I am happy for Jimmie.
Sad for myself, since this is the inevitable end of the era.
It's been good to be a Phillies fan recently. We've seen the highs and lows and some all-time great Phillies.
We will be back, and look back at this core with fondness.
I've loved it, hated it and been drained with emotion following every game.
It is , after all , the greatest game.
I started rooting for my beloved Phillies in 1972. I'm not changing now, even though they may not see the top of the standings for awhile
Go win another title Jimmie!
