My team wasn't even expect to be .500 and yet are the AL champs. They managed to win a division that has 2 teams that spent a combine 1/3 of a BILLION $$$ and yet only had a $44 mil payroll. They had the most wins by any team that had finished with the worst record the year before in HISTORY. So they didn't win the top prize neither did 29 other teams. At least thay had the chance and by ANY measure their season was HUGE success. The thing about fans form Filthadelphia is that they think they kick the Rays asses. Sorry 3 wins were by ONE run. So in other words this series was VERY close to being 4-1 with the RAYS winning. So yes Phillies fans be happy, but be CLASSY.

I'm sure this takes the sting of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers denying you a trip to SB 37( the Bucs WON that SB ) and the Tampa Bay Lightning denying you a chance to play in the Stanley Cup Finals( Tampa won that too ). So I guess 2 out of 3 aint bad for Tampa vs Philly.

You know what? I am more than happy to allow the Philly fans to enjoy their moment in the sun. It just comes off as sour grapes. I haven't talked to anybody from back home that didn't tip their hat to the Rays. It is just years and years of frustration spilling out. Deal.
