Its always a good day when long-time Philly sports columnist and surfer Bill Conlin uses the term "spiked jackboots" in a column. When it comes after a improbable walk-off win over the Dodgers, all the better. In fact, that column is epic -- just like last night's game. Not that I would know, because I fell asleep.
Terrible. The only excuse is that I am still recovering from the binge I went on after the Game 2 loss. Which was what, 4 days ago? It's a bit hazy. I do remember screaming in a friend of mines' face at the bar. And running after some weird long-haired white animal that was later determined to be a skunk. Good times. Where was I?
Oh right:
Some nights you get the Big Dodger in the Sky. And some nights the Big Dodger in the Sky gets you.
Goddamn, watching the sketchy TBS dugout camera online as the Dodgers approached their doom was one of the better moments in recent sports memory.
