I really thought Tampa Bay would kick Philly's ass. Boy was I wrong. I wish the Tampa Bay team that played the Phillies played the Sox. Oh well, next year...

Thats why Philly has the best fans in America - we can stick it out.
Must be easy in NY with the Yankees buying championships .....

Yeah, the Rays came out a little flat. Not that the Phils didn't, what with Howard, Utley and Burrell starting the series ice cold, and Utley and Burrell never warming up! But the big man came through, Rollins is great and Victorino and Werth were solid the whole way, throw in some great performances by the "lesser knowns" and good pitching and Philly finally has another World Series ring. Kind of messes up my planned T-shirt idea though, to make a take-off of the Yankees' "Got Rings?" shirt where it just says "Got Ring?" Oh well, I'll trade a championship for my Phillies for my latest million dollar idea. I kind of thought that Bud Selig made the Phils win that game twice though, did anyone else feel that way? I thought that once the game was official, if it got called for the night, you went back to the last completed inning and whoever was winning then won the game. Am I "off base" here? (pun intended) If I have that rule right, Monday night should have reverted to the end of the 5th when the Phils were leading 2 to 1 and they should have been crowned champions then, right? But then we wouldn't have gotten another night of TV revenues, now would we? Anyway, it feels to me like the Phillies won the series 5 games to 1, which makes mttourpro's prediction of the Phillies in 6 exactly correct.

I thought the same Mick. Vegas paid out with Philly winning the game because of that rule you mentioned.Before the game resumed ...
But it would have been wrong to end the series that way.
It worked out all right though. The good guys won !

I really wanted to play the Sox - The Rays ????? Tampa ????? Actually I hate Tampa as they knocked the Flyers out of the playoffs last year and stomped on the Eagles a few years back ....
Guess I should be happy with what I got though.

Just beat the cowboys this weekend so the Birds can catch up - because we are coming for the G Men after that !

Just wanted to mention that standing on Broad Street with 2 million of my best friends was an awesome experience.

I got to the parade route at 8:30 in the morning (for a 12:00pm parade that didn't show up till almost 1pm). It was cold (the flask of Jameson's helped :) and the 'parade' bit only lasted about 10 minutes, but it was worth every overpriced penny I spent on plane tickets.

I would definitely do this again. And again. And again. And again. But I'm from Philly, so the experience isn't likely to be repeated for another 20+ years. :)

Philadelphia Phillies. World Series champions. Awesome.

Hey, Atlanta's with you Jck_Strw.

The way all our teams are playing (exception to the Falcons, they might make the playoffs) it'll be twenty years before we win another championship in any sport...

Savor the moment!

If the Thrashers moved Atlanta would have a better shot ......
