Somehow, it still hasnt hit me. The Phillies are the 2007 N.L East champs. There is just something about this team that I just kept believing in even when things got ugly. We talked on the radio and the pitching (or lack there-of) just kept coming up. However, there was a time on the air that I said...if they can get Gordon, Romero and Myers all 100% and in their roles at the same time, they had something there.
Keep in mind Madsen has been gone for awhile too, with him in the 6th, Romero in the 7th, a healthy Gordon in the 8th an Myers in the 9th to close, thats not that bad. Think about it, At different points this season the team that won the division with 89 wins was missing the current MVP Ryan Howard, the possible MVP (if he didnt get hurt) Chase Utley, Brett Myers, Tom Gordon, Shane Victorino, Fredy Garcia, Jon Leiber, Ryan Masdsen...and these are just the names you recognize. The main thig with this team that I notcied was, they never used the injuries as an excuse and I have to credit Charlie Manuel for that.
Enjoy the ride Phillies fans, it might be awhile before you have the chance to see the Phillies in the post-season again.
