Highlights From Three Day World Series, Game 5


Highlights From World Series Game:

  1. Shane Victorino's two-run single in the first inning.

  2. Ray's Akinori Iwamura's error in the sixth inning on Jon Werth's pop up to short center with a man on third give the Phillies a 3-2 lead on the bottom of the sixth inning.

  3. Tampa Bay Ray's Rocco Baldelli homer in the seventh tieing at 3 all.

  4. With Ray's Jason Bartlett on second base and two out in a 3-3 game, Akinori Iwamura hit a grounder up the middle. Utley, knowing he had no shot at getting the out on Iwamura, had his sights on Bartlett who was rounding third for the shot to lead the Phillies for the first time in the game. Utley faked to first and made a throw home to Ruiz, who grabbed the throw on a hop and dove back to his right to apply a sprawling tag on Bartlett, who was sliding headfirst into the plate. Umpire Jeff Kellogg made an emphatic call on a clear-cut play. (Might have been the best play of the game.)


  5. In the seventh, Pat Burrell picked the ideal time for his first World Series hit setting the scene for pinch-runner Bruntlett who later scored the winning run of the World Series on Pedro Feliz's tiebreaking single.

  6. Phillies' pitcher Brad Lidge striking out Eric Hinske winning the World Series.
    When Pitching Coach Rich Dubee asked Lidge "Have you faced this guy (Hinske) before?" Lidge response was, "Yah, he waffled a fastball off me."

Top Ten Halloween Costumes for 2008


According to the Chicago Tribune here is a list of the top ten Halloween costumes for 2008:

10. Iron Man
9. Indiana Jones
8. Wall - E
7. Fed Chairmen Ben Bernanke
6. Vince Neil- Motley Crew
5. 300 (inspired warrior)
4. Vampire - Twilight Series (Little C-Man)
3. The Joker
2. Joe the Plumber
1. Sarah Palin


With the presidential election right around the corner the top 1 and 2 slots should come as no surprise. It is also no surprise that Hollywood plays a huge part in Halloween costume options: be it Iron Man, Indiana Jones, Bat Man. Since I am obsessed with the Twilight Series I am also excited to know that Vampires are making a come back.

Here are my top ten Halloween costume predictions for 2008:
  • Michael Phelps (Summer Olympian)
  • Palin, Obama, McCain, Hillary, Bush, and Biden (Presidental Election 2008)
  • Indiana Jones (Movies)
  • The Joker and Batman (Movies)
  • Vampires (Twilight Series)
  • Victorino, Hamels, Moyer, Chase, Burrell (World Series Winners)
  • High School Musical Characters (????)
  • New Kids On The Block (Music)
  • Rachel Zoe, Tim Gunn, Tabatha (Bravo Inspired TV)
  • Paris Hilton (just because she is so cool!!)

Happy Halloween 2008
