Just a few hours now till my Underdog Fightin' Phils try to win their 2nd World Series in over a hundred years! I'm all decked out in Phillies Red, my NL Championship shirt and hat on, kitchen stocked with appropriate junk food (e.g. Tastykakes) (IF ONLY I COULD GET A DECENT CHEESESTEAK UP HERE!), ear plugs ready for Arlene (She's NOT supporting me in PhillyMania - the traitor is rooting for Tampa Bay), and TV already set to FOXHD.

Of course, I timed things really poorly - made plans for tonight & tomorrow that may cost me seeing the first & possibly second inning, and then on Saturday I'll likely miss the whole game. But I'd never have thought the Phils would be playing in the WS.

MY prediction: Phils in 5, Jayson Werth the hero.
