DIAMONDBACKS V. ROCKIES ... YEAH, I'M SURE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE FOLKS AT TURNER SPORTS WERE HOPING FOR: I'm disappointed right now watching the celebration at Coors Field, but I'm not angry or upset. The 2007 Philadelphia Phillies were an endearing, admirable and flawed club, one which overcame a 4-11 start and an unimaginable collection of injuries to capture the NL East title for the first time in 14 years, and make this city a true two-sport town again.
They let us down this week, but they did not let us down this season. So while tonight's a likely farewell to seeing Aaron Rowand in the red-and-white, this team was not a one-shot fluke. With Rollins, Howard (pay the man!), Utley and Hamels at the core, we'll be back in 2008.
As for the Cubs faithful among us, you have my sympathy.
