Well as a die-hard Met fan, I never had any animosity towards Philly. Just wanted to say congrats. Your team played exceptional, and with a fire the Met's couldn't seem to grasp. Your team definaly wanted it more than we did. Good luck in the postseason. We will see you next year.

YESSSS!!!!!!! As a 26 year old, I am feeling very 12 again right now!!!!

Amazing. I'll be at a playoff game this week. AMAZING.
Posted by: John | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:50 PM
AMAZING!!! Thanks to Jason for having this site for all of us to post on. It's been an amazing year and I feel like the Phillies are just getting started now. Playoff baseball - it's great to be back!

Jason: great forum.
Commentors: For everyone that stuck it out, man what a reward.

Posted by: t | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:51 PM
Great graphic for this post, too.
You've outdone yourself again!
Posted by: slackerjoe | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:51 PM
I'm gonna start talking playoffs... yeah, that's right, playoffs.
Starters:
Hamels
Kendrick
Lohse
Moyer
Bullpen:
Romero
Gordon
Myers
Isn't it amazing that we likely haven't been as positive about and confident in our pitching staff all year long. Today is probably the peak of our confidence, right?
Here are our starters' last start:
Lohse: 7 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
Kendrick: 6 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
Hamels: 8 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 13 K
Moyer: 5.1 IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6K
That's 25.1 IP, 20 H, 5 ER, 2 BB, 26 K
And our best bullpen pitchers this month? Since Sept. 6th and before today:
Myers: 14.2 IP, 21 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 13 K
Gordon: 13 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 13 K
Romero: 12.1 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
That's 40 IP, 33 H, 5 ER, 8 BB, 34 K
We're ready for the playoffs.

2007/09/memo_to_me.html
emo to me: Was I ever wrong about the NL East and the Mets and the Phighting Phils.
In August I wrapped up the NL East in a nice little package for the Mets and said the race was unofficially over. I wrote these words:
Memo to Jimmy Rollins: The Best Team Won.
Here we are three days to go in the regular season and the race is just beginning.
The Phillies have overcome numerous injuries and no matter what happens these final three days, they have shown the hearts of champions and for that they should be congratulated.
The Mets have collapsed – perhaps the greaTest collapse in baseball history considering the teams that they’ve lost to down the stretch, and if you are going to be wrong, I can live with the fact that it took a colossal collapse to be wrong – while the Phillies have shown incredible heart and fortitude, led by Jimmy Rollins.
It was Rollins who said the Phils were the team to beat in the NL East over the winter. He was right. I was wrong. I’ve always loved Rollins approach to the game – he is Philadelphia’s Derek Jeter – and he is putting up MVP numbers.
To me, Rollins is the NL MVP. His defense is remarkable and his hitting is Captain Clutch. And his words fired up his teammates. He led by example in so many ways.
The Phillies have once again shown why baseball is the greatest game. It’s not over til it’s over. Once again that lesson was driven home – to me and everyone else in New York and especially to those in the Mets clubhouse.
Over the winter, it turns out, the Phillies were the team to beat in the NL East.
And with three days left in the season, they are still the team to beat in the NL East. Rollins was right. I was wrong. The Phillies are what being a winning team is all about.
Posted by: Sad Panda | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:56 PM
wow can't believe Rollins tripled in the last game and they clinched the East. Not sure haven't looked at the standings but a SD loss and a COL win puts them in a playoff? And probably burns Peavy from the game 1?
Agreed Rockies are hot and they have some pitching but we are built to play games in Coors and CBP, not that they aren't.
Posted by: thrillhouse26 | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:56 PM
I have been reading this site all year long and haven't posted really since today but I can't believe what I just saw!
Posted by: bornagaincrisco | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:57 PM
The Phillies have to be the hottest team going ito the playoffs right now...like the 03 Marlins, the 2005 White Sox and the Cards last year. NOBODY WANTS TO PLAY THE PHILLIES!
Posted by: lekh tiztayen | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:57 PM
I'll take either the Padres or Rockies in the 5 game series. With Hamels starting 2 games, I LOVE our chances.
Posted by: slackerjoe | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 04:59 PM
After Jimmy speaking up (and coming through time and time again), Victorino's injured calf, Chase's injured hand, Ryan's time on the DL, Pat's struggles of the first half, the fiasco that was 3rd base, the bullpen blowing countless games, questionable managerial decisions, 2 starting pitchers out for the season, moving our supposed #1 starter to the bullpen, Cole's injury, Eaton's inconsistency, Flash's injury, Myers' shoulder, Moyer's up-and-down season, and the mediocre value village:
WE ARE THE NL EAST CHAMPIONS!
i am literally shaking. this is INCREDIBLE!!
Posted by: diggitydave | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:00 PM
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best offense in the National League! What a crazy season!
I love the confidence going into the playoffs, too. But I will have more about that later on.
You all who post here, defending your point of view, sticking with it all season long, are great, great phans. You represent Philadelphia incredibly well.
Posted by: Mike H. | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:01 PM
Best. Post. Ever.
How awesome was this?
Nice job, Jason!
Posted by: Tom Durso | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:02 PM
I gave up after the 8 run collapse to ATL. Thanks Phils for proving me wrong! This is an truly an amazing run.
Posted by: BGNJason | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:03 PM
Nothing like seeing this:
y - Philadelphia
New York
Atlanta
Washington
Florida

