The only remnants of a clinched postseason appearance Friday night was the champagne on a table in the middle of the visiting clubhouse at Citi Field. The customary debauchery was absent. Goggles weren\'t worn because they weren\'t needed. Alcohol wasn\'t chugged nor was it sprayed. There was music, but nothing out of the ordinary.
It was mellow because the Philadelphia Phillies expect more than just a spot in the playoffs.
\"This is the standard,\" manager Rob Thomson said. \"The goal is now firmly entrenched that it\'s to win a World Series. And that\'s it. And that\'s good to feel. It really is.\"
