September 9, 2008 (Philadelphia)

Dollar dog night between the Phillies and Marlins. By then, the Marlins are pretty much out of the race, the division was between the Phils and Mets.

I got there early, and was only able to eat 5 hot dogs, since I was "forced" to drink the rest of my water bottle, which was not allowed in the ballpark if already opened.

It would not be a good night for Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies, as the Fish would pound him for 7 runs, and would lead 9-1 after 4. The Phillies would slowly chip away, but would fall short, as the Marlins would win 10-8.

During the game, a lot of scoreboard watching, as the Mets game was also high scoring. The Mets would end up winning the game, so the Phils' chances is not looking good.

I thought this would be the last game of the season for me, and it has been a fun season overall. I visited 7 different ballparks outside of Philly, and would go to multiple Phillies games for the first time since 1996. My love for baseball is back, and it really helps that the local team is winning.
