Go Nuts Philadelphia, Your Phillies Are 2008 World Series Champs
AwfulAnnouncing — It was definitely an odd way to win it, but even in a three and a half inning romp, it's still a win. Here are the highlights from Philly's 4-3 win over the Rays to take the World Series, four games to one.... Just a great team and one that was built mostly with homegrown talent. Be careful out there tonight you Philadelphians and don't do anything I wouldn't do (that should cover just about everything).

Philadelphia Phillies win the World Series - finally
Sports Crackle Pop — Congratulations to all the Fightin’ Phillies fans out there. Enjoy it. I set the over/under arrests at Friday’s parade at 100.

Just in Case You Missed The Worst Call in the History of World Series Winning Moments....
Fire Jay Mariotti — Here it is: Buck's nonentity of a call begins at around 3:30. Who'd have thought a team winning their first World Series in the past 28 years would have been as exciting as a double to left in the first inning of a midseason Padres-Marlins game. Oh well. At least Buck didn't berate the Phillies players for their "despicable" celebrations. (watch this soon before MLB takes it down)

In fact, that's exactly what I'm going to do, republishing my feelings during the wild ride to becoming 2008 World Fucking Champions ...
