TOP 10 CONSOLATIONS FOR PHILLIES FANS

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool

After today's 10-5 loss to the Rockies, things are looking bleak for the Phillies, the only home team in the playoffs to be down 2-0 in a best of 5 series. But their fans can take solace in the following...

10. They'll still be able to run Charlie Manuel out of town

9. The series won't last long enough to develop any real bitterness

8. After tonight's arson job, you'd have to think that's the last you'll ever see of Jose "Joe Table" Mesa

7. After 14 years without playoff baseball, a lot of it all at once would seem weird

6. Mets Fan still can't be too happy, seeing how Kaz Matsui is doing well

5. Phillies Fan is never likely to actually meet a Rockies Fan, so the potential for face-to-face mocking is more or less nonexistent

4. A long playoff run would have meant that Pat Gillick's curious technique of stockpiling washed-up closers would have been allowed to continue

3. As the Rocks have now won 16 out of their last 17 games, being down 2-0 is not exactly a shock

2. They'll still have those towels

1. Won't distract them from the truly magical Eagles season
