Phillies Phever

decided to get a Phillies sunday ticket plan this year. aside from the dismal start, they seem to be turning things around...but trying not to get too excited. history will most likely repeat itself and the phillies will start dropping games right after the all star break...and end up one game out of the playoffs.

seats are fairly decent left field, and provide a great view of the action. to make it more enjoyable, we're seated behind a crew a college-aged season ticket holders. they provide a different kind of comedy (in addition to charlie manuel's coaching decisions) in the form of heckling the visiting left fielder...and sometimes, deservedly so, our own pat burrel.

a day at the ballpark is always entertaining and provides opportunity to experience some age old traditions; ballpark hotdogs, overpriced beers, smell of roasted peanuts, and in the case of citizens bank park, a schmitter sandwich.

if the phillies can't at least remain at .500, i'm not sure if even the environment will be enough to get us down there on a summer sunday. we'll see.
