WE WIN!!!!!!!!
I'm in total shock. Total shock. Hell hath frozen over. You watch, next week a black Democrat will win the presidency. The Senate and the House will both have Democratic majorities. Pigs will fly. Hell hath frozen over.
If you haven't heard Harry Kalas's call, here's the entire 9th inning:

My emotions are in a swirl. I'm just ecstatic. Somehow, the fact that I had to get up at 4:30 AM (3:30 AM since game 2 or 3 of this series) for every game of the playoffs makes this even more emotional.
I NEVER thought this team would win a title. NEVER. Sure, I thought the curse would eventually be broken, but I thought it'd be the Flyers or the Eagles. The Phillies? Not a chance.
Wow.
I'm sitting in Phillies red boxers, my Chase Utley jersey, and a Phillies hat. I'm about 2/3 of the way through a bottle of Sovetskoe champagne that I've had in the fridge since the playoffs began.
The party begins.
PHILLIES!!!! 2008 WORLD CHAMPS!!!!
