[SalmonChantedEvening]

11. Insurance runz plz

kthnx

Go Phils!!

[Sugarcoated]

12. Win it for the Tugger!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. Unwritten rule of postseason baseball.

You can't get cocky about a potential win until you have less defensive outs remaining than runs ahead.

So if it stays 4-3, Phils fans don't get ahead of yourself until the very last out. All I'm saying.

[PCIntern]

14. Right U R

[dancingme]

15. Lights Out Lidge!

[LynneSin]

21. At least he wasn't a Mitch Williams

I remember being in a Bar in 1993 for game 6 of that world series. They put Mitch Williams in and the entire bar emptied out - they just knew.

[siligut]

16. This is it!

Utley, Hamill, Burrell - lots of eye candy for the ladies!!!!

[KamaAina]

29. Wot, you nevah like local kine guys?

Might want to hold off on the Spam, though. :-)

[Sugarcoated]

30. Howard is a cutie, too!

[Patiod]

33. His mom and dad bought boxes of fresh leis!

So all the Phils are wearing leis!! And they were so sweet - they said "They're not just for the team, but for the groundskeepers, ballboys, clubhouse people, etc."

A few nights ago, they were interviewing people in a bar on TV, and a girl pushed up front.

She yelled "Victorino!!!!!" and then mimed doing the hula, and then mimed the "call me" sign with her hands. Very funny!!!!!

[KamaAina]

35. Now if only he could "lei" down a bunt

then he'd have been the hero (sigh)...

Anyway, here you go!

[Patiod]

42. And there are the leis!!!

They were interviewing his parents on the day of the game, and his parents were showing the boxes of leis - when everyone was wearing them later, you knew they were real Hawaiian leis!! How cool is that?

[Patiod]

32. Ahh! the first arrest!

11:28!!

[DS1]

24. Wow. I totally missed it all, but Congrats Phillies Fans!

[dancingme]

27. Philly fans are booing Bud Selig!!!

[PCIntern]

28. Of course we are...we're the best! We take no shit from anyone.

[old mark]

34. This is the most exciting post season and Series I can remember.

I was crazy till the last pitch, and when Ruiz started running to the mound, I went nuts.
Great team - EVERYONE contributed, and everyone stood up - and Charlie ses,"I knew we'd win it all season."

Philly will be partying till election day, probably the rest of the week after that, too.

Hope everybody enjoyed the Series.

Rays, you deserve a lot of credit for a great season.

[Sugarcoated]

36. I thought I heard the parade will be tomorrow.

I'm not sure what time it starts.

[MrSlayer]

37. 12 PM at 20th and Market.

Down Market to City Hall and then Broad Street to the stadiums.

[flvegan]

38. What Phantastic Phillies fans! Destroying parts of downtown.

Brilliant shits, the lot of you.

"I love my town so much, I burned some of it down."

Fucking idiots.

[midnight armadillo]

39. Was there a game on?

[BeachBaby]

40. I'm going to the parade tomorrow

to join the estimated ONE MILLION PEOPLE in hailing our World Series champs. :woohoo:

Anybody else going?

[old mark]

41. As of 6:30 Friday AM, police estimate over 2 million attendance for the parade.

There were a few people finding bleacher seats at 7 AM.

Have a great time - wave, so I can see you on TV.

[Patiod]

43. I should have gone!

but my boss guilted me into coming to work "no, you go ahead - I can show you how to do this pricing some other time...."

"No, I'll come in - I really need to know how to do it."

And then --- he's not coming in until this afternoon because he had to go to the chiropractor!!! (at least I know he's not at the parade himself - he hates crowds)
