Voltron Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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.
n_maher Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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.
hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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.
n_maher Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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. Uh, dumbass, we won the world series last year. We haven't been suffering for any length of time.
hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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?"
grawk Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 so are you a pompous elitist ass about everything? Not just politics and music?
grawk Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 I'm a mets fan, you were whining about bandwagon fans, the mets weren't involved.
hungrych Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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)
Voltron Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report 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.
Aura Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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.
laxx Posted October 15, 2008 Report 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.

Voltron Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Posted October 15, 2008 If he is good without being a dick all the time, and especially if he cuts that hair and gives up his signature doo-rags, maybe.
deepak Posted October 15, 2008 Report Posted October 15, 2008 Ah yeah pretty bummed about the Sox, who knows what's going on \
UWisconsin77 Posted October 16, 2008 Report 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.
n_maher Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 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).
SDM Posted October 16, 2008 Report 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. From a long time Red Sox fan, hopefully the Rays have nothing more left in the tank.

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.
UWisconsin77 Posted October 16, 2008 Report 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!?
SDM Posted October 16, 2008 Report 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.
NightWoundsTime Posted October 16, 2008 Report Posted October 16, 2008 Yet another Tampa team that I don't give a crap about. You won't see me on the fan bandwagon any time soon.
Knuckledragger Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Gah, the Rays are killing the Sox. I can't watch.
Hopstretch Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 Yeah, we won't be able to claim they squeaked by us, that's for sure. Oh well, anyone but the Phils.
n_maher Posted October 17, 2008 Report Posted October 17, 2008 I'd actually prefer a beat down to losing a game 7.
