The Phillies await the result of tonight's Padres/Rockies tilt to determine their next opponent for Wednesday's highly anticipated playoff game. San Diego or Denver? California or Colorado? West Coast or a bit east of the West Coast? The Phillies seem to be split on which team they want to play. Surprisingly, almost all of the players were not at all concerned about the other team's personnel, but the recreational opportunities offered by their cities. "I'm a beach guy,"said Geoff Geary, Phillies pitcher. Geary admitted that the altitude of Denver made him see 3 catchers the last time he pitched there. Michael Bourne, a native Texan said,"Surprisingly I'm more of a mountains guy, I was born with an extra half lung and so I welcome the challenges that come with altitude." In the 2002 off-season Jose Mesa climbed both K2 and Mt. Everest(pictured) in the same week, but prefers the beach this week because "I've done the mountain thing."
