To be honest, we should have seen the downfall coming. It started in 2010 when Ruben began to chase names instead of bolstering the roster with homegrown talent as the previous regime had. Halladay, Oswalt (guys I loved by the way don't get it twisted) Cliff Lee, Hunter Pence, (when Dominic Brown was right there) Probably the only name that Ruben chased that made sense was Polanco. I'm not saying I didn't like any of the players he signed, but when you have a loaded roster of names, and not homegrown talent, your future is in jeopardy. Case in point 2012 and 2013
@@NothingifnotInconsistent I listened to that on the radio in my living room (my family didn’t have cable yet) I was 10. I cried afterwards. Then like four months later the Tebow game happened which was like equally bad. 2011-2012 sucked for sports for me.
@@ejaz5429 yup, I remember “and Howard falls down and the game is over” or something like that and just being distraught. That’s probably tied with the Tim Tebow playoff game for the saddest I’ve ever been after a loss.
The fact that we didn't win the world series this year will haunt me til the day i die
Honestly. The Phillies should’ve won four straight from 2008-2011. That’s not how sports works though.
Me too
We should have won in '09, '11, and '22
Of all the players in this video the only ones left in the MLB are:
Mike (Giancarlo) Stanton
Cole Hamels (Possibly)
Maybe the best Phillies team a lot of us will ever see in our lifetimes. Such a tragic ending
Man, watching Cliff Lee work at his peak was pure joy.

my childhood
I know it may seem weird but the 2011 season, highlights and all, just make me sad.
you aint alone there, anon my friend...
This team easily should won the whole thing that yr 😢😢😢😢😢
Even though I'm a cardinals fan, we had no business beating these Phillies
It was so fun watching this rotation this year.
Man... Lee was untouchable when he was right
I was at that cliff lee game. When I was 6 I remember that game vividly it ended 5-0 and the Phillies only got 2 hits. But cliff lee was amazing
If it wasn’t for the Cardinals, this team would’ve won the World Series!
Un millón abrazos cada uno
10:28 lmao that nose tho 😂
Can u do a chase utley highlight reel? Everything I see is 10 minutes or fewer. Feel like there are many more chase moments to enjoy
Rip Roy Halladay
11:02 I was at that game one of my all time favorite games I was at
Cliff Lee was so amazing that he threw a 2 out shutout… it’s the only one in major league history and I bet it will never be broken… 11:25 😂
What a team
Too bad they couldn’t bring it home
Disappointing like the 84 Sixers
I know we lost but docs performance in game 5 should have been on here. That was one off the best clutch playoff performances ever
As great as it was you couldn’t pay me to rewatch that game

@@anonymousanonymity2815 same boat. I was 13. Didn't have cable. Sobbed for hours after listening to it on the radio.

Should of been us vs the rangers thag year fucking forgot how to hit in game 5
Having to listen to Tom McCarthy broadcast makes my head hurt.
It could be Jim Jackson
Tom was the voice of the Phillies around this time. Good times for me. I legit would watch every game.
@@anonymousanonymity2815 yeah that dude is awful
@@Bucketgetter215 like he’s good at hockey imo but he was just not right for baseball.
@@anonymousanonymity2815 exactly why we got rid of him he was we terrible for baseball
