I was willing to take Ellie out. It was just that I couldn't get there before lunch. I figured I should give you a heads up that I wasn't exactly the person you wanted.

And yes, the Phillies continue their bad play. However, it seems whenever I actually get a chance to see the game (and yell at the tv. Yes, they can hear me), the Phils win. I guess I have to watch every game for the rest of the season.

You realize that the payoff for this will be a long time coming. They meet again on your turf in late September for four games. August and especially September is the Phillies time to shine. Look out then. You may get steamrolled.

Game on!

I kind of figured that. That was why I wanted to let you know it didn't get there. I hope Ellie is feeling okay.
