World Series Champions!!!

Can you believe it? Here, in Philadelphia, the Phillies WON THE WORLD SERIES last night! It's been 28 years since the other time they won, and 25 years since any of our four sports teams won a championship. Maybe the Philly curse has been broken! I don't really know what else is going on in the world, since all the news talked about this morning was the new favorite team of Philadelphia, but does it matter? WE WON!!!! Maybe there really COULDN'T be a building in Philly taller than William Penn! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read about it)

Go Phillies!

I must say, I'm impressed. I'm not going to say I think they might possibly be able to win the World Series, because, even though they are 3-1, this IS Philadelphia and we're really good at choking at the last minute. But hey, if there's a team to break the Philly curse, I'm going to put my money on the Phillies. Even Keith and Henry are fans (but they haven't seen a game - the games START after bedtime!). Heck, the games start after MY bedtime - I am dragging these days! I hope they can wrap this series up tonight, because I don't know how many more nights I can stay up to watch!

World Series, here we come!

Bet you never thought you'd see THAT as a blog post from me. I'm not what they call a baseball fan. I'm more a football kind of girl, myself. More action, people running into each other on purpose... yeah. Baseball is kind of, I don't know, slow. But you won't believe what happened last night. I WATCHED THE GAME. Like, almost all of it. I'm still a politics girl, so I had to keep flipping back and forth to the debate, but the game won out for more time. I'm not going to start on my thoughts about the debate. Or politics. But anyways, the game. It was actually, I don't know, interesting! I couldn't switch back to the debate a few time because I was so into what was going to happen in the game! (yes, feel free to faint now, Jess. I know you want to). So, I watched the whole thing, right up until that catcher dude caught the ball and took the Phillies to the World Series. About damn time! Now, I'm crossing my fingers that they don't follow in the Eagles footsteps and can keep it together for four more games.
And, I think I love that Valentino guy. Er, whatever his name is.
