Braves 9-8 Final
This game was the epitome of what it is to be a Phillies fan.
We have the Joe Carter Game 6 of the 1993 World Series homerun.
We have the 1964 collapse.
We have the Craig Biggio homerun off of Wagner.
And now we have this.
Ah, well. It was fun while it lasted.
To the relivers’ credit, a lot of those hits were flukey bloops. The Braves hit three 7′s. They rubbed the rabbit’s foot. So it goes. =/
it’s not over…it’s on life support baby!
