All Hail...

[o-man]

...your 2008 National League East Division champeens, the Philadelphia Phillies.

Brad Lidge did his best to postpone the coronation, but in the end, he got the third out, his 41st save of the year (41 out of 41!) and now we'll see about the playoffs...

Go Phils!

We watched the game with TLAF.

We realized we didn't have rally towels so I took three paper towels, drew the Phillies "P" on them with red Sharpies.

We waved them. We had fun.

After the game, the kids across the street ran out of the house and started honking horns.

Brad Lidge did his best ...

...to sabotage the Phightin's first postseason win in 15 years, but the Brew Crew whiffed on just enough of Lidge's 30-plus pitches in the top of the ninth.

If the Phillies' offense can awaken tomorrow vs. CC Sabathia (where's the miracle there, right?), this series is over.

Keep going, Phils!

...the Phightin' Philz again for their NLDS win over Milwaukee.

Now for the Dodgers. The household here will be divided. I have to fend off two native Angelenos. I am the lone Philadelphian/South Jerseyite. I will bring the One-Eyed Pug over to the red side of the house to even things up.

Go Philz! Howard/Utley '08! Hamels/Golson '12!

This article brought back good memories, and serves as a fitting backdrop for the 2008 NLCS, which begins tomorrow (Thursday).

...your 2008 National League pennant winners, the Philadelphia Phillies!

On to the World Serious (as Bugs would say)!

Go Phils! Hamels/Rollins '08!

...your 2008 World Series Champions, the Philadelphia Phillies!

Yea, verily! Hallelujah! The progression of this thread is complete. On to Tuesday...

Hamels/Lidge '08!
