It Don't Come Easy

I'm not sure if the Phillies will get past the Colorado Rockies, who happened to be entering the playoffs on a hot streak, in the first round. But I do know this: It will go the full five games. On what do I base this prognostication? Because Game 5 would be next Tuesday (Oct. 13), in Philadelphia, which happens to be the same night four of us are going to the Bruce Springsteen concert. Even if the Phils play in the afternoon, it's going to be chaos down there.

Mr. Huskey I do hope you will have someone to fill in on October 14, because Gordy's hearing will be gone after the last scheduled act - Springstreen. I'm heading for the Phillies Game and enjoy professionals or at least they seem to be according to our kids.

No worries. The Rockies are more scared of us than we are of them. We take them in four at the most. Your good to go, Gordo. The parking lot will be yours. Break out the grill and I hope you hear 'Jungleland.'

I don't know about that. I'm seeing Rockies in seven. Sorry Phils fans. You will always have last year.

The series is only five games so Rockies in seven would be an impressive feat.

Last chance for predictions. Phils in five. Think positive.

It'll all come down to what happens today. If the Phils win, no way it goes more than five. Hinges on Hamels.

The Phillies are doing their thing and we are proud of them. Now,the Concert, Gordy you must admit traffic was nothing compared to what it could have been if the Phillies were in town. But, your man still can not sing.
