Getting into the Game

Rule #1: always go down swinging. Especially when it's the last strike of the last out of the last inning and the winning run is standing on first base waiting for you to send him home. But that's all I'm going to say about that. Sigh.

Rule #2: keep your eye - and your hands -- on the ball. Do not fumble a hand-off on the 3 yard line. Do not allow the opposing team to move 50 yards down the field on a punt by fumbling the return. And, for the love of everything sacred, please stop throwing to the other team.

So this weekend pretty much summed up what it means to be a Philly sports fan. Starting out with a bang, ending with "what in the hell just happened?"

But sometimes just getting there -- with the right person holding your hand -- is good enough. Although winning would have been nice, too.