Bring on the Wild Card.
Posted by: fletch | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:04 PM
Where are all those Mets trolls?
I could have sworn we were supposed to get our hopes up, only to have them crash down around us so we can wallow in our own self-pity.
Posted by: Willard Preacher | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:05 PM
I like the Phillies chances against the Padres, their offense is weak (Bradley is out for the playoffs, right?) and I feel like our lineup can crack most any rotation in a few game series.
Posted by: kylej | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:06 PM
I love this team! My daughter has never seen them not make the playoffs - hopefully we can continue that for at least a couple of years!
Posted by: Verdeforce | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:06 PM
Another great post J. Awesome graphic. Gonna print and hang it now.
Posted by: BloodStripes | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:08 PM
watching celebration on phillies.com, just awesome, un frikkin believable
Posted by: Cacks | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:09 PM
If anyone has on the CW, watch the celebration. It's beautiful.
Myers went into the stands and is celebrating with fans.
One guy, I couldn't tell who, chugged a beer and slammed it on the ground a'la "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
This is wonderful!
Posted by: Sad Panda | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:09 PM
Great graphic Jason!
Congrats to the Phils, Manuel, hell even that fraud Gillick (and a special side thank you to Ed Wade!)
Also congrats to longterm posters (well, two years anyway) like RSB, Lake Fred, Tray, ae, Alby, Carson, and the rest of the expanding gang*
And a thank you to Jason for providing us the place to bitch, moan, complain, and, ultimately, celebrate!!!
*I would also congratulate the "poster" know as "clout" but I'm pretty sure that those posts are just automated responses that spit out variations of the theme "I am right, you are wrong."
Posted by: kdon | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:09 PM
To the cool mets fans who have been gracious. Thanks and well done. To the smack talking ones. Kiss my red and white ass!
Posted by: BloodStripes | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:10 PM
Dear Dontrell Willis,
Have my babies.
Love,
Phillies Fan
Posted by: James Wilkinson | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:12 PM
Yeah, this CW coverage has been great.
Posted by: The Theory | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:13 PM
Moyer--I may doubt his stuff, but today he was absolute clutch. He's earned a spot in Philadelphia's heart like Thome did.
Posted by: Sad Panda | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:13 PM
From a Mets fan to you,
Congrats guys.
Way to play through big injuries and take the East.
I won't be rooting for you, but Congrats.
Posted by: Andrew V. | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:13 PM
this is one of the greatest days of my life. there were emotions i felt as a ten year old boy in 1993 that i didn't feel until wily mo pena swung and missed. thank you phils for letting me feel this way again.
Posted by: elliott | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:13 PM
we wouldn't be Phillies fans if we couldn't snipe at each other after clinching the playoffs, eh kdon? ;)

Posted by: Malcolm | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:14 PM
watching moyer choke up...love this team! love how he came thru for the phillies and glavine couldn't for the mutts
Posted by: Cacks | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:15 PM
did Gillick just call Manuel "Charles" on the radio a second ago? ah ha ha
Posted by: ae | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:16 PM
Now let's go Rockies, make the Padres play another game, and waste another Peavy start.
That way we only get to see Peavy on game 3.
Posted by: 75 | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:16 PM
hey guys - check this web site for the playoffs. tell me what's wrong with it...

Posted by: diggitydave | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:17 PM
I curious to see how many (and which) arms the Phils carry on their playoff roster. Wouldn't be surprised to see Eaton and Alfonseca left off.
Posted by: AFish | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:19 PM
so.......who's on the postseason roster?
Posted by: bathtubhippo | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:19 PM
Mesa's got the ground crew's watering hose! Haha!!!!
Posted by: Sad Panda | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:19 PM
Make that Alfonseca!
Posted by: Sad Panda | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:19 PM
this is amazing. as a displaced phillies fan who watched all the games on MLB TV in my apartment in NYC all season, I loved reading beerleaguer everyday and during every game. What a season. Go Phils! I'm going to game one, that being said, any other NYC beerleaguers out there who want to go to a bar to watch the Phils in the post season. I know its not quite up to the same standards, but I keep hearing Al Michaels, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" and the "I don't believe what I just saw" call after Gibson hit the PR HR in 1988. Go Phils!!!
Posted by: adam | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:20 PM
Anybody see Jamie Moyer a few minutes ago? I truly think he was about to cry...this obviously means a whole lot to him. Good for him...good for the Phils...good for us.
What a great day!
Posted by: Sam Fan | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:21 PM
joe, and all the other boston fans out there:
who wants to go to a bar in boston/allston/wherever on wednesday for game one??
Posted by: diggitydave | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:22 PM
So anyone heard anything about tickets?
Posted by: Tom | Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 05:22 PM
oh and this just in:
Baseball Prospectus has just listed the phillies with a 100% chance to make the playoffs.
