I saw him on the elevator at the park one night and let him know that Eddie had been my favorite ballplayer growing up. We chatted and I also let him know I was devistated as a 10 year old to find out he smoked. Phil just casually said, oh, he quit about 12 years ago. Man is a walking piece of Senator/Nationals knowledge.sjm308https://www.blogger.com/profile/01236550495879254916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-41867511919506247912012-10-03T06:54:55.559-04:002012-10-03T06:54:55.559-04:00I like Phil.

The Magic No. was 2. Now it's 1, so a Reds loss or a Nats win clinches the No. 1 seed. If they hold on tonight and we both win or both lose tomorrow, we get the No. 1 seed based on the tiebreaker, which in this case is the season series.<br /><br />I want to pause and recognize the return of "Instant Analysis." Glad it wasn't gone forever. Thanks Mark.<br /><br />PIcked up my strips from UPS today too. What a moment.

But remind me. If we win and so do the Reds, we still get home field advantage because we won more games with THEM than they did. Is that right? So we get Atlanta and not SF. I was just curious about the text that said we had to win and they had to lose for us to ensure we play the wild card team. I thought, in the event of a tied overall record, we were still better than the Reds due to our results playing the Reds -- not in terms of a record, but in terms of seeding.<br /><br />It was so much simpler when we were done on the last day of the season. But so much sadder and MUCH less festive, too.

For some reason, I got a little misty when he talked about his role and referred to himself as a past-his-prime player. Does seems like he'd be a good coach down the road.
