It's Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies won Game Five 4-3 to win the 2008 World Series over the Tampa Bay Rays.

That picture above is Brad Lidge striking out Menasha, Wisconsin native Eric Hinske for the final out.

Ex-Rattler Greg Dobbs did not play in the game last night, but he gets a World Series ring. Not sure about Tom Gordon, a former Appleton Fox from the days of being a Kansas City Royal affiliate, since he was on the DL, but I'm guessing that he'll get one, too.

Let's start getting ready for '09 right now.

The Phillies won because they had three things essential to the makings of a championship team:

1) A brah-dah from the Islands (Victorino)

2) A Canadian (Stairs)

3) A Former Brewer (Jenkins)

I'm not saying...I'm just saying
