EyeSeeU Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 So on Wednesday when the Tampa Bay Rays host the Philadelphia Phillies a long and grueling series will then commence. I forsee this perhaps going the seven game distance, although I wouldn't mind seeing the Phillies win it faster. I am very happy that the Rays beat the Red Soxs because quite frankly Boston doesn't need anymore championships! No offense! So what are your thoughts on this match up and whom do you think is going to take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gradrel Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think it's a pretty decent match up... I would, however, like to see the Rays take out the Phillies in 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EyeSeeU Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Do you both not follow baseball? Have you not seen the Phillies bullpen? Do you not realize the Phillies are 86-0 when leading after eight innings this year? Do you not know that Brad "Lights Out" Lidge hasn't blown a save all year, including the playoffs?

Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Did you watch last year's Super Bowl? Did you not realize one team was undefeated and set all kinds of records for points? And what happened? I look for the Rays to surprise and win it all.

EyeSeeU Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Football is way different then baseball, so don't even begin to compare the two, sure the Rays can suprise the Phillies but that would only be good for a one game series like football playoffs. However this series is seven games. You see if the superbowl was a best of three series the giants would have lost the next two games. Rays are awesome I love them, but they are also very very young, and youth will break you eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 My analogy was not not to compare the two sports (or the way they handle playoffs/championships), but to demonstrate what can happen when people start to bandy about the "there's no way they lose!" type of statements. Also, if you want a baseball comparison: '88 Dodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Nobody is giving the Phillies any shot which is sad, and thats my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iusedtobesomebody Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 You asked. Heh. Phillies have a very good team, but I think Rays are hungrier. All they need is one spark a la Kirk Gibson off Eckersley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Wow! I love the Phillies! Even when I am in New York going to the Coheed and Cambria Neverender Evening I show and can't watch them... they still win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I think I lost a lot of respect for baseball on monday. Making both teams play in what was the worst weather I seen baseball played in ever. So as I make the trek down into the heart of Philly for the 3 1/2 innings that are left to be played in a 2-2 game, I will be thinking to myself once again my city gets shafted. It just better not cost us the series. To Bud Selig "thanks" I got this long middle finger I'm waiting to flip you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
