Philly is on the verge of winning it all. In Game four even their pitcher Joe Blanton (shown chugging home) had a home run. For you soccer fans out there, pitchers tend not to be very good hitters although no one is sure why.This is the moment every player imagines when he arrives at spring training in February.
This is the motivation he uses through a grueling six-month season.
"The goal is to play and win a World Series," lefthander Jamie Moyer said last night at Citizens Bank Park, where the Phillies mashed four home runs to beat the Tampa Bay Rays, 10-2, in Game 4. "And now we're one win away from that. Talk about motivation."
The Phillies have a lead of three games to one in the best-of-seven series, with Cole Hamels on the mound tonight for Game 5. It couldn't set up any better, and Philadelphia knows it. The city is abuzz as the Phillies are on the cusp of winning their first World Series championship since 1980, and just their second in the franchise's 126 seasons.
One more win and the city will celebrate its first major sports championship since the 76ers won the NBA title in 1983.
