a few days late for St. Crispian (Oct 25), but nonetheless, Henry V speaks:

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day. (IV, iii)

Phillies kings of baseball!
Carlton, Tug KO Royals

Schmidt Series MVP

By Jayson Stark
Inquirer Staff Writer

They have had to live with the ghosts of 105 awful seasons, seasons that didn’t end this way.
To win it all, the Phillies didn’t have to beat just the Kansas City Royals. They had to blow away 1915 and 1950. And ’64 and ’77. And a hundred other teams that never had a chance to blow it.
They had to demolish a whole legacy of failure in one crazy month. And they did it.

Jenkins is my first up here, yeah. Then if they switch, Taguchi. I know he sucks. It’s a hunch, and a recognition that there aren’t better options.

This was the worst officiated World Series I’ve ever seen. The bad calls went both ways, but primarily in your favor. Regardless, you didn’t need them because the Phillies outplayed the Rays and you earned it.

Not backhanded.

You outplayed us. Congrats.

It is.

Like I said, you earned it.

I just hate seeing umps take over games. Shitty umps.

Giving you forgiveness bpoints for being new to baseball but dear god there was no ‘preference’ in the bad calls – they sucked all around – for both teams

Not new to baseball.

Rays fans supported other teams before we got a home town. Don’t forget Spring Training here too.

thanks Rays fans

Your team will be back. Great club, great year.

Congrats from (another) Rays fan

Your team kicks ass…hope to do it again next year.

Seriously – does anyone expect it

In 80 – my sister was one of like 5 kids at Lower Merion high scholl that day – she already told my 7 year old niece, perfect attendance or not, she’s going to that darn parade

Isn't there somehow still a way that we can lose?

“Best interests of the game” or something?

And a POS as well

Cole can use that car to anchor his yacht.

He can keep some of the spare cash from the big contract extension he should get this off season – time to buy out some arbitration years

Thats a good line, I like.

Y'know, the highlight of the year for me really wasn't this...

it was (honestly) that the Mets choked again.

I mean yeah, the mets choked and that’s nice, but TWENTY FIVE YEARS…i was 11 in 83, 8 in 80, i don’t remember anything but my sister waking me up when they caught the ball at game 6 (family didn’t like basketball) i mean hell, i’m happy and thrilled…

And as of tomorrow – the phrase is “What’s Next”

Yeah, this is pretty sick. I mean, like, need to talk to a psychiatrist sick.

Hey...

I’m not the one looking for batteries to fling at Selig. It’s just good, honest Met-hating.

The coolest part as a “foreign” fan was being able to hear Harry Kalas call the World Series. That’s gotta be pretty cool for him, too.

Ok – we won a world series

Now what?

by jemagee on Oct 29, 2008 10:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I think we have something called “bragging rights”. I just heard of this term and am looking it up.

by PhoenixPhilly on Oct 29, 2008 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Something about a ‘target on your back’ I’ve heard that one too…‘defending champions’? Is that one possible

by jemagee on Oct 29, 2008 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Don’t have to defend until April, that’s a lot of time to brag…

by PhoenixPhilly on Oct 29, 2008 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hopefully the front office doesn’t think like that – defense starts after the parade…

by jemagee on Oct 29, 2008 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Really just speaking as a fan. Let’s not spoil this with the thought of next year’s front office!
