That game was a blast for this long time Phillie fan too, Steve!
I thought he made a mistake with the high fastball to Ross in the 8th, but it stayed in and "Oddball " stayed with it .
Then when Bryant went deep with two outs in the 9th, I really thought it was going to hit the ivy. Oddball once again made our hearts drop to our shoes, but he stayed with that one too and made the catch!
Cole has been so great to watch, I really don't want to envision him in another uniform but it's probably best. I hate seeing Utley in this situation too, my favorite Phillie in a quarter century (since Michael Jack
)
This game reminded me of the Phillie Run from 06 to 10. While I'm sad that it's over, I know that teams tend to have periods near the bottom more than they have periods at the top
Go Phillies!
