What an exciting win for the Phillies last night:
(Original video was pulled; this one has better music):
If I were a born-and-bred Phillies fan, right now I'd be worried that they're going to win Game 5 and the series on Wednesday, at which point they'll have a six-day layoff before the start of the World Series, allowing them to lose all of their momentum and then get crushed by the Yankees. But I'm not, so I won't think that.
At any rate, Sunday, Nov. 1- Eagles-Giants at 1, Vikings-Packers at 4:15, World Series Game 4 at 8- has the potential to be an all-time great sports day. A lot of those, lately.

If they have a long time to rest and win, they were "well-rested."
If they have a long time to rest and lose, they were "rusty."
If they have no rest and win, they "had momentum."
If they have no rest and lose, they were "running on fumes."
This way, there's a convenient reason why any team wins or loses!
