Last night, the Phillies headed into the ninth inning down by three runs against the Astros, knowing they'd have to stage a comeback against a premier closer in Jose Valverde.

The ensuing inning was one of the reasons why baseball is one of the best sports around.

The Phillies' Chris Snelling hit a pinch-hit home run; Chase Utley was hit by a pitch; Pat Burrell hit a game-tying home run; and then Geoff Jenkins, who struck out but reached first after the ball squeaked past the catcher, scored the game-winning run off an RBI double from Pedro Feliz.

Down three...up by one. Game over. Enter celebration, jubilation, etc.

Last night is one of the hypothetical situations baseball fans live for, something we love to see regardless of our team affiliations.
