So as I wrote in a previous blog,  a huge hole in the Phillies post season run for me this year is experiencing it alone sans the ability to root, root, root for the home team. I have been reminded just how much of sports is that communal aspect of being with your peeps as the say. Luckily, with modern technology my peeps were with me in a constant stream of text messages letting me know what they think. What they think in general, and specifically what they think of me being at the best Phillies games of the year. Here is a sampling…(names are initialed to protect the intolerant!).
