The Phillies are the 2008 World Champions!

We won!!! We are still in shock. The Phillies won the World Series!!! We watched the game with some friends last night and it was so exciting...we'll never forget the last pitch by Lidge! We woke up David and brought him down for the last three outs so we could celebrate with him. We all went up to Modell's after the game to get some gear, but the line was hundreds and hundreds of people! All the cars were doing drive bys and the crowd was cheering!!! Our city and area is on top of the world! We headed over to Dick's Sporting Goods and we were able to get all of our World Series gear! We are all so excited for the parade!!!! Go Phils!

So many memorable moments this series...Moyer pitching a great game, Ruiz (the catcher!)being the hero in game three, Hamels pitching perfectly, Blanton's home run (what!?!), Howard getting his swing back...big time!, Lidge having a perfect season and postseason...never missing a save, ALL of the Phillies playing together as a team to win the championship!!!
