"Werth Every Heartache"
Wow. Just wow. What a year. 2008 seemed like destiny. 2009 was more like Rolling Thunder at Great Adventure. A while ride that kept you on the edge of your seat the entire time. The first comeback win was a magnificent walk fest against the Atlanta Braves in the third game of the season. The last comeback was one of the most memorable moments in Phillies history during game 4 of the NLCS. 2009 was a year full of so many memorable events. We saw blown saves of plenty. We saw struggles on the mind and at the plate. We saw a rookie step up in every way possible. We saw 2 former Cy Young award winners put on uniforms with red pinstripes. We saw 4 players hit 30 home runs. We saw that, once again, it takes an entire team to win the division. 2009 was a battle. In 2009, we defended one crown. In 2009, we're preparing to defend another.
Back where we belong.
