Phillies in the World Series! Philadelphia Celebrates on Broad Street!

World Series!  Been waiting 15 years to come back.  Been waiting my whole life for a Philly championship.

After watching the last out at Mike's house, I hopped on the back of his moped and we drove up and down Broad Street.  Tens of thousands of people were outside, going insane.  It was a scene I'll never forget.  Following are a few pictures and above, of course, is a video compilation that I took from the back of the moped.

I'm a Philebrity (kinda) and Matt Stairs

Looks like Philebrity picked up the picture posted in my recent entry, "Domestic Disturbadelphia" which can be seen a couple posts ago. Shows just how crazy the police response was on that call.

Also, Matt Stairs is the man. The first professional baseball game I ever went to was in 1991, Harrisburg Senators vs. Albany Yankees. Albany won, but Stairs played in that game for the Senators, and wound up being the Eastern League MVP that season. Now he's 40 and hit the game-winning shot on one of the most exciting baseball games I've seen.

He also gave one of the best postgame press conferences you'll see, which included this gem of a quote:

"When you get that nice celebration coming into the dugout, when you're getting your ass hammered by guys, there's no better feeling than having that done."

Yikes. Either way, gotta love the mammoth two-run homer to put the Phils within a game of the World Series.

5 sorry louts think they're yer mates!

OK, this is what you need to do. Get on facebook. Scroll down to the bottom. Look for where it says "English" (or whatever your current language is). Click on it and select "English (Pirate)."

THEN, enjoy the changes that are made to your facebook page. You can see a few of them in the picture, like "Arrrplications Plank."

Whoever came up with this has both a sense of humor and too much time on their hands at their cushy job at Facebook. I wish more websites had this feature...I would love to read about the Phillies tomorrow on ESPN.com in pirate-speak.

Speaking of which, GAME ONE is today. Exactly zero of ESPN's 15-20 "experts" picked a World Series win for the Phils. Here's hoping they're all completely wrong. The Rays (no offense) BETTER not win a World Series sooner than the Phillies.
