City of Philadelphia cheers on the Fightin' Phils

The Philadelphia Phillies won the first two games of the National League Championship Series at home in Philly. They need to win two more this series to advance and have a chance to play for the world series. Going into Los Angeles to face the Dodgers some Phillie fans had a great idea. Fans were invited to the "Phillies Rally by the River" where they could all cheer on their Phillies in Game three. They were all invited to the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing to watch the game on a 17' x 27' big screen TV. They were all allowed to bring their own lawn chairs, food, and drinks, and they were going to receive "rally towels" when they get there. I love this idea, it would be a lot of fun to attend. Ive actually always wanted to do something like this, but its never happened. Sometimes in games like basketball and hockey, the team on the road will open up their home rink for fans to come watch the game on the big screen. I am a Phillies fan in this series, so I was watching and cheering with them, but unfortunately for us, the Phillies lost 7-2 in game three, and now only lead the series 2-1. They will try again tomorrow in L.A. as they send Joe Blanton to the mound to try and extend their lead.
