I can't think of a tenser inning I've ever heard in a baseball game, but I made it into the house the second that Wilson started his final wind-up.

And now, the Series!

It was SO torturous to watch .... eeee! ... but they WON!!

[We got to see the last 4 innings at the BlackAngus after the Gaea game wrapped up. It was amazing how full the sports section filled during the last inning [we were seated there] - and we all whooped it up at the win ... except for the lone Phillies fan over at the next table. SO HAPPY!]
