NUFF SAID

1. Congrats to a well earned title!

:applause:

[Pierre.Suave]

2. Well that answers that...

damn and I missed it.

[LynneSin]

4. I've watched some of the game - I like the Phillies but they're not my favorite team

but since the Cincinnati Reds were mathematically eliminated back Memorial Day weekend this will have to do

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. Who are the Phillies?

[LynneSin]

5. You prepared for divorce papers or something

:hide:

19. It was fucking weird watching her watching a baseball game

She was yelling louder than I did watching the Giants win the Super Bowl last year.

My favorite line of the night from Lostinva:"Strike the motherfucker out dammit! I've been waiting 43 years for them to win a Series, and I want it to happen before I die!"

[ProdigalJunkMail]

34. how come LostinVA had to wait 43 years

and everyone else only had to wait 25??? :-)

sP

15. A brand of cheap cigars. What else?

:-)

[cboy4]

37. I know, it's pretty exciting!

:boring:

[Patiod]

46. Hey, weren't the Angels doing pretty well this year?

What happened there?
:bounce:

[flvegan]

6. Well deserved. Congrats, Phillies.

[Initech]

9. Congrats to the Phillies!

:toast: :woohoo:

[KamaAina]

10. In the words of the immortal Marv Albert, YYYESSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Never mind my own well-documented bias against expansion teams from the fast-buck Sunbelt. Imagine what a fiasco an AL comeback would have been for the sport as a whole, thinking back to "Monday Night Water Polo". Shades of the infamous All-Star tie -- which, come to think of it, may have caused that directly, if this would have been the NL's year for home field.

Factoid: Maui native Shane Victorino becomes the first Hawai'i player to win a Series since Lenn Sakata with the '83 O's. Benny Agbayani got there with the 2000 Mets, but, well, you know. Sign I wish I'd made: Victorino holding chopsticks over a ray, reading "Rays Make Great Sushi". :P

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Pale Blue Dot]

11. I love Philadelphia. The city deserved this.

I miss Philly. :cry:

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Congratulations to the Phillies....

If it couldn't be the Cubs, at least the National League won. That's good news.

[Initech]

14. Holy shit! Anyone listening to the crowd booing Selig?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LynneSin]

16. We are the best fans everywhere! We boo Sarah Palin and her Kid. We boo Bud Selig

:woohoo:

[madinmaryland]

24. jeebus. selig fucks everything up. baseball is DEAD to me.

[Initech]

31. Yes he does!

[LynneSin]

40. Selig is probably half the reason I was sitting at home watching the game

and not up in Philly at some bar. I use to love baseball (btw the other reason - Phillies are NOT my favorite team, I like them but I'm a Cincinnati Reds fan) but Selig is a former team owner (Milwaukee Brewers) whose only concern is the owners and NOT the fans. I'm happy the Phillies won but if it was any of the other 3 major sports teams I'd be going nuts!

[pinniped]

28. Those were some pretty long booooooooooooos.

I think Charlie was trying not to laugh during Selig's big moment.

[JVS]

53. There's a reason that the Special Olympics never comes to Philadelphia. You guys would boo them too

[KamaAina]

17. Outplacement idea for the "bratwurst Machiavelli": Mall Santa

he's already met the chief occupational requirement for Santa. :-)

[Initech]

30. Like this Santa?

[IndianaJones]

18. congrats to the world champs. nt.

[TK421]

20. Congrats to the Phils!!

:thumbsup: and to the upcoming efforts of the Philadelphia Police Department, of course

[KamaAina]

21. The end of one curse, the dawning of a new

Henceforth, it is decreed, no team that stays in Delaware shall win a title. :P

[madinmaryland]

22. CONGRAT'S TO THE RAYS AND JOE MADDEN.

Though, i'm sure selig had a lot to do with fucking up the whole series.

baseball is DEAD to me.

[cboy4]

38. The Rays have a lot to be proud of, but I know how much

it hurts to lose a World Series.

Two of them to be exact.

[Blue_Tires]

25. so you did sabotage the rays while they slept in that state-not-to-be-named?

[KamaAina]

26. Who says they slept?

:evilgrin:

[pinniped]

27. I'm glad the fans gave that jerk Selig some big fat boos.

My teams didn't make it, but I'm glad the teams I hate got wiped out.

- Dodgers
- Angels
- Devil Rays

I like how a lot of people thought the Devil Rays were gonna steamroll over the Phillies.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

50. How can you hate the Rays?

They were a great story.

[KamaAina]

52. This Series needed LESS cowbell

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8196780&mesg_id=8196780

This World Series is unsalvageable. It is a disaster borne of people who think cowbells and (bad -Ed.) haircuts make them fans, owners who are so greedy that they accept late-October baseball and late-evening start times, and a commissioner who unilaterally changes a rule while he’s carrying the book in his left hand....

:P

[mvd]

29. Woohooooooooooooo!!!

We did it! Congrats to all my fellow Philles fans and the city!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Congrats to the Phillies!

And a special congrats to one of my favorite former Mariners, Jamie Moyer! I'm so happy for you, Jamie!! :bounce: :bounce:

[Patiod]

47. My SO went to college with him!

Which makes all the funnier the "oldster" and "dinosaur" gibes his teammates throw out at him on TV

[Eurobabe]

33. YEAH!!!! My hometown wins!!!

Jesus, after almost 30 years. Yes, I saw them win in 1980.

GO PHILLIES!!! :woohoo: :bounce:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. Congrats to the Phillies

:toast:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

36. WOOOO HOOOOO!!

:party: :woohoo:

World Champions!!

:hi: :hug: :D

[old mark]

39. The 9th inning was incredible - the entire post season was incredible,

but the win is just great. Good ol' Uncle Charlie.....
GO, PHILS!

[Beer Snob-50]

41. congrats phillie fans!!

the last time they won, my wifes best friend was a student in philly. she dressed up like a mime (sp??) and gave out apples to those celebrating.

[BeachBaby]

42. Oh man - the city looks like a war zone.

From everything I'm reading and seeing, it's pretty bad.

I thought it was bad when I saw someone shooting off fireworks IN THE CROWD, but it only got worse from there. Traffic light poles are down, storefronts were destroyed because looters threw newspaper stands through the windows, trees are down from people climbing them and other people trying to shake them out of the trees, the massive potted plants were ripped out of the ground, fires, overturned cars, and apparently a few people actually got lit on fire.

Lots of arrests and several people hospitalized for jumping off roofs, falling out of trees and being lit on fire.

How do people turn a celebration into fighting, looting and destroying everything in sight? I'll never understand that.

[TZ]

43. Yeah I know...

My Alma Mater, University of Maryland got a bad reputation during basketball season for burning couches and other things after big wins...I just don't understand it either...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

55. Fortunately, Maryland's professional football team had no problems with rioting after their win...

....in Superbowl 35 in 2001. So your state's good name is salvaged after all. :p

[Patiod]

49. Especially with only 3 1/2 innings to get drunk

Maybe that's the problem - not enough idiots passed out - too many were able to walk and cause trouble

[bigwillq]

44. Congrats to the Phillies!

And their fans! :bounce:

[Patiod]

45. Kickty Kick - It's nice to see Philadelphians actually cheerful

well, cheerful for us

[Bertha Venation]

48. Congrats, LynneSin

I know exactly how you feel. O8)

[MissMillie]

51. Good for them!

A good year, a good effort, good all around.




(Now, LynneSin, I want you to take note of this post the next time you start ragging on Red Sox fans... some of us--probably most of us--are very good sports!)

[Lucian]

54. Who?
