Daily News | Bring on the Braves: Phillies show they have World Series stuff with sweep of Cardinals
ST. LOUIS — All of them were there except one. The goggles were donned and the music was on and the corks were popping in a 12-gun salute. The postseason’s biggest wild cards were gathered in the back of the visitor’s clubhouse waiting for the word go. A few minutes after 11 p.m., a half hour after therecorded the biggest final out in the last 11 years of their franchise, the toastmaster arrived.
Aaron Nola? He won another of those big games that many insisted were beyond his reach. Bryce Harper? His second-inning home run gave them the breathing room they’d need to give him the first playoff series victory of his career. Nobody in the champagne-soaked visitor’s clubhouse was thinking about Yadier Molina or Albert Pujols. They weren’t thinking about whether or not Adam Wainwright would join them in retirement. They weren’t thinking about 2011. Who knows how many can even remember that far.
