Last night’s game was a bit — how to put it — deflating. But here’s the thing about the World Series: It’s a series. Of a possible seven games, in fact.

So let’s make sure the Phillies take it all the way, starting with a win tonight at Citizens Bank Park.

How do we do that? Well, you can take the Phillie Phanatic’s example (set so poignantly at Franklin Square’s recent pep rally) and put those rally caps on!

Dancing a jig to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," Phanatic-style.

Do you think the Phanatic ever gets down about the Phillies? Not sure.

But does he ever show it? Never!

Does he ever give up on our Fightins? Never!

Profiles in phanaticism: The Phillie Phanatic.

The Phanatic has never let us down, so let’s return the favor. Cheer for the Phillies tonight like never before. Let ‘em hear you all the way at Citizens Bank Park.

And maybe, just maybe, the Phanatic will reward you with one of these (at least in spirit):

What we wouldn't give for a hug from this guy.

GO. PHILLIES.
