CONGRATS TO THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES-2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!

While I picked the Rays and was rooting for them (an American League guy), I certainly wasn't rooting against the Phillies.

How could you not like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins (dang, with those three the Phillies should be in the play-offs every year) and one of my new favorite players-Shane!

The Phillies had just enough pitching- Hamels, Myers, Moyer and Blanton plus redemption for Brad Lidge whose last visit to the World Series including offering up a walk-off home run ball to Scotty Pods!
