It's odd, I admit, that in the middle of this glorious summer, I keep thinking back to that October night at Citizens Bank Park, bundled in a thick red hat, toes frozen to stumps.

But spotting the Phils on the tube these days and hearing about them from an anguished Mets fan/friend over the last week, I keep going back there. Because too much happened in those final three World Series innings. Too much that I can't quite put to bed yet.
