MLB Philadelphia Phillies Pull Out Win 5-4 Against First Place Atlanta Braves, July 5, 2013.
My cousin Marjorie (another die-hard Phillies Fan) and I decided to do a mental health break and attend a Phillies game. It was an unbelievable event as Howard took one deep when we were walking late into the Citizen’s Bank. Score was 5-0 in 5th. Then, the Braves started creeping back in the 7th as Lee was having a meltdown. 5-4, Oh no, as Marjorie and I started yelling to the field to our beloved Phillies. Papelbon ( the matador, For Whom the Bell Tolls) and Chooch came in the 9th and closed down the first place chop chop tomahawk, Atlanta Braves. ( I always despised that chant)
Praise the Lord for little things in life.
Hope still lies in the Phiilies as they have a long home stand before the All Star Break July 16, 2013 ( BTW, that day is my Birthday)
Excellent seats, great time. Then we headed to Xfinity Live for Chickie and Pete’s famous Crab Fries.
Below are some photos from the game. Everyone likes their picture taken. ( even the Mets fan sitting with the girl next to us. He was rooting for the Braves because he hates the Phils. But that was OK. )
All was well at the Ballpark last night. The Girls (women) didn’t have their children with them. We could yell, yell and yell some more. They tend to sublimate our limitless amount of energy.
