I read TB did a pretty good turn around this year, I'll root for them.

The Phillies are just slightly less effeminate than the Rays, so "Go slightly less gay team from the City of Brotherly Love!".

PS: Florida sucks. And not just the team, the whole state.

PPS: I'm still rooting for the Angles.

Tampa Bay did have an amazing start, and than an abysmal game 5 and 6. Game 7 was quite solid though.

Phillies just blasted through LA like no-one's business, and while a Joe Torre + Manny Ramirez Dodger vs. Boston World Series would have been fun to watch, I much prefer these two teams battling it out.

Bookies have Tampa Bay wining it, and that's the way I bet this year. I believe this is the first time I've ever bet on the favored team in my short sports betting career. Though, I'd really like to see Philly win it, I think Tampa Bay is on too hot a roll right now.

Don't forget that AL >>> NL, pretty much in general.

I dunno. After reading this, I'm not so sure I want the Phillies to win anymore.

I hope the Phillies win cause the Rays beat my Sox but I dunno if they can stand up to the Bullpen of the Rays.

Phillies have the silliest mascot in the game, Philly Fan himself sucks, but at least he's awake.

And there you have it.

Sometime in the Championship series', I bet that it'd be Phillies in 5, but after watching the final games I changed my mind. Good show regardless.
