game, in which he got one hit (maybe more--I'm not sure!) and stole a base.  And even though his face was covered in scruff *sigh*, he still looked smokin' hot.

My seats were right behind Jayson Werth, who was most certainly nice to look at.  I brought my red cowbell out for its maiden ballpark voyage, haha.  And I rang it like freakin' crazy.  Hey, I only get to go to one playoff game this year, so I've gotta live it up, right?  I also brought a red-and-white pom-pom from college (no, i wasn't a cheerleader--they had handed out the pom-poms at one of the college football games, and my school's colors were red and white, so I've turned it into a Phillies pom-pom now!), rally towels to wave around, and my very healthy vocal abilities...I may be just a little thing, but I can make a LOT of nosie when I'm yelling and shireking at or about BILFalicious ballplayers!  (Thanks, Dad, for not kicking my ass for being completely loud and retarded, haha.)

The Phillies won 5-1 in their first NLDS game.  After losing their next game to the Rockies and then winning last night's late and exhausting game, the series is now 2-1 Phillies.  I'm hoping they can win a third game tonight so that they have a little time to rest before meeting the Dodgers in the NLCS...

Let's go, Phillies!  (clap, clap, clap-clap-clap)
