World Series
 
As disappointed as I am about the Red Sox being knocked out, I am still planning on watching the World Series. I would like to see Phili win it as they historically are bigger losers than the Rays. Your thoughts?

I guess the Rays since I pull for the underdog in most cases and they were in last place last year. "Cinderella Story" and all.

Hoping for the Rays since there has always been bad blood between Boston and Philly teams.

Lemme just say I am so happy that the red sox and yankees are both out of it. :D

It is time that both teams faded into oblivion for awhile lol... I bet the Yankees will, but the red sox will probably stay a top tier team for awhile...

In this series I would route for the phils. I think they have earned it and I love an underdog. Plus I want the NL to win...but I won't be sad if either of them win!:tu

I'm pulling for my Phillies!

GO PHILS!!!!!


To be honest, I'm so happy for the Rays and proud of them, just choke please lol.

Re: World Series
 
I really don't care who wins it all, I just hope it is a competitive and exciting Series. I guess if I were forced to pick I would go with the Rays because of the "Rayhawks". :tu

Being a big baseball fan and seeing this thread, I had all kinds of things to say but you summed it up PERFECTLY here in far less words than I could ever condense my post to so I'll just stop now.:D

I was hoping for the drama of Manny Ramirez Vs. The Dodgers.

Philles Vs. Rays? I don't really care, and doubt I will watch any of the Series until one team has 3 wins.

Who is it? That must have been difficult rooting for the White Sox when the Rays played them.

What does he have in that bag, and are the umpires aware of it?

They will keep the Tampa area's streak alive of beating Philly teams on the way to a championship.

Re: World Series
 
Quick question, just started watching the game and noticed the "ray tank" in right-center field that holds 20 cownose rays.

What is someone hits a HR in the tank while a ray is swimming at the top? Has it been done? Just thought about this. I would bet PETA would have a field day with that. (just a hypothetical crazy question)

By the way, UTLEY JUST HIT A 2 RUN SHOT into right field!!!!

My friends were at the game, hardcore Rays fan. One guy has never missed a Playoff game at home...


Since Rays' lost game one 2 hours ago, I'm calling them about every 15 minutes or so to make certain they didn't drive off the sunshine skyway, or into the bay, or something...

What a bizarre finish. Bases loaded, no out swinging bunt against a five player infield. :dance:

That was a pretty insane finish to the game. I hope p-nut wasn't watching!

Re: World Series
 
What a finish last night!

South Philly is going to be insane today, Eagles @ the Linc, Phils at CBP and The Who at the F.U center (ok, ok The Wach). The news said total attendance should be about 105,000!
