10.16.08 THE PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES
Remember when the bumbling Cubs got swept in the ALDS by the Dodgers? Well, Chicago fans can be even more ashamed of that performance now, because the Phillies finished off L.A. in just five games with last night’s 5-1 victory. Not surprisingly, Manny Ramirez’s solo homer (he hit .520 with 4 HR and 10 RBI in eight playoff games) provided the Dodgers’ only run.
Unfortunately for the Dodgers, Manny is only one-ninth of the lineup at any given time. That may be enough to beat the Cubs, but the Phillies were led by an outstanding pitching staff, most notably series MVP Cole Hamels, who pitched his third playoff gem last night.
Up next for the Phillies: the Rays Red Sox, who ahh gonna win three straight from those Floh-ida homos from Tampon Bay!

“led by outstanding an outstanding pitching staff”
Ah, the rare Ufford proofreading gaffe. Bask in it.
The celebration was short-lived when Jamie Moyer told them young hooligans to keep it down.
Fixed. Seven minutes it lived.
It was a messy celebration when Jaime Moyer mistook his colostomy bag for a rosin bag.
Go ahead, Uff, try your little curse on the Red Sox. They’ve seen better.
That’s the kind of linguistic integrity that keeps me coming back to With Leather. That and the rape jokes.
Yeah, but the article fails to mention that…..
THE PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD GODDAMN SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if the Phils don’t win the series, in a couple years economists will determine that the rapid turnaround of the american economy that will happen next week was caused by millions of Philly fans buying overpriced, gaudy NL championship gear at Modells this weekend.
In all honesty, this has to be one of the greatest days of my life.
Phils going to the series last night, and this morning the ‘ol ball’n'chain informed me that decades of drug use in no way hampered my swimmers and our first child is officially in the oven.
I’m buying a lottery ticket today.
/dick joke.
i really hope they don’t win the series.
then my life would be complete.
kinda.
DEF, now that you are done with your never-ending comments, let’s just hope that you don’t shoot Palin-esque DNA.
Your life is complete by someone NOT winning the World Series? Do intend to die before they have a chance to win next year? Or the year after that? Or is 2008 the special year they’re not supposed to win in order to complete your life?
congrats, DEF. here’s hoping your kid can take a punch.
Congrats, DEF. I remember how happy I was when my first was born without fins.
/really, kids. LSD is good for you.
unbelievable
