Talking Baseball

One thing about living in Denmark is that there aren't that many baseball fans. Well, let's just say that there aren't ANY baseball fans. I've been getting my fix by watching video highlights on mlb.com but there's no talk about the game at work. All this time, the Phillies have been creeping their way up the standings until yesterday when they made it to

first place!

Tied with the slumping Mets! It remains to be seen whether a team without pitching can win, but the big bats have carried them this far, and with three games left anything is possible. It would be a nice end to the season if the team that has lost over 10,000 games in its history could pull off what a month ago seemed nearly impossible. Until then, I'll be waking up early to catch the scores and highlights and going to bed wondering what will transpire on the diamond while I sleep.
