PHILADELPHIA -- Not without good reason, many Phillies fans were overconfident about the National League Championship Series that ended Saturday night with the San Francisco Giants earning the World Series berth via a 3-2 victory in Game 6. The Phillies seemingly had the better player at seven of the eight field positions -- take a bow, Buster Posey -- and would trot out not one, not two, but three aces, all of them rested
For all the talk about how their offense coughed and wheezed during the season, the Phillies, buoyed by improved health, led the major leagues in runs scored from Sept. 1 through season's end. Momentum lovers could cite also the first postseason sweep in Phillies history, which broomed the Cincinnati Reds in the Division Series.
All that remained was for the Phils to win four games over an NL West champion for the third straight NLCS. Then, await the Texas Rangers and Cliff Lee, the pitcher the Phils shouldn't have traded last winter, for Game 1 of the World Series.
Except when the NLCS ended Saturday, Phillie Fan was forlorn and fleeing a home ballpark whose sea of blue seats was empty.
