For the first time since 1980 and for only the second time in franchise history, the Philadelphia Phillies are the world champions of baseball after beating the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, at Citizens Bank Park on October 29, 2008. The Phils won the best-of-seven series in five games.

The victory also gives Philadelphia its first major professional sports title since 1983, when the Sixers won the NBA championship.

Savor this, Philly fans…you deserve this.

And congratulations to Charlie Manuel and the 2008 Fightin’ Phils! Thank you very much for this.

BBC News | David Tennant quits “Doctor Who”

This was inevitable, but arguably the best “Doctor” of them all will be stepping down after a series of specials in 2009.

About a year from now, “Who” fans will be anticipating the most dramatic regeneration scene since Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor changed into Peter Davison’s Fifth Doctor in 1981.

This time, it will be Doctor No. 10’s turn to transform into Doctor No. 11.

Hopefully, David Tennant will go on to be the worldwide star he deserves to be.
