Phillies Phandango

PHINALLY! ........PHILS WIN!....... PHILS WIN!..... PHANS EXHALE.....

In the most exciting 3-inning baseball game ever played, the Phillies edged the Rays 4-3 to win the 2008 World Series. The Phils' victory in Game 5 capped their incredible 11-3 postseason run including an undefeated (7-0) post-season record in front of the home crowd Phans. Truth is, in this final game at home, the long-suffering, loyal and loud Phans willed this team to victory. No way these Phans would let their team go to Tampa without them to finish the business of this World Series. And so, on this cold night in October, the losing-est franchise in baseball history was crowned its World Champion.

Phillies claim first title since 1980

In one of the strangest endings to a baseball season in history, the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series tonight by outlasting the upstart Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 in the completion of a Game 5 that started more than 72 hours earlier. The rain that had kept the teams off the field since Sunday night was gone along with the majority of the wind, but the chill remained as Philly stepped to the plate in the bottom of the sixth with the game tied at two and the franchise's first title since 1980 in sight. The teams traded runs before Pedro Feliz' one-out RBI single in the bottom of the seventh gave the Phillies a 4-3 lead they'd never relinquish. Appropriately it was Brad Lidge - who didn't blow a single save all season - that struck out Rays pinch-hitter Eric Hinske to put an exclamation point on Philadelphia's long-awaited championship season.
