LET'S GO, PHILLIES!

Ooh, I am SO excited for the Phillies to start their NLCS series games! The Phillies' starting pitcher tonight for game 1 of this series is the BILFiest BILF of them all--Cole Hamels, pitching superstar! Yummy!

I'm optimistic about this series with the Dodgers. Yes, they have Manny--and yes, he's damn good. (And they have Andre Ethier, too, who is not only talented, but hot...AND a foodie, apparently! But until this series is over and the Phillies have kicked the Dodgers' butts, I--as a loyal Phillies fan--am not allowing myself to admit that there are any BILFalicious guys wearing Dodger blue. So from now until, like, the end of next weekend, Ethier is a total troll to me, even though he's really not. Make sense?) The Phillies have home-field advantage in this series, and that is most definitely a good thing. The Phillies pitched well during the last series they played, with the Brewers. Burrell, Victorino, and Werth have all had hot bats (among, um, hot other things) during the postseason. If the Phillies can get Utley and Howard's hitting up to par--and do something about the bottom of the order, since Feliz and Ruiz weren't terribly productive in the NLDS--they will truly be a force to be reckoned with.

In a very crafty display of Phillies pride, I decorated a pumpkin with red glitter and pinstripes...behold!

Let's go, BILFtastic Phillies!!!

Thanks! :) You gonna make a BoSox one to celebrate your team being in the playoffs again? (By the way, good job to the Sox for beating the Rays in Game 1! Dice-K did a great job!)
