CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!

The sports gods where finally, finally, after twenty five long years, smiling down on the beautiful city of Philadelphia!!! Philadelphia has not seen a major sports championship in twenty five years, and the Phillies last night won their fist world series championship in twenty eight years, and for me the moment could not have been any sweeter! When the Phillies first made the playoffs this year, like always I was very hesitant about their chances of winning it all, just because of our past twenty five years of failures and misery! But as they kept wining and wining, my belief and hope grew and grew. By the time the world series rolled around, I felt a sense of confidence that I had never felt about a Philadelphia team that had made it to a championship. I really felt that they could win it, but I also wanted to stay grounded and not get my hopes up to much. But believe it or not they started wining. They started out by splitting the first two games in Tampa, and then when they went back to philly they went up 3-1 in the series! I couldn't believe it, it was here, there was no way they were going to blow it this time. The championship was ours. Then Monday was game five and we were all together to watch the clinching game, and everything was going right until it started to rain. It started raining harder and harder, and then Tampa Bay came back to tie it in the sixth inning and then they suspended the game! And they didn't restart the game until wednesday night! And during all that time we were all thinking "oh no, here we go again!" But sure enough this team was a team of destiny, and tore down the past twenty five years of misery and became world champions!!! It was the greatest feeling in the world! It was everything that I expected it to be, and we are now world champions! Megan and I watched and celebrated this game with family. Scott my older brother and his wife and little kids were there, and my younger Dan was there as well. What a great night, one that we will never forget!
