It is now 1-1

I would never root for a divison rival in the playoffs. That's why I hope the Phillies win the World Series.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

That is a long standing rule....if it was another NL team from another division, then it's ok to cheer for that team...but I would never EVER root for the Phillies or the Braves.....

perhaps that the case, but Phillies or Braves vs. Yankees? I'm sorry but every self-respecting Met fan I know (and I am related to a bout a dozen of them) would never root for the Yankees no matter who they were playing. Mets fans hatred for the Yankees runs far deeper than the Phillies who have never really been a true rival to the Mets until 2007 because the teams were never usually good at the same time.

 

[BlackLantern]

I wouldn't root for the Yankees....but my baseball hate meter goes as follows
1.Braves
2.Phillies
3.Yankees

Im hoping Boston or Tampa (preferably Tampa) goes to Philly and spanks the Phillies so hard that it gives Charlie Manuel a stroke

2-1 Rays, courtesy of New England boy, Rocco Baldelli. Great to see him playing again, I thought that weird disease was going to end his career

I wish someone would beat up whoever is playing the cowbell.

I wish someone would beat up whoever is playing the cowbell.

Will Ferrell is probably playing the cowbell.

Shoot. I missed all of them today. I saw two in the first half and then missed all the fun.

I'd say someone update me but by the time you all respond it'll be late in the day.

Watch the Sox come back in the 9th to crush the rays hearts.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's amazing how last year most of these Tampa Bay relievers couldn't get an out if their life depended on it.

 

[Panophobia]

David Price... is the mother ****ing man!

 

[Spidey-Bat]

The HP ump must have it out for JD Drew.

 

[Panophobia]

Looked like his bat broke the plate from the replay.

 

[Cmill216]

Tampa Bay!!!!!!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Congrats to the Rays. I'm glad it's them and not the Red Sox. Rays fans deserve this for going through all those losing seasons.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

"filthy" and "nasty" don't do David Price justice.

 

[Cmill216]

A rookie comes in and shuts the Red Sox out of the World Series.

Wow.

 

[Erzengel]

Very exciting game. Congrats to the Rays. What a difference a year makes.

 

[Immortalfire]

Congrats Tampa!

 

[Nightmare]

Hope Tampa wins it all.

 

[FaT_tONle]

[Bunker]

What a series!

 

[Evelisse]

Highly doubt the world series will be good as the Boston/Rays series. Congrat Rays!
