Brad Lidge celebrated the first World Series championship since 1980!

Brad Lidge struck out Eric Hinske with an 0-2 slider at 9:58 p.m. last night at Citizens Bank Park to capture the Phillies' first World Series championship in 28 years and second in 126 years.

The 25-year major sports championship drought in Philadelphia is over.

Enjoy it.

The image of Brad Lidge, on his knees with his arms raised on the mound, has now replaced Tugger, LEAPING off the mound with his arms raised. I love Tugger, but I have to say....FINALLY!!! Congrats to our WORLD CHAMPION PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!!!!

Congratulations to Charlie Manuel. So many good moves. Using Ruiz for the whole series, opting for defense and using Feliz so much, picking Jenkins to lead off yesterday, pulling Madson for Romero and then leaving Romero in to face Upton. Charlie Baseball.
