    Did anyone notice the weird comparisons to the 80 team?

    1. The last time we won it was '80 it is now '08

    2. The pitcher on the mound in '80 at the end was Tug McGraw (45) the picther on the mound in '08 was Brad Lidge (54)

    3. Both won at home. Both by strike out.

    This is awesome. I just read that Jamie Moyer took the pitching rubber from the mound.

    Yeah it was awesome watching him and the grounds crew dig it up.... the HOF actually wanted the rubber but Moyer said it was his...
    This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

    Social awareness does not equal political activism!

    5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.

    That's really cool about Moyer.

    I can't believe I'm awake and at work.

    I need a new cell phone as my phone last night was pretty much destroyed by people pouring champagne in the streets. Oh well, it was definitely worth it.

    Parade starts at 20th & Market to City Hall, down Broad and then to the Sports Complex. They haven't said where it's officially going to end, but it sounds like The Bank.

    Solat, my sentiments exactly.

    Most likely. It's too bad JFK is no longer around. Many more people could fit in there than at the Bank.

    A few notes from yesterday

    Well, yesterday was just an awesome day. Got done work at 5, had an impromptu dinner at Criniti's(if you don't know this place - get there! It's sooo fucking good), some beers in the parking lot, and onto the game. The coolest thing of the whole game was seeing the same familiar faces in my section from Monday night and it was like everyone was a family and everyone was asking how everyone's been since two nights ago. At the end of the game everyone were shaking hands and hugging and all said, "I'm glad I got to see this game with you guys." That was so cool to hear everyone saying that to each other. Everyone booing Selig when he was handing over the trophy was unreal. Hearing 46,000 people singing "We Are The Champions" was even more surreal. Ummm what else.... The whole place was just electric...Everyone chanting "Bal-Four..Bal-Four!" was amazing...
