I want to congratulate the Philadelphia Phillies on a great season!!!

I would like to point out a few things to you players: 

o It is very hard to win it all.  It took a lot of work and dedication along with some luck.
o There were many role players who when their chance came in a big spot were ready and delivered.  Don't moan when you are not getting PT.  Spend time preparing for your shot.  You may only get one big one and you never know when it will come.
o The two runs they scored in the resumed game to win it were scored after a leadoff double and the next guy moved the runner to 3rd with one out.  This was huge.  After that the next guys got it done.   This happened many times in this series.  This is how you win ball games.
o You can't let bad calls rattle you because they will happen.
o Bad baserunning can kill you, good baserunning helps you win.
o Everyone needs to know how to bunt!!!!
o Know the situation (Chase Utley fake throw to 1st then getting runner going home in 8th)

See you all in the spring.
Then it will be our turn.
