2008 World Champion Philadelphia Phillies
What can I say? Aside from all the bullshit that has taken place in my life over the past few weeks, the one constant remained...Phillies baseball baby!!!! hahaha This past month has been absolutely incredible. I have been patiently (and sometimes not-so-patiently) waiting for a championship for as long as I can remember. The Phillies are my team, and there couldn't be a better team to have won it all than the guys on this team. I watched the Phillies when they absolutely sucked, when they couldn't finish a season over .500, when they started to get closer but ultimately failed, when they got to the playoffs and were swept... I've been through it all while watching them...extreme highs and even more extreme lows. I've screamed and cheered and got angry and booed, but I never stopped watching. Wednesday night was the best night of my life. It still doesn't seem real, but the Philadelphia Phillies are, in the words of Chase Utley, "World Fucking Champions"!!!!! Today I went to the parade and it was insane. Over a million people lined Broad Street for a chance at a glimpse of their favorite players. Unfortunately I wasn't one of the lucky ones...all my faves were facing the other side...but it was still unbelievable. 28 years of suffering for Phillies fans was absolutely erased in the 10 minutes it took for the parade to pass us. It was something I will never, ever forget, and something that I hope will come "again, again and again". This was an amazing season and I can't wait to start counting down the days to Spring Training... GO PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!
