Voltron Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I am more than happy that the Phillies are giving the Dodgers a drubbing, but a Phillies-Tampa Bay world series would be massively ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 My guess, they battled injury and an asshole named manram all year and in the end they're spent and their pitching shows it most of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Now all those poor long suffering Sox fans who have suffered since October 04 can become long suffering Rays fans I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, dumbass, we won the world series last year. We haven't been suffering for any length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm just mocking all the bandwagon Red Sox fans who've popped up in the last few years. If the Rays end up winning the WS there's no doubt a mob of Rays "fans" will be unleashed upon the world of baseball who stare confusedly when someone mentions the "Devil Rays?"

hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Sorry, I just find the idea of there being lots of Rays fans hilarious. (and I'm still bitter at the stupid Phils fans who appear out of nowhere this time of year to talk shit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 You're right Nate, they seem tired as hell and the lopsided pitching staffs right now is killing them. Good to see the ManRammer is getting Dodger Blue Balls wishing he could go to the WS and show up the Sox. Small consolation. I think it is even funnier that there won't be any hordes of Rays fans. I hope that wasn't too elitist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 As a Cubs fan, nothing would surprise me anymore. At least the Sox gave it run. And yeah, fuck Manny. Damn the guy is a good at-bat, but watching him rip up Cubs' pitching leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxx Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 As a Mets fan and a New Yorker (if the Mets don't win, then I root for the Yankees), boo to Boston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UWisconsin77 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Simple : Rays have a better team this year than Boston. I mean 3-straight 9+ run days in a row, isn't a fluke. You can't win every year. BTW I'm about 45-minutes from the Tampa stadium and have been enjoying lower-level seats all year long for $20. Can't beat it. On the contrary, I cheered and cheered for the BOSox when they play the Yanks. I hate the Yanks worse than any other team in the MLB. However I am no BOSox fan at all. Hell, I wouldn't even call myself a Rays fan; it's just cheap entertainment. This is the year for the Rays.. just accept it and hope you can do better next year.

No doubt that right now the Rays the better team, but as their regular season records hint it should have been a closer series (not that it's 100% over yet).

Right. And I was hoping it would be, but it still has potential to be a closer series. I sure hope it goes to game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UWisconsin77 Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 From a long time Red Sox fan, hopefully the Rays have nothing more left in the tank. The biggest question is: Do the BOSox have anything left in the tank!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 The biggest question is: Do the BOSox have anything left in the tank!? Unfortunately, I can't answer that question, but what I can say is that the Sox are no strangers to being down 3 games to 1 in the ALCS.
