For a sport that’s supposedly dying, it sure was lively this evening; at least from where I sit.
While getting some work done on the computer tonight, I listened to the Phillies game on the radio. For the majority of the game, it was a one-sided affair. Three first-inning runs and a lone marker for insurance had the Mets comfortably in control. However, the Phils broke out with five runs in the eighth and made the game suddenly theirs for the taking. In the ninth, they shut down New York with a 1-2-3 inning for a win which seemed improbable moments before.
I’ve always loved baseball. Tonight was the type of game that keeps me coming back for more.
