POSTSEASON 2008 (PHILLIES WIN)

This is basically my wrap up of the 2008 post season. The phillies won the world series back in 1980 and they havent won since then, until wednsday night. the phillies won just their second world championship in their 126th year of existance. Game 5 was probably the most bizzare and historic game in World series history. Game 5 started on a nasty monday october 27th. the game wound up being suspended in the bottom half of the 6th inning due to a down pour. The rain was bad enough to suspend the game until Wednsday. This was the first time a world series game was suspended by MLB. That's why it was so bizzare. Cole hamels almost became the first pitcher in postseason history to win all of his starts. The rays tied the game 3-3 and cole hamels gave up the save/opp. Pedro Feliz got the game winning hit. It was a single to shallow center field to score eric brauntlet, an aquired free agent when rollins got hurt in april, making the score 4-3. Brad Lidge came into the game in the 9th and won the game. The phillies became the first team to win all of their home games in the postseason since the 1999 Yankees. The fans of philadelphia no longer had to wait another year for a championship. The city as a whole hadn't won a championship since the 1983 sixers, and the phillies hadn't won a world series since 1980. Both droughts are now over. Over 2,000,000 people flooded the streets of philadelphia for the parade on friday october 31st. The linc and CBP held championship ceremonies where they presented the world series trophy and the players took a lap. Charlie Manuel said that it was the biggest, and the best parade he had ever seen and that he would never forget it. Philly fans can deffinatly say that it was all "werth" the wait. The fans don't have to hold their breaths any longer. They can exhale and say, PHINALLY!
