Depressing

It's Curtains for the Phillies

WOW..the Gods really did it this time. Could you have imagined a MORE depressing way to see a game end. Ryan Howard making the last out (like last year) and seeing him crumpled on the ground while the Cardinals celebrate. It was a stunning sight seeing the folks in the stands stare blankly as if they could not believe it. What did it was ONE run in the last 17 innings as the offense went COLD again!
As Bob Ford said it:

There is little in baseball more depressing than watching the other team celebrate after the deciding game of a series, and nothing worse than having to watch it on your home field. That was the fate of the Phillies this season, though, as the Cardinals jumped into each others' arms while Ryan Howard, having twisted his ankle on the final groundout, lay writhing on the ground.

It was an ugly end, befitting a season of such promise that went unfulfilled.

Its been that kind of week in my world..Lets go...Flyers??
