Phillies Season to a Close

Last night the Phillies season came to a close. They lost to the Houston Astros for the fourth time in their best of seven World Series. It was an amazing story that they got to the World Series at all and it was a fun ride watching the games. I didn't really expect them to go all the way and it was nice just having them experience the playoffs let alone getting to the series. 

I only watched a couple of games all season. I've not been a particular sports fan especially for professional sports teams. I do pay more attention to the post season. I was very surprised when the Phillies got into the playoffs this year as their season wasn't particularly good. Houston was the much better team and certainly expected to be in the World Series. In the National League one would have expected the Braves or the Mets each with 101 wins and the Dodgers with 111 wins to be in the series but not the 87-75 Phillies. Well, they peaked at the perfect time. 

They did win a couple of great games in this series including their 7-0 home run fest.
