That was a great series. Good pitching, good defense, and while it was bad offense, there were some clutch hits from Ryan Howard. That Pedro over Lincecum game was one of the most exciting regular season games in the past couple years. Watching Pedro mow down 9 Giants in a Phillies uniform was a treat I'd never thought I'd see in a million years.
Now that we (both fans and players) have the confidence that we can beat the Giants, we move forward to our goal of homefield advantage in the NL. Right now we stand 1 game behind the Dodgers and tied with Cardinals. We match up very evenly with both those squads and I think it's very important to our repeat chances to get it.
