Holy crap, I am so high from the Phillies amazing playoff run right now (though it might be the coffee). I haven’t been this baseball crazy since I was 12 and I was growing up in the Bay Area and going bananas for the Giants awesome playoff run that got them to play the A’s in the “Earthquake” World Series in 1989.

Jason Stark’s pride-inducing post-game write up starts off:

The magic of October is that you can’t script it, you can’t predict it, you can’t even explain it.

So who wrote this script? Who predicted this finish? Who can explain the unbelievable chain of events that have led the Phillies to the brink of their first World Series journey in 15 years?

My love of baseball has been fully revived. If I weren’t so damn broke, I’d snap this up in a hot minute:
