The Phillies ended an 11-year playoff drought this week. And it may be just the start of something big for the local 9.
For the first time in 11 years -- a lifetime for some people, including my 5th grade son -- the Phillies are BACK in the postseason.Hanging on every pitch.Getting in is definitely reason enough to pop that champagne.
Now they face a three-game series in St. Louis. and they have to win that to give our hometown fans a chance to experience real Postseason baseball.The new format provides more teams a chance to experience the playoffs. But, in my opinion, it lessens the meaning a bit.That said, here's where I think this is a huge deal.
If anything, getting a taste of October baseball, which many of them have never experienced, will be exactly what they need to go even farther next year.And listen, the whole point of this extra round is to give more teams a chance and anything can happen in a 3-game series, right?But surely, it's just the beginning... for this squad and in the years to come.
