If not Cardinals vs Yankees in the World Series, then I'm rooting for Phillies vs Mariners!

But, playoff baseball is all about pitching matchups at this point
I’m cool rolling with
Ranger Suarez
Zach Wheeler
Aaron Nola

It’s gonna be fun!!!!
And nerve racking

WooHoo!! What an unexpected postseason for Philly fans everywhere
