Phightin Phills advance to NLCS!

For the 3rd consecutive season, the Philadelphia Phillies advanced to the NLCS last week. The Phillies swept the underdog Reds in 3 games, and actually only allowed 11 hits the whole entire series! That is the least amount of hits in a playoff series in over a decade. Needless to say, the Phillies pitching has been on-point. Fueled by the ace Roy Halladay's no hitter, the rest of the pitching staff followed through strong and performed nearly as well as Roy, and led the Phills to the series sweep. Starting Saturday Oct.16th, the Phillies will take on Tim Lincecum and the San Fransisco Giants. The two teams match-up pretty well because of the dominant pitching staff of both teams. However, the Phillies have a much more potent offense that should lead them to a series victory. The city of  Philadelphia awaits Saturday night to see if Roy Halladay can outpitch Tim Lincecum in what should be a very low-scoring but great game of baseball.
