Oct. 31 -- EVERYBODY LOVES A PARADE

BY SCOTT LAUBER

So, the on-field ceremony just wrapped up here at Citizens Bank Park, and without a doubt, Chase Utley stole the show. Soft-spoken (when he speaks) all season, Utley let loose -- and drove the censors crazy -- when he addressed the crowd.

"World champions," he said. "World [bleeping] champions."

Only, on live television, they didn't have time to insert the "bleep."

The crowd went wild. So, too, did Jayson Werth, who stood up and raised his arms. By the way, did anybody else think Werth looked more like the drummer of a rock band than a right fielder?

A few other remarks that caught my attention:

Cole Hamels: "The one thing I can't wait to do is go down to that Broad Street parade again and again and again."

Charlie Manuel (in his best Rocky voice): "Yo, man, we love you."

More later.

Werth played very few games at center field. Maybe thats why he didn't look like a center fielder?
