Phils Fight to get to the World Series

Last week I reported on the "Phillies Rally by the River." The day I reported on the rally was the day of Game 3 of the National League Championship Series, which the Phillies lost 7-2. That turned out to be the only game that the Phillies lost in that series, they went on to win the next two games in Los Angeles behind Joe Blanton in game four, and ace Cole Hamels in game five. The Phils celebrated their victory in L.A. and now travel to Tampa Bay to face the upstart Tampa Bay Rays. The city of Philadelphia is still partying as they prepare for the World Series which starts Wednesday. As a matter of fact, the city has set up a website called gophila.com/phillies, that allows fans to be a part of this playoff run.
This site has many things for the fans including:
-top 10 places to watch the game
-How to get there(transportation to Citizens Bank Park)
-Interactive map of Citizens Bank Ballpark
-Photo slide show that includes what takes place before and during the game.
-"Red goes Green" (information on the Phillies eco-friendly efforts)
-Where to stay. (The Philly overnight Hotel Package includes two-night hotel accommodations, and free parking.

This is an exciting time for the Philadelphia Phillies, and the entire city of Philadelphia. I'd sure love to be in Philly to be a part of the party of the World Series.
