The Philadelphia Phillies are associated with the month October. For the past two seasons they have been the Kings of this month without much adieu. They now boast the top pitching rotation in the field and already owned one of the game's best line-ups. A line-up that still hasn't hit its stride yet this season. This post-season has a different feel, as they now look to achieve success through their arms rather than their bats.
The other teams in the field need to be careful as the Phillies appeared to have hit their peak in the last month or so. Even with their troubles throughout the season, they are here once again, this time with the best record in baseball and home-filed throughout their playoff stay. They drew newcomer Cincinnati in Rd. 1 and hope to break them in just right on their way to another World Series appearance.
These playoffs will be memorable for some; more stories will be scripted over the next month. While others will end in heart-break. Let's go ahead and meet some of these teams as we look at the match-ups we all wish to see.
