Gosh, I am still not over this. Stupid rain-out. Caused Comcast to replay the memorial service which of course I watched. I just cannot get the image of the players loading his casket into the hearse...

Great picture Christine. I wonder how long they will leave everything up. Obviously the flowers will start to wilt eventually...

Sounds like a plan, maybe we could make a new thread so it's not hidden in here. My next games are Apr 28 (Charlie Manuel Bobble Head) and then May 2nd, which is a Sat afternoon game against the...

Ian I thought about mentioning meeting up for a :beer: but we were taking our friend from Germany and it was his first game ever so we were really busy with him the whole time, explaining rules,...

I hope they didn't show me on TV because I was a sobbing mess. Truly touching moment. Passing the coffin along with Bridge over Troubled Water playing was something I'll never forget. And what...

I had a free period and decided to cope with my feelings by writing a letter to Harry. It actually gave me a lot of closure.

Dear Harry Kalas,
I knew that you were getting up in years, and that...

Ian you posted as I was still gathering my thoughts. I had trouble holding back the tears this morning as well. I just feel depressed, through and through.

Question to all my fellow Phightin' Phaithfuls... How in the world do we move on from this??? Some how, I manage to find myself even more sad today. :(

I finally got myself composed until the game broadcast started... Sarge wiped away a tear and I started getting choked up.. then when they showed the players and Chase Utley seemed to heave a heavy...
