Sweeney heading to the playoffs

I was exchanging texts with Mike Sweeney this morning at The Filling Station when ESPN highlights of an interview with Mike popped on the coffee shop TV.  I texted him to congratulate him for making the playoffs with the Philadelphia Phillies.  Mike, a five-time All Star, played most of his career with the Kansas City Royals.  Mike became a friend and supporter of Youthfront.  Mike loves youth ministry so we had a lot in common.  After 14 seasons in the Major Leagues, Sweeney is finally going to the playoffs.  I'm so happy for him.  Mike is one of the nicest human beings to ever play MLB.  Tonight the SF Giants are going to reduce their magic number to 3.  I'd love to see the Giants and the Phillies slug it out for the National League Title.  I will root for Sweeney but I will be pulling for Affeldt and the Giants to win it.  Here is a picture of Roy Halliday, Mike Sweeney, Brian Schneider and Ben Francisco celebrating after clinching the National League east title last night.
