Throughout the course of a year, people have a few bad days here or there. Everything goes wrong and you are in a terrible mood. At the end of the night, you lay in bed and think "Wow, that was an awful day. I hate my life." Some people have these days often, some not so much. Today is that kind of day for me. The WORST day every year is when you realize that you will not watch the Phillies take the field for months.
The 2012 Philadelphia Phillies season has ended. Yes, it was a very frustrating season full of injuries, blown leads, offensive struggle at times. You name it, we had it. Despite the late Wild Card run, many of us knew the season was long over. But still, it doesn't hit you until it happens. Like many of you die hard fans, I spent every single day with this Phillies team during the '12 season. My days revolved around them. Now, it's gone. Tomorrow isn't an off day, it's the off season. When the clock strikes 7:05, there won't be that passionate feeling we get before a Phillies game. It's like losing a best friend, you spend every single day with them and know everything about them. You have some awesome times together, along with rough times. But as annoying as they may get, you still love them in the end. I will always have passion for this team. This is what makes us Philly Phans. With such a frustrating season, we could just shrug it off and "wait til' next year." But that isn't Philly. Our passion doesn't allow us to do that. Not a good day.
April 1, 2013. Please hurry up.
