Posted by: IainDaniel

i want philly to win, but think rays in 6 as well



Posted by: ReproMan

Obviously I want the Phillies to win too, but I've got Rays in 5.



Posted by: IronAddict

Just cause I want to see a great series, I'll take the Rays in 7.



Posted by: ReproMan

Well, the Phils did exactly what they needed to do in game one, even without the help of Rollins or Howard. Hamels is nasty.

Same here, it's been a long time for them.

I wonder how much longer before he wants to relocate.

Money Squeeze Play Bedevils Rays


The Tampa Bay Rays have slain the big-market bullies from New York, Chicago and Boston, but the team will soon face a much greater foe.

"The economy could kill us," says Stuart Sternberg, the team's principal owner and a former partner at Goldman Sachs.



Playing with Major League Baseball's second lowest payroll, the Rays owe much of their success to the long-term contracts given to their core of talented young players. The deals will allow the team to keep its top players for several more years, leading many to predict that the Rays could become a dominant force in the game.

But Mr. Sternberg has a problem: The Rays, he says, can barely afford their $44 million payroll with their current attendance, and that payroll is going up. Once the glamour of October baseball fades, the Rays will need to build a stable fan base in a region that has never truly embraced them -- and it must do so during an economic crisis that is worse in Florida than nearly anywhere else........more

I think he's eligible for free agency in 2013.

Gotta be happy about going back to Philly with the series tied up. Although if you looked at the "box" and not at the score, you'd think the Phillies won both games easily.

I think I'm gonna have an ulcer by the end of this series with all of the stranded runners in scoring position.

Phillies were known for chocking on the offense all year

You're right. I don't think they've even had a post-season game where everyone contributed. It's been one or 2 bats that have bailed them out each time. That's why I picked the Rays to win.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, it's 2-1.

........ at 1:47 this morning.

I know!! I said that over in the MMA thread I was torn last night. I couldn't have turned out better than it did.

And you pick of Phils in 5 is looking real good. They win tonight and it's a wrap.

Yeah I went to a bar that had about 10 tvs and they were showing both events. I paying for it today though. I drink way to many long island ice teas and now I can't leave the house. I'm suppossed to go to my grandmothers 75th b-day today. Thats not gonna happen.

Put a fork in the Rays.



Posted by: ReproMan

^^ Yup. That should do it.

Joe Blanton, Phillies rock Rays 10-2, take 3-1 World Series lead


I think they will win one more game.

They did enough for me in their last playoff series.

The way the Phils are swinging the bats right now I just don't see the Rays beating Hamels tonight.

Hamels is pitching? Nevermind what I said.

Yeah that was horrible. I'm a singer, so that was extra painful for me. Backstreet Boys weren't much better.

If Ryan Howard has gotten his stroke back, the Rays have no chance. Plus they have Scott Kazmir pitching and he's been erratic this year.

More importantly, Rollins has his swing back. Kaz seems to have a hard time pitching with runners on base.

Funny how this thread died after that bizarre suspended game last night.

I am not from the Philly area originally (been here 10 years). But damn! if I get up on the roof of my house in Jersey, I can see the Linc and Citizens Bank Park across the Delaware.

A three inning sprint has got to be in the Rays favor.... but this series is OURS!

LET'S GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, the rain stopped about 2 hours ago, but it is windy as hell. Good move to postpone until tomorrow.

The Rays bullpen isn't very good, but with two days of rest, perhaps both teams go with starters?

I'm from Cape May originally, lived in Florida for most of my life but my family wouldn't have me back if I had converted to being a Dolphins/Panthers/Marlins fan. I really want this thing to end tonight in front of the home crowd. Philly faithful deserve that.

People always make fun of New Jersey, it not my favorite place either. But I have always said Cape May is one of the most beautiful places on the entire east coast.


Damn right, the Philly faithful DO derserve this!

It does feel weird. We whooped them too. We usually have to struggle to win anything. Everyone was waiting at Wawa this morning for the paper. It wasn't there yet at 6:45am.
