World Series – Phillies, Phillies, Phillies!!!

Congratulations Philadelphia. Your team (finally) did it. After the weather gods did their best to delay your right to celebrate, that time if here — finally. The resumption of Game 5 was about as exciting as a three-plus inning game could’ve been. In fact, the feeling is baseball would have a lot more fans if all games were that short. Armchair analysis aside, it’s your time Philadelphia. Enjoy it.
Some particulars:
Final score of Game 5 – 4-3
Series MVP – Cole Hamels
Final Out – Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske
Game-winning run – Eric Bruntlett (pitch-running for Pat Burrell)
Winning pitcher – J.C. Romero (wicked, wicked double-play)
The celebration parade is set for Friday at noon. Happy Halloween indeed.
