the phillies are in town



More baseball, can you believe it?

But here's the deal... The Philadelphia Phillies are in town to play the Twins the next three nights, and the Phillies, being a National League team, only come to Minnesota every few years (the Twins are in the American League), so we native South Jerseyans, most of whom are eternally loyal to the Phillies, need to take advantage of the opportunities.

I'm going to at least two of three games (wearing Phillies gear, of course), tonight with my sister Joan and my nephew-in-law Ryan and tomorrow night with James.

Of course, the games themselves won't matter.  Both the Twins and the Phillies are having a bad year, both in last place in their respective divisions.
