They Still Have the Pennant
I’m sorry for the Rays, but the Phillies just played better baseball. There’s no shame in being American League champs.

Congratulations on your fine season – from worst in the A.L. to game 5 of the World Series – that’s something to remember.
The Phillies’ pitching took your big hitters virtually out of the game, and with the exception of what happened during The Deluge, Hamels bordered on unhittable.
When a team doesn’t score like they’re used to doing, guys start to press, and this is where experience is an asset – Charlie handled his team as he had all season, and didn’t panic when they left a record number of runners stranded – the lineup stayed the same, and the players remained focused.
Again, congrats on beating Chicago & Boston, and thanks for an exciting World Series.
