How about the NL East?

I am, inexplicably, a Phillies fan. So obviously this has been a fun September. Anyone else got a dog in this hunt?

Well my Nationals are certainly helping you out Brud.

Everyone at work laughed back in April when I said watch out for the Rockies this year...and look at them now (I know it's not NL East but still....yay for Smoot!)

I am pulling for the Phillies in the race as well. I am also amazed at the rockies and their 11 straight wins to get within a game of the wildcard. The NL race is so good considering no spots are locked up yet and in the AL all the teams are set and after Boston's win tonight looks like the matchups are set.

Phils fan here. Lived in Alexandria VA from age 0-4, and here in the Philly area ever since. My dad raised me a Redskins fan, but with no baseball team in the DC area, he didn't influence my baseball loyalties. So I took to the home team. Plus the Phillie Phanatic made a strong impression on me when I was 6, he took my hat and planted a big fat Phanatic kiss on my head.

It's an exciting team, lots of offense. If Hamels can pitch like he did tonight, they could do serious damage in a series. They have the offense to get to pitchers like Smoltz (last night), and if they can roll Hamels out at you twice in one series, they can beat anybody in the NL.

Hard not to like Rollins, Utley, and Howard too; this team is nothing like the Eagles. And the fans are much different too.

Tough loss for the Rockies tonight though.

I'm pulling for the Cubs out of the NL I think

Not in the NL East, but in the AL east my Red Sox finally won the division with the win tonight and the loss of the Yankees.
Looks like the Phillies will win the division too with yet another loss by the Mets. That is getting quite comical.

BTW- My vote goes to Rollins for MVP.

Who ever thought my 4000th post would be about the KC Royals?

Phils = NL East champs.

Me = Boner.

By the way, for those of you watching the Eagles/Giants tonight - the parking lot for Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field are adjacent. I'd expect the Eagles crowd to be measurably drunker than normal. Which is to say, legally dead. The jails at the Linc will be full by the 8-minute mark.

EDIT: For some reason, I thought this game was in Philly. I stand by my drunk Philadelphian comments, though.

me = hate baseball. but the mets totally blew that.
