A week ago, we had no faith in the Phillies advancing far in the playoffs. Now, having swatted away the pesky Rockies, we are full of chest thumping confidence. We truly think they are a better team than the Dodgers. However, game one tonight will be huge. While we believe in the Phillies, we do not yet believe in Cole Hamels. For whatever reason, he has been nothing (nothing!) like he was last season. We have seen small windows of brilliance -- but nothing sustained like last fall. So if he somehow gets the Phillies a W tonight, we think it could very well be a short series. If not, we still think they will win -- but we will have to agonize over six or seven games.
