The Daily Numbers: 2 days before the Phils open the National League Division Series against either the Padres or Rockies at Citizens Bank Park.
14 years since the Phils last captured a division title, with that rag-tag bunch led by Lenny Dykstra and Darren Daulton in 1993.
5 and a third solid innings from starter and local guy Jamie Moyer, who showed every bit of the emotion of the moment after the game. Clearly, Moyer knows what this means to the Phillies’ fans, We get it, too, Jamie.
1 more solid inning from Brett Myers to seal the deal in the ninth inning.
47 home runs for Ryan Howard, who caught fire in the last week of the season, hitting homers in each game of the final week and winding up with 136 RBIs.
20 triples, to go with his 20 home runs, 20 doubles and 20 stolen bases for Jimmy Rollins. He’s only the fourth player to accomplish the feat. Willie Mays is one of the others. Can you say MVP?
10,000 losses. Does anyone even remember that mark set by the Phils earlier this summer? Didn't think so.
18 minutes, how long it took 500 standing-room tickets for Sunday’s to sell out Sunday morning.
0 tickets available for the first two games of the National League Divisional Series, which will start Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park. Both games are completely sold out.
3 points, what the Eagles pathetic offense put up against the Giants in an embarrassing showing on national TV Sunday night. And I could care less.
0 games for the Eagles this week. They have a bye. This stage belong to the Phillies.
Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb should thank their lucky stars for the Phillies. Can you imagine the heat they’d be feeling if the Phils had not taken the spotlight yesterday.
I Don’t Get It (with apologies to Jack McCaffery): Maybe it’s just me, but while the players obviously love the idea of dumping champagne and beer all over each other, I’m thinking the media for the most part could live without it.
Today’s Upper: We’re winners. Do we really need to say anything else?
Quote Box: "No matter what the stakes are, we’re never going to quit."
