    It will be cool to see Bill Giles give the NL trophy to the Phillies this year. The trophy is named after his dad and he has presented it the last few years to the winner of the NL pennant.

    15 yrs later and i still feel like i'm 13. Words can't describe the joy i feel. When i started this thread i had wishful thoughts but this season has topped them all so far. Cole Hamels proved tonight that he is A BIG GAME PITCHER. Doing it at home is one thing ,doing it on the road in a hostile enviorment proves his talent. On real can't wait until next wednesday, the city is truly painted red. I'll have much more later right now i'm in a really happy place good night anddddddddddddddddd HOW BOUT THEM PHILLIESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Go Birds!!!!

    I was 25 the last time they went to the Series. I was at the Vet when Schilling pitched that gem -- a 2-0 shut-out to win Game 5 and set them up for the eventual game where Joe Carter broke our hearts. I think this is really our year, though. I hope they play the Rays and if they do, I see the Phils winning in 4!!!

    Hey, did anyone catch that guy behind home plate sporting an Avocado t-shirt?
    Rock on!

    Congrats to the Phillies for making it to the World Series. They showed that they are a great team who deserves to play for the championship.

    I won't be rooting for them in the Series, but they deserve this. Congrats!

    I will never understand that kind of thinking...to me I'd feel better if I lost to the eventual champion than the runner-up. And its national league pride man..you really going to root for the american league? oh well...must be an LA thing

    heck, joe torre said he'll be rooting for the phils. :p

    i am so excited. this team is really playing as a team and i don't want to get my hopes up but have such a good feeling.

    by the way - staying up until 2 and getting up for work at 530 do not mix! but i'm ok with being exhausted! :D

    coming into work today it seemed like everyone i saw had some kind of phillies apparel on. we are all wearing our phillies gear today at work and have phillies pretzels to celebrate. it's a good day.

    If the Dodgers beat the Phillies (in fantasy land) I would want the Dodgers to fail miserably and choke horribly and completely embarrass themselves and many other spiteful things...but hey that's just me.

    What a day yesterday... my neice was born at 3:30 in the afternoon, and then the Phils go to the fuckin world series!!!! I still have chills!!! The whole ride into work this morning was like I was floating on air...

    I also saw the guy with the Avocado shirt about 2 rows behind home plate... too bad he was a Dodgers fan :)

    This week is going to be the longest week ever.....

    GO PHILS!!!!!

    Thanks guys.

    I'm so happy for Charlie... At times, he has received a lot of criticism in this city (some of it deserved), but in the end, he does seem like the perfect fit for this team. Hopefully, he can find some peace today and tomorrow, and come back next week ready for the task at hand.

    This is a really good article....

    7 down 4 to go!!!!

    Yea Baby! awesome - let's take it all. Thanks Cole, Ryan and Brad for not having to make us sweat last night. Ryan Madson has become a MANCHILD!

    F-LA - it is so good beating those bandwagon faux celebrity fans. and big fu to Tommy Lasorda - god I hate that guy - take your ass kicking and sit down Tommy!

    I need the week off though, my heart can't take it and I need to get a decent nights sleep! Gonna be insane here next week. Game 3 is going to be insanely loud especially if we take one or two of the 1st two.

    can't wait to see this town if we win it all. i know ill be one of the MILLIONS on Broad Street for the parade if so!

    and props to our Mayor - partying with the people at Chickie's and Pete.

    BRING IT HOME!!!!!

    Playoff baseball is enough to make you go mad. Not only do you go through the emotional highs and lows, you're up every night till frigin 11:30 and draggin ass the next day. I went through the same thing in 2004.

    Congrats to Philly on the win. I will be pulling for you if the Sox can't come back. Philly deserves a World Series win more than the fair weather douche bags in Tampa Bay.

    Just don't burn the city down if it happens.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    This is such a tempting option... I have 3 standing room tickets for Game 5, but then I realized I can't put a price on the experience.

    sure..if you can make $500 + on a ticket I can only imagine...I just wish people understood there are a lot of people out there that can't afford that and would help each other out for the sake of the game and a city which is full of diehards who would kill to be a part of history...i hope he's not going to sell it for max price
