Not to jinx anything, but if the Phillies win tonight, the parade will be Wednesday. The route will begin at 20th and Market in Center City, proceed to City Hall, take a turn onto Broad Street and will end at Citizens Bank Park. No word yet on the time.

C Dioner Navarro (.357/0/0)
RF Rocco Baldelli (.000/0/0)
SS Jason Bartlett (.182/0/2)

As a Phillies fan who has to watch the games listening to the announcers at the game,I am more than irritated. I only wish I were local so I could hear the local Phillies announcers..there should be a requirement that if as an announcer you can't treat both sides equally, you don't get to announce. To hear Joe Buck, the Phillies don't do anything right. But wait, Joe Buck, who is up 3 games to 1? And Oh wait Joe Buck who won Game 4.... 10-2? It seems to me like you should get over the fact that the Phils are a great team. And if you don't like it, do us a favor and move on. No one enjoys listening to you anyway. But here is a bigger news flash...blah, blah, blah, blah ~ the Phils will win it all!
