For Halloween this year and with the Phillies playing in game 3 of the World Series, I thought it would be appropriate to carve a pumpkin that meant something. While watching the game, we’ll have this pumpkin lit up and next to the TV to give the Phillies that little bit of mojo and propel them to a 2-1 series lead over the Yankees tonight. Go Phillies!!!

Let me know what you think of this and leave me a comment below!

For the second straight year the Philadelphia Phillies are going against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series for the right to go to the World Series. Last year the Phillies beat the Dodgers in 5 games to advance, but this year the Dodgers are a better team, but then again so are the Phillies. I think the Dodgers will give the Phillies a better run this year, but my pick is Philly in 6 games, especially if Hamels pitches the way we know he can. With Lee pitching great and the offense ticking along the way it is, if the Phillies get a few strong outings from the starting pitchers and have the bullpen come through in the clutch, the Phillies will advance.

I’ll admit the Dodgers scare me a little; they have a good offense that can pack on the runs with good pitching too. The Phillies pitching will have to be better than it was against the Rockies for them to advance. The same goes for LA however. If their pitchers don’t pitch well, the Phillies will jump all over them and that’s what I’m hoping for.

Game time is 8:07 on Thursday! Go Phillies!
