    I am probably one of the youngest posters here, I am only 18 but I have loved the Phillies since I can remember. I am from Upstate NY and I get yelled at all the time for being a Phillies fan and I have always stood tall. Man does this feel sweet. WE ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS, I WILL SEE YOU AT THE PARADE!!!

    never forget this (how could you?) thank you all the fine folk at Phillies Nation, i found fellow Phans, (it’s hard when 97% of your friends and family are Eagles fans). this experience, (not just winning the MF WS), but being able to comment with real fans: Priceless.
    thank you. Phillies!
    well worth over 30 years of being a fan.

    This site konked out on me.First off Tim,Congrats to you and for all of the dedicated Phillies fans who have posted in here from all the “Shut your hole Jimmy” to “Cole Hamels will never be a big game pitcher” to a championship.If I may paraphrase from Mets world champ from 69 Bud Harellson. “You are world champions.Irreversible,Nobody can take it away from you” Secondly,I visited the Metsblog and realise why I come in here in the first place,but I’ll say this….not every Mets fan is that immature and classless.Congrats again and I tip my Mets orange and blue cap to you……..tomorrow/Today I get back to basics and get ready for Hot Stove Baseball.

    I just got back from the madness on Broad. I was at the game tonight. I got teary eyed when Lidge struck out Hinske then when Charlie said Philadelphia this is for you I started to cry. He was so passionate about it. I’m once again crying because it is finally sinking in. This is the happiest day of my life. I saw some of the most f*cked up shit on Broad and it was so awesome. I took some pictures with my cell phone and I’ll email them to philliesnation so they can post them maybe. I have a picture of a fire, green man dancing on top of a bus stop thing, a bus stop thing that got totally smashed, amongst some others. I love this city and I am so glad I live here. I’m also kind of glad I live in West Philly because my neighborhood is totally clean. This team is a championship team. When Madson let up that homer in the top of the 7th, what did they do? They scored another run. When McNabb gets into trouble what does he do? He rolls over and dies. What did Lindros do for 10 years or so with the Flyers? Shit the bed. What did Iverson do as a Sixer? Hog the ball. This team doesn’t do these things. They got it done. This won’t be the last World Series this core wins either. This team is a dynasty.

    The sweetest thing in the world!!!!!!!! WS Champions!
    And guess what Philly – we won it with ease! 3-1 vs the Brewers; 4-1 vs the Dodgers and 4-1 vs Tampa – how slick is that???

    We gave each series our clunker, as a matter of fact, we tried to give LA 2 clunkers but Victorino and Matt Stairs decided otherwise with 2 swings… we were not to be denied!

    I got home after midnight, could not fall asleep until after 2, woke up at 4:30 and am now headed to work wishing I could be with everyone else partying! What a time to be a fan!

    go Phillies! See you all next year!

    I hope Jose Reyes is watching, the arrogant SS can’t show boat anymore, Rollins has a ring and he does not. Enough to keep the loud mouth with no backing quiet for a while :)

    flyrzphan, Pat Gillick congratulated the Rays before he said anything else from the platform on the field after the game. You’re right, though, in this: the Rays are a good young team that played amazingly well; I don’t see how hating them makes this sweeter.

    It seems like the site has had problems in the biggest postseason moments, but I take that as a compliment to the blog. It’s gotten too big for its server. We all want to rejoice together here, and that’s just a testimony to how awesome this blog has been.

    Tim, you kept me sane the last few weeks. Thanks

    My story is this:

    I didn’t put my three year old to bed until after the game because I couldn’t bring myself to step away. He didn’t understand at all what was happening, but he’s been learning the basic differences between baseball and football. The most important one (in his mind) is that they don’t tackle people in baseball. That makes football a far superior sport in his mind.

    So when Ryan Howard charged the mound like a defensive end and put a major lick on Brad and Chooch, he was stunned. “Dad! He just tackled him!” I said, “Yeah, buddy. Normally they don’t tackle in baseball, but once a year they do. Every season ends exactly like this, only this year it’s special because Daddy’s team won.”

    I finally put him to bed during the first postgame commercial break. When I came downstairs my wife was popping the bottle of champaign she had secretly bought on Monday to celebrate. We sat and watched the interviews on Fox and then ESPN and polished off the bottle. And it was as sweet as champaign has ever tasted to me!

    Congrats to the players. Well played, well deserved… But the fans don’t deserve it . What a bunch of low class a*holes! Only that the players can’t say what they really want but i’m sure atop of the appreciation they had for the fans, they have had to be ashamed of their acts.

    D Young………I told you yesterday that you were an idiot. This just confirms that.

    Joaquin…….are you speaking of ALL the fans with that statement. Are you saying that me and everyone else on this blog and that my 11-yr old and everyone else’s kids who are fans and old people that can’t get out but remember what it was like 28 yrs ago, etc., etc., etc., …….are you saying that ALL of us are a bunch of low class a*holes?

    Why would anyone try to come on here and talk smack now??? Can’t say sh*t, the Phillies are the 2008 World Champs. Go talk smack elsewhere.

    This blog is awesome……I just have to say that. I really wanted to continue posting last night during the game…..but couldn’t. It was just too intense. I seriously didn’t know what to do at times except pace the floor and watch the game (or listen, too….I had the radio on as well!). Afterwards, I was in total shock and all I could do was just soak up all the coverage I could for as long as it was on. Like everyone else, today I’m a little tired…..but it’s the best knd of tired one can have.

    The were lucky to win – good thing the umps helped them out! Now go out show and show the sports world what drunken fools you can be. Low class town and fans.

    D. Young — Doesn’t surprise me that someone like you would only pick out the umpire help on our side. Don’t count out Rollins jersey being caught by a pitch, Moyer’s fantastic play to Howard, and Myer’s strike out that was granted as a walk…

    The blown calls against the Phillies effected them much more than the blown calls against the Rays. You can’t come here and talk. I don’t care who your team is — you suck. We’re the champs! We will get drunk, and we will party. Your only defense now is to say we’re low class, keep it up, we love it. Keep making us laugh in your face!

    WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

    Best thing we can do is ignore the Trolls and not get caught up in there BS.
    I heard on 610 this morning that it is so hard to win a WS that no team other then the yanks have won more then 2 since 1976. Anyone who says the Phils got lucky are full of it.
