The announced attendance is 45,991. That makes it the largest crowd in CBP history and every single one of them booed Jose Mesa.
It seems very likely that the Phillies will be down in the series 2-0 heading into Saturday’s Game 3. Jamie Moyer will take the ball at Coors in attempt to keep the series alive.
Meanwhile, the Phils began strolling down the comeback trail when Ryan Howard hit a BOMB into the left-center field seats to make it 10-4.
Too bad it only counted as one run.
Perhaps a good story will be talking to some folks about that 1982 Milwaukee Brewers’ club that overcame a 2-0 deficit in the ALCS to beat the California Angels in three straight to go to the World Series. Here’s an interesting tidbit on the ’82 Brewers – they clinched the AL East on the last day of the season, won the ALCS in the fifth and deciding game, and went to the seventh game of the World Series.
They played everything the whole way out.
Maybe that’s how it will work out for the Phillies.
OK…I’m going to go start writing some stuff now. I’ll check back if something wild, wacky and/or interesting occurs.
