Well, the Phillies first round playoff matchup is set to kick off this Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies are a good team, and to be honest, playing them brings back unhappy memories of the 2007 playoffs when they unceremoniously swept us from the first round in three games. The good news, however, is that this Phillies team is a very different team from that 2007 playoff bunch. This team has some serious postseason experience, with a World Series trophy to show for it.
Both the Colorado and Philadelphia stadiums are homerun friendly ballparks. Plus these two teams were number 1 & 2 in homeruns in the National League this season. That being said I am thinking that a few of these games could come down to whose slugger (Philadelphia-Ryan Howard, Colorado- Todd Helton) can do more damage.
Either way, how great does it feel to be able to watch Philadelphia playoff baseball for the third year in a row?
I could get used to this.

We were at Friday night game and again on Saturday. A real treat for Jay since he was in town. However, they were both bad games, but we had a lot of fun nonetheless.
