Oh Yea...Philadelphia Won the World Series

Has there been a more unmemorable World Series in recent years than the one witnessed this past week and a half?

Okay, maybe no one remembers the White Sox/Houston World Series either, myself included (and I'm from Chicago!) but I mean, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay? Really?

Bad umpiring, bad weather and bad play don't really add up to much of an October classic thriller.

It would have at least been bearable to watch if the Rays had made a series out of it instead of an all too familiar collapse of a team that dominated during the regular season. (Yes I'm still bitter over my Cubbies)

A Rays win yesterday surely would have sparked the interest of uninterested fans around the country because after all were they not the team everyone not a Philly fan was rooting for?

The Rays, the over achieving, second to last in payroll, Tampa Bay Rays, could have made something of this series. Instead we're left with an MLB Word Series Champion that not many people will remember in a couple of years.

Having said all that, Congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies.

World Series kicks off tonight

I say



take it in seven games.

Da Raise

Payroll rank: 29/30
2007 record: 66-96 (30/30)
200-1 odds in Vegas that they would win it all.

It's going down in T-town.

My prediction: Rays win the series 4-2, Upton wins MVP of the World Series.

I, like most of America, would have been pissed had the Red Sox pulled off another miracle comeback in a seven game series. The first one was great because it was against the Yankees and they had fun guys like Damon and Manny. The second one was remarkable (last year against the Indians) but this year their team is boring and smug and no one really likes them outside of Boston.

Go Tampa, go.
