October 30, 2008; After 28 years, the Phillies finally won the World Series!

I started reading "New Moon" this morning, and I stopped reading right smack in the middle of Chapter 3. And I should admit that the start was thrilling! Woo! Haha! I will continue reading tomorrow morning. And I think I will buy the next 2 books from the series, namely "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn" tomorrow. The fifth book of the saga called "Midnight Sun" is still on the works, so there.

And now, back to business as I bring you guys all you need to know inside the world of sports!
