Get It Done Tonight

After the Phillies victory in game four of the NLCS, I’ve been hearing a lot of Phillies fans say they wouldn’t mind if the Phils lose tonight so they could see the clincher in person.  I, for one, want no part of that.  I say take care of business tonight.  The Phillies have everything in their favor right now.  They have all the momentum.  They have their ace on the mound tonight.  They are facing Chad Billingsley, who allowed eight runs in their game two match up.

Failing to win tonight would swing the momentum back in the Dodgers’ favor, and could spell trouble for the Phillies.  I don’t want to find out if the Phillies offense can finally figure out Hiroki Kuroda in game six.  I don’t want to see which Brett Myers will show up for the Phillies in that game either.  I want no part of Derek Lowe on full rest in game seven, and I don’t want to find out who the Phillies will trot out to the mound to face him.  Just get it done tonight!
