October Snow in Central NJ

Well, instead of ticker tape falling from the windows down Broad Street in Philly today, we have snow falling over Central New Jersey on this bizarre October morning.Hopefully, at some point, this weather will move on out of the area so the Phils can score some runs in the-still-to-be-completed Game 5 and wrap up a World Series championship.

Video: Brett Myers’ epic NLDS Game 2 walk off C.C. Sabathia (pitches 7-9)

Here is video of Phillies starting pitcher Brett Myers’ epic, nine-pitch, two-out walk off Brewers ace C.C. Sabathia in the second inning of Game 2 of their NL Division Series on Oct. 2, 2008. The video, shot from the right-field, upper-deck stands, picks up at pitch number 7 of the at-bat. After Myers walked, Jimmy Rollins walked on four pitches to load the bases for Shane Victorino, who deposited a 1-2 pitch into the left field seats for a grand slam that put the Phillies up 5-1 en route to a 5-2 victory. I was at the game in Sect. 431 far down the left field line…and it was freakin’ awesome.
