That’s the Phils Magic Number:
One.
Colorado leads the wild-card hunt by two games. See you in the pennant race, John!
Dan
Dano, went to the game last night, Had to entertain some business people but what a game! Especially when the Brew Crew tied it up with a 3 run homer in the top of the Ninth. We won in the bottom of the 11th with a 2 run pinch hit HR.
Exciting times this wild card race! The Rockies are coming on right now and must get the the big screen! We (Pam and I) have the MLB package, so we are keeping tabs on the Phillies and the Dodgers. We expect to play the Phillies if we do get in.
Then let the Rhetoric fly!! Your beagle versus my beagle! Let the better Beagle team win! 
John Q.
Congrats on winning the NL East! Well Done!
John Q.
Thanks John! Bailey’s got a fiver on the Phils vs. the Rockies (that’s a front paw, vs. the rear paw). Bring it on!
Dan
Say it, and it shall be so! Only this year, we are expecting a different outcome than two years ago… 
Bailey and his friend are filled with anticipation…
Dan
Bailey is frothing at the mouth!!! My 11 year old female is a “Cougar” for the young ones!
It looks like the Rhetoric will be flying between you and I this week! Phillies are a lot stronger then two years ago and we did not play well against you this year in the regular season.
Out here we are optimistic about our chances, As long as half your team will take the week off! Since there is no chance of that happening, we will just hope we make as few errors as possible and keep the HR total down with your sluggars!
good luck!
John Q.
Dano, Ouch! First game not good!
Can I say that we have never played in wind before…sigh, maybe game two will be better for the Rockies. 
John Q.
Wait, it ain’t over… The Rox have one more out!
Baseball is a game of statistics and percentages, I was a little premature on our game one demise but accurate…
Will it be windy tomorrow? It was only windy when we did not need it to be windy…ran out of excuses.
Hopefull in the High Mountains
John Q.
Uh-oh. We’re down a run in the first!
Blow, wind, blow!
Ahh Nice game! Close at the end… A little bit of Snow flurries today, temps around 33-35. Could be cold the next few days.
We will see what game 3 brings.
John Q
Yeah… Nice game.
Dan
Dan, You must have been a great Little League Player!!! 
I can just see you now punching all the kids in the belly after a T-Ball event in the “Good Game, Good Game” line.
I laugh out loud when I squinted to see your comments!!
At least we can have fun at this till this battle is over. 
John Q.
Dan, Snowy and freezing temperatures today! Weather should be better on Sunday thru Weds with temps in the mid 50’s.
till then…
John Q.
What, no baseball tonight?! And Bailey was on the edge of his seat. Wait, make that the edge of the sofa. Wait, his eyes are closed…
Dan
Sorry about the cold and snow, but at least I spent all day working on the floor boards in the 59. Almost done with the drives side. final fit tomorrow.
John Q.
After tonight’s game, John, you may have extra time to work on the passenger side as well!
Bailey can hardly contain himself in anticipation… At any rate, this one’s coming back to Philly.
Dan
I agree that it is going back to Philly Land, maybe after this afternoon, I will have a lot more time to spend on the car. Hopefuly not. If we win tonight, chances are slim we can take another one from you in your Home stadium. But stranger things have happened. 
I just hope my garage warms up a bit, or I will have to buy a propane heater!
Bailey is sure active…? Check his pulse every now and then. Maybe a Rockies Win will pep him up a bit! Or maybe another picture of Allie should get him hyped up! Now if I just had a picture of Allie in a Active Hunting mode…
Good luck Today!
John Q.
OMG! I saw this game slip, slidin’ away… What a formidable opponent in the Colorado Rockies, how evenly matched – it could have gone either way. The only thing I can say, is that the Rockies have helped us prepare for the LA Dodgers by showing us how good our opposition can be.
Congrats to us both – and we’ll see you next year!
Dan
