what train are you rolling on?  We're thinking about hopping on the R2 in newark, de then taking that to the R1, and from what i can tell on Septa's site(which just crashed  ) then to 30th street, then the Orange express.  Ive never ridden the train from down here up to philly.

After it happened, Philadelphia celebrated. As the party raged on the field, two policemen led a handcuffed man down the tunnel outside the Rays clubhouse. He had tried to run onto the field. His best excuse: "They did it in '80." That likely will not hold up in court, though judges sympathetic to Philadelphia's plight may be lenient.

"People here don't forget," Utley said. "They die by their sports."

So the sight of the championship trophy being passed from Rollins to Brett Myers to Jenkins to Utley to Greg Dobbs to Joe Blanton to Scott Eyre to Ryan Howard caused cheer after cheer. Outfielder Shane Victorino's father, Michael, pranced around the field handing out leis straight from their native Hawaii, taking explicit pleasure in crowning retiring Phillies general manager Pat Gillick. Teammates dug up the pitching mound for Jamie Moyer, and Howard took a lap around the stadium with a Phillies flag, and So Taguchi's wife, Emiko, a Japanese TV host fluent in English, spoke for everyone when she said: "Let's get drunk tonight!"

So they did, Rollins the leading mouthpiece. He still was chirping an hour after hoisting the trophy, finally getting to his 43 awaiting text messages and reading one out loud, from Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb: "Congrats, my dude. The streets is hot. Enjoy it for ya boy. We up next."
