A very short and straight question: I want to catch the error using try..catch and log it into a file. Is this possible in SQL Server 2008?
Any directions, help are welcome.

Yes, you can.
Just implement try catch as it's described here TRY...CATCH . Error logging can be logged either in application or in sql by writing errors to a table.
If you want to log into a file, you can do that using SQLCLR. Check the answer here

Why the downvote? The only answer, that brings an example of writing to a file using sqlclr. – hgulyan Jan 16 '12 at 18:31

View the SQL Server error log by using SQL Server Management Studio or any text editor.
By default, the error log is located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and ERRORLOG.n files.
Go through Viewing the SQL Server Error Log page

Like this, not exactly to file, but to eventlog, I think writing to file is only possible with CLR procedure:
BEGIN TRY
Do some error
END TRY
Begin CATCh
Declare @error nvarchar(max) = error_message()+' your data'
exec master..xp_logevent 50001, @error, 'error'
--Notify host application
RAISERROR(@error, 16, 1)
END CATCH
