The Phillies won Philadelphia's first major championship in 25 years last night when they held off the Rays 4-3 in the long-delayed finish of Game 5. As you might imagine, the World Series win set off much jubilation in the City of Brotherly Love.
Here’s some of what our spies overheard during the fans’ postgame celebration:
10. “The streets shall run yellow with Cheez Whiz!”
9. “It’s just like I always dreamed -- winning the World Series against the mighty Rays”
8. “And Pete Rose bet we couldn’t win one without him”
7. “Now let’s go get Sarah Palin for jinxing the Flyers”
6. “Bear with me, this ‘cheering’ crap don’t come natural”
5. “This bonfire has nothing to do with the celebration -- it’s phreaking phreezing!”
4. “This was even easier than beating the Mets”
3. “Can we wake up Charlie Manuel yet?”
2. “Will you folks keep it down? The Eagles are trying to get some rest”
1. “Let’s flip Santa’s sled!”
