I am ecstatic that the Phillies have again won the World Series. I am proud of the city for the parade going on right now.

BUT I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE PHANATIC DANCING ATOP A MOVING VEHICLE. “CAR SURFING” HAS BECOME A SERIOUS HAZARD TO OUR YOUTH AND THE EXAMPLE OF THE PHANATIC IS A VERY, VERY BAD ONE.

“Clutch” ought to be the title of the post-season DVD. (BTW, who isn’t just chomping at the bit to get that one after years of watching team highlights with no pararde).

This team was clutch in every sense of the word. Starting pitching, middle relief, closer, home runs, big hits, bunts, pinch hitters, great defense, managerial moves……this team was just clutch over and over.

And it seemed like it was someone different every night. Think about it, is there anyone that wasn’t clutch in the post-season. The only person I can think of is Taguchi, but overall this team was the clutchest of the clutch. We’ve missed that in Philly for a long time.

Yeah, and this was the lowest rated World Series ever. Reason? Everybody hates Philly, and for good reason.

If there’s a fan base less deserving of a celebration, i can’t think of one.

Folks, I’ll try to get some of the audio clips to Brian so he can post them, but I won’t be able to get to it until Saturday…sorry…working tonight and busy with the whole Halloween thing tomorrow. I have plans for Jenkins’ double, him scoring on Werth’s “hit,” Utley’s throw to the plate, Burrell’s double, Feliz’s game winning RBI, and of course, the slider. Maybe even Vic’s 2 run hit in Game 5 Part 1.

This may be great for the Philly nation….but for the Met fan….Its like waiting at the alter,the bride spits in your face and marries the best man after he punches you in the face….after the wedding,the bride tells you that the daughter you had was really the best man’s. (and no its not from personal experience)I am happy for you guys (esp those who welcomed me) that your team won…..but I can’t contain my anger and rage for my Amazins spitting the bit year after year.I do tip my cap to the Phillies because they deserved it.

Jack what are you talking about. I went to spring training this year and was there for the ups and downs. I was sat through a 3.5 hour rain delay waiting for those Phillies to play to bluejays and they then proceeded to lose. I have been a phan for 19 years. I was showing how proud I was of being a phillies fan and what this win meant for my family and you have to nerve to say something like that. TO didn’t stay, none of these guys begged to be traded and I still support Rollins!!!

93-0 with a lead after 8 innings… that’s f’n insane man. There are good bullpens and there are spectacular bullpens. We saw the latter this season.

I remember being on here back in the summer saying how the Phils were done and they had no chance at making the playoffs and we need to get rid of Uncle Cholly…Now were World Champs and Uncle Cholly crazy moves have gotten us a World Championship.

Oh, sorry Kyle. Thought that was the one… maybe somewhere on Youtube?

Paul, thanks. But I already heard Kalas — wanted to hear LA and Franzke. Didn’t find that on the goodphight.

“The names Utley, Hamels, Stairs, Moyer and Victorino will be immortalized by their heroics throughout this month.”

So easy to forget the hate you used to have for them. If TO comes back to Philly and the Eagles win a super bowl, will you love T.O. again and claim that he changed your family forever? It’s sad that fans never supported this team until the very end and now claim to be part of it.

Anyone have audio — does it exist?? — of LA’s or Franzke’s call?

I would love more audio please. And while you’re at it, check out Joe Sheehan’s excellent piece on the Phillies over at Baseball Prospectus. It’s fabulous – and a great local slant from a national baseball writer.

October 28, 2008, the day the Phillies destroyed 28 years worth of anger, frustration and mediocrity. This date is the crowning achievement of the Phillies in the 21st century. The road was long, and the struggle seemed arduous at times. The Phillies this year battled adversity. They battled bad pitching(see Eaton, Adam), poor offense(See interleague play), and when immortality was in reach, it was almost thwarted by Mother Nature and one man(see Selig, Bud). The 2008 Phillies season will be one of the most defining moments in my early life. While I anxiously awaited the final out of the World Series, ending my 19 years of wondering the what ifs, I thought of my family who has been through far worse. My Babci, who has been a Phillies fan for well over 80 years and watched 99.9% of games, my uncle, who still stood his ground even after the 1964 collapse and finally myself and my brothers and sister, who listened to countless Yankees and Mets fans telling us that we would never reach this point. This date, October 28, 2008, will be remembered by Phillies fans for generations. It will be our Christmas! The names Utley, Hamels, Stairs, Moyer and Victorino will be immortalized by their heroics throughout this month. I find myself overjoyed and a feeling of awe over my family. The Phillies, a team of 25 men, has impacted a generation. I know I will pass down these feelings to my children and subsequent generations. For the first time in 28 years, this is not the winter of our discontent. The Championship by the boys of summer will keep me warm even in the coldest days. And for that I have to thank the Phillies!
