The Phillies won the National League pennant tonight, defeating the Dodgers in Game 5 for a 4-1 series victory and their first World Series visit since 1993.
I rip Philly sports and its fans an awful lot around here. But if you'll allow me to be honest, I'm thrilled about this Phils run, and I'll be rooting hard for them to win. The fans in this town have suffered enough and absolutely deserve a championship, and I for one certainly hope they get it.
