This was really our last game of the season

(Unless we actually win the lottery to buy World Series tickets. Found out today that we didn't win the right to buy for the NLCS.)

It was a good game despite the 5-4 loss to the Rockies, which snapped the Phillies eight-game home playoff winning streak.

It was a very unfamiliar feeling. Other than the 6th inning, when Ryan Howard and Co. (pictured here) scored three runs, the Phillies offense couldn't catch up with the Rockies pitching.

I never heard such a drastic switch between the cheers before the last pitch and the silence that followed.

On the way home, we stopped and enjoyed an Oktoberfest with our friends at the Mount Laurel Wyndam, the area's finest, and freshly remodeled, lodging establishment.

I'll have my usual detailed report tomorrow on the view from the stands, but it's time to be a Red Sox fan and watch their first game against the Angels right now. I have good vibes.
