The wait is over. 3 days for 9 innings and 28 years since the last title- in front of 44,000 fans, the Phillies win, closing out with Brad Lidge who kept the Rays from scoring in the 9th, although they never gave up to the end.
The Phillies are the 2008 World Series champions. And it was so cool, after Lidge finished the game, the entire team jumped on top of him-- and a Deaf fan signs with joy after the win in the video below..
The victory parade will be Friday at noon. It will start at 20th and Market Streets and travel south down Broad Street ending at the sports complex.
[image description: The Phillies 2008 World Series Champions hat is shown. It has a black background, white striped piping on the beak and up toward the top. The Phillies letter P is on the front, red background, the P in white, surrounded by the year 2008. Above the P it reads World Series Champions.]

Glad your Team won!
Thanks, Greg :)
Go Phillies! Pretty impressive World Series run losing only one game too.
Top video is no longer available - I presume YouTube got a copyright complaint from Fox.
But MLB has a higher quality clip anyway:
