How about the NL East?

Phils fan here. Lived in Alexandria VA from age 0-4, and here in the Philly area ever since. My dad raised me a Redskins fan, but with no baseball team in the DC area, he didn't influence my baseball loyalties. So I took to the home team. Plus the Phillie Phanatic made a strong impression on me when I was 6, he took my hat and planted a big fat Phanatic kiss on my head.

It's an exciting team, lots of offense. If Hamels can pitch like he did tonight, they could do serious damage in a series. They have the offense to get to pitchers like Smoltz (last night), and if they can roll Hamels out at you twice in one series, they can beat anybody in the NL.

Hard not to like Rollins, Utley, and Howard too; this team is nothing like the Eagles. And the fans are much different too.
