I hope like hell they take out the Astros.
I do also. In fact, if the Phillies end up losing the series to Atlanta, I'll adopt the Twins (if they are still alive).
They had the most consecutive playoff losses of any team in North American sports history. 18, IIRC. That seems statistically impossible. To finally break that curse has them feeling confident. I love a good underdog story.

18 straight losses in baseball, is crazy. Law of averages. I mean, even the lowly Royals could take 2/3 from a team like the Braves in the regular season. it just happens. LolI do also. In fact, if the Phillies end up losing the series to Atlanta, I'll adopt the Twins (if they are still alive).

Ill take a Twins/Braves World Series. The Braves owe them from 1991, one of the better WS I’ve ever seen.
The '91 series was absolutely one of the best (if not the best).
I watched one of the games in the UNL student union (I was a student at the time).
Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com:
the Phillies are now 24-11 in the postseason at Citizens Bank Park
that .686 win pct currently stands as the best record in the postseason for any team in any park (min 20 games), ahead of:
Mets at Shea Stadium: .667, 26-13
Cardinals at Busch Stadium II: .660, 35-18
Crazy ending to Phillies/Braves game 2. all I can say is, wow.
Braves reeling in Game 3. This is the last place you want to be down, but there's a lot of baseball left and their offense is the most capable of putting up crooked numbers.
Phils are such a good team, and they have a great feel to them. They feel like a team from Philadelphia should feel.

Everything seems to be lining up for the Phillies. They have so many players who have been in these situations and are red hot. If they keep slugging like this, they will be going into the World Series with a fresh bullpen.
The stat that the top 5 teams in the regular season record-wise have won a combined 1 game amazes me.
I just think the kind of team you need to win the regular season is so different from the kind of team you need to win in the post season.
At this point in time I will cheer for anyone but the Astros!

The Braves were not coming in to the postseason playing very good baseball and their starting pitching was pretty banged up. I wish they would have put up more of a fight, but the Phillies beat them at their own game. The Dodgers being swept out by the DBacks was a complete shock that I don't think anyone saw coming.
I can't see myself cheering for the Phillies, mostly because I don't care for Harper, so I am pulling for the Rangers. The things I want to say about the Astros would result in me getting a vacation from the forum.
