Phillies' second baseman Chase Utley addressed the crowd at the conclusion of the team's championship parade in South Philadelphia on Friday with a few choice words. Utley began his short speech by saying, "World champions!" He then paused, turned to some teammates, then, showing a sense of awe and a huge grin, added, "World [Flippin'] champions!" "They said they wanted short and sweet," Utley said afterward. "That was short and sweet." Utley's teammates almost didn't know how to react "Honestly, I don't know how to follow up Chase," Jimmy Rollins said. "I wasn't stunned. I didn't expect it, not in this environment. Everybody knows Chase's personality. Chase finds a way to steal the show." "He may be a man of few words, but in those few words, he has a knack for getting his point across," Greg Dobbs said. "As brash as it seems, it was fitting. That's how we all felt. He just kind of let that out." Manager Charlie Manuel played down Utley's comment. "Chase is good, real good," Manuel said. "That's a common word anymore. ... That's not that bad, is it?"
