In what will most likely become a yearly tradition, and one that hopefully next year we will attach the site name to, this past Saturday we crammed 40 Phils fans into a Yellow School bus, provided them copious amounts of booze, and headed up to Citi Field for what weeks ago seemed like it was going to be a meaningless game somewhere around victory number 105. But after a week of losses and rain out on Friday, suddenly Saturday's game had a little more urgency than expected. In the end, the Phillies faltered once again with Cole Hamels going 7 strong but the bullpen letting him down. But the trip was not without a number of highlights.
The game action was a little lousy, but the weather held off, the food was delicious, and aside from getting lost on the ride home and taking a detour through most of Manhattan, the trip was a major success. Special thanks to all the friends and family that helped out. Next year we're aiming for Baltimore and Pittsburgh!
Copious amounts of booze? haha. it was an awesome trip and well worth the minimal fee that Dropped Strike Three charges compared to some other Phils tailgate packages. and we got a free tour of manhattan!
