It's good to be back after a long holiday weekend and while the Phillies oddly had the 4th off this year, they took care of business this weekend and the Bank, winning 2 of 3 in a critical series against the wild card contending Cardinals. Wins on Friday and Sunday will let us overlook the one that got away on Saturday -- the 11,150th in team history -- so lets Ring the Bell for a successful series.
