Champs

A good buddy of mine is a diehard Phillies fan, so I was happy for him that his team won the World Series.

But really, the only reason this post exists is as a vehicle for me to share this, the lead to Jere Longman's New York Times story about the postgame festivities:

PHILADELPHIA – In a place where the glass always seems half empty, finally it has been raised in a Champagne toast to a champion instead of smashed in the heartbreak of drowned sorrows.

Wow. That's like, a triple mixed metaphor, in one sentence! I love it!
