The Phillies have done it!

Though Mr. Doodlebug has been a Phillies fan his whole life I only really became interested in their doing well when baby Doodle started showing intense interest in the team. So I was thrilled, not quite as thrilled as Mr. D, but thrilled nonetheless, that the Phillies won the league championship last night and are going to the World Series. I have to say, they are an impressive team. They don't rely on one or two key players to succeed, they really all contribute in one way or another. I've been impressed by Shane Victorino, who when we went to Flyin' Hawaiian day at the ball park over the summer seemed to be in a slump (I gathered this from Mr. D's yelling at him during the game, saying things like c'mon!). Jayson Werth is definitely the hottest and good at baseball too. Chase Utley's not bad either, on both counts.

Baby Doodle was very excited this morning to learn that the Phillies won. He threw his hands up and yelled, "the Phillies winned." He LOVED the pictures of them in the paper. Here are two shots of him admiring them.

I hope they can pull it off and win the whole damn thing. How excited baby Doodle will be to go to the parade.

That is the Phillie Phanatic on his shirt.
