the DH is BAD for the AL in the series so im not sure where you are comming from
Re: Who will win the World Series?
This is just silly. Something tells me that this Phillies fan is about 12 years old, and is incapable of an objective look at this subject. I will sum this up, however, and then let it go.
The Rays won 97 games in the best division in baseball, and in a vastly superior league. The Phillies won 92 games in an inferior league. The Phils are a fairly good team. The Rays are a great team. Nonetheless, as many have stated, anything can happen in a short series. The Phillies could win.. it just isnt likely. Have a great WS.

I am not saying that. Philadelphia fans are persecuted nationally for their outward passion.
Actually, I was pulling for the Red Sox. The Red Sox fans and Philly fans get along very well because they love their teams and will defend them to the end. The series here in Philly where thousands of Bostonians come down are like world series games.

Ahh, a paper analyst. I see where your knowledge comes from. While you sit on the bowl and read your blackberry.

Hmmm.... I thought you were letting this go?
Re: Who will win the World Series?
I'm going to let the discussion go, because you are irrational. I just want you to know, I dont have a blackberry. You better get moving, the school bus will be there soon.

And wildly guessing about psychology for analysis is better than "paper analysis" how?

um... no ther are persicuted due to their often mean natue NOT EVERYONE and im not even implying all fans are this way...
The only 2 games I have been to in Philly all I saw was people being dragged out of there by security because they where throwing food/drinks at the fans of the other teams... Cursing even at kids... and dont blame it on drunks because I make it a point to sin in the non-alcoholic section. As I said before this is NOT all philly fans but lets just say... they are known for it. i ahve been to yankke stadium, shea, boston all MANY MANY times, (more than I can count) and have NEVER had stuff thrown at me and I weat a braves t-shirt and cap EVERY TIME I GO.
*side note* I was a little nervous about doing it th game Rocker said he was going to ride the subway tho but actualy we lost the game so the rind home i had to take ribbing from the Mets fans but it was all in fun.

um not sure if you know this but baseball is a game OF STATISTICS. the entire game, matchps, lineups, defensive substitutions, are all managed by statistics, with only a little feeling added in.
Re: Who will win the World Series?
oh... and i am the one who sits on the bowl on my blackburry looking at stats :p give me something to do while i'm well... you knwo... GOING

Taking part in this particular brand of debate/discussion can be tricky.

I often catch myself arguing for the team I want to win, kidding myself that I'm actually arguing for the team I think really will win.
Evidently, that's pretty common.
I want Philadelphia to win.
I think the team from that circus tent they call Tropicana Field will win.
