Well, we got lucky. The Phillies continue on.
I'm worried about the offense. Burrell finally came out of his slump on Sunday. And normally, I'd think he's going to go on a hot streak (being an incredibly streaky player), but with 3 days off, it would take a miracle for Burrell to "continue" a hot streak. In fact, I think any realist would have to describe any success Burrell might have on Thursday and Friday as beginning a new hot streak, not continuing his existing one.
And with the way Chase and Howard have performed so far this off-season, I'm not exactly sanguine about our performance against the Blue.
Let's just say that as much as I love Victorino and Werth (both spent some time on my fantasy baseball team this year), I can't imagine that they're going to be able to carry us to a parade down Broad Street.
And that's what I want.
In addition, I really disliked all of the media coverage today. It was as if the Phillies had done something. They didn't. They beat the Brewers in the first stage of the playoffs.
I care about a World Series WIN, not just an appearance. So, let's quit acting as if we've done something and get back to work.
