WOO! HOO! That was a nail biter! I am getting too old for this kind of excitement!

You shouldn't be yelling in the house so late at night.

Great game.

------------------

Growing up in a house full of boys my mom had to endure the yelling and screaming of sports fans. On the warm days when the doors and windows are open she hears me yelling during Monday Night Football in my house......

During half time I'd trip over to her place and after a stern warning about "making noise at night", she asks....
"Who's winning?"

When I get too exuberant watching sports on TV I end up freaking out the cats.

Then there was the night the Red Sox won the Series in 2004. My husband had gone to bed at 10pm. So, of course, when the bottom of the 9th rolls around, I opened up the bedroom door and told him he simply had to get up. Then I went back and turned the sound waaaay up.

MY RBGF was a HUGE football/Rams fan. She also liked her manicures.

She got to see the Rams win the SuperBowl and I got to see the scratches on my arms heal up nicely during the off season.

WOO! HOO!

The game ended before midnight, are you happy?

ECSTATIC!!! I must confess that I fell asleep before the end this time. After staying up until after 2:00AM on Sunday morning and then getting up at 7:00AM to let the dogs out I pretty much knew at the beginning of the game that I wasn't going to make it all the way through. I had a good feeling about it as I dozed off though. Yesterday in church our pastor said to expect to see him in full Phillies gear in the pulpit after they win! ONE MORE GAME TO GO!!!!

P.S. What was particularly nice about this game was that Ryan Howard "got his groove back."

Ahem,

Using divine intervention isn't really in the rules.

But to see a pastor in his Sunday Finest, should be a treat!

We thought it was amusing that he said AFTER they win instead of IF they win. Wonder if he got a tip from up above.

Not so fast....

What kind of connection does he have with Mother Nature?

[Grace]

That game should have been stopped a long time ago. It was insane that they were playing in those conditions. The umps should be made to sleep on the field for the night.

Fortunately, no one got hurt.

GO PHILLIES!!!! I was so excited when they won.

I was over my aunt's house (she lives in Philly) to watch the game. And right when the last batter striked out, people ran out their houses and celebrated. I never saw people act so crazy. But everyone had fun.

I was going to go to the parade, but unfornatly school is open and I can't afford to miss another day.

Woo-hooo the Phillies are the best!!!

I'm happy that the Phillies won the World Series. At least the championship is in Pennsylvania. One of these days the Pirates will make it to the Series, too!

[Pam]

I'm watching the parade now. Roughly 2,000,000 people are said to be along the parade route! My son's company offered all employees to leave now to avoid gridlock traffic later - to either go to the parade or go home - whatever. He thought about it for a minute and decided to head for home. Traffic is no fun on a normal day, let alone this day!
