Title: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: StL FinFan on October 29, 2008, 10:03:26 pm My my my it sure is quiet around here.
To quote Sunstroke: Viva National League bitches! Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: MaineDolFan on October 29, 2008, 10:12:47 pm I think the national ratings generally reflect the interest here...not a lot of people cared. Which is really too bad!
Wish it had gone longer. I miss baseball already. Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: Tenshot13 on October 29, 2008, 10:14:52 pm At the risk of sounding bitter (which at this point I don't really care), that was a joke of a world series...for it to be settled the way it was after a delay is pretty shitty...props to the Phillies for being the better team...screw you umps for not doing your jobs very well...I hate the Phillies about as much as I hate the Red Sox now...ugh
Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: MaineDolFan on October 29, 2008, 10:18:26 pm Tenshot13 - you can't not experience true joy as a baseball fan without knowing true pain. Being a fan of a team that has only been around 11 years just doesn't cut it...if you follow my logic. Sure 10 of those years sucked. But the Red Sox have had 10+ bad years in a row, too.
Young franchise in the playoffs? That's pretty special. And now you get to become a card carrying member of a very special club. You're now a fan that has had your heart ripped out in the WORLD SERIES. I know people that are fans of teams that never GO to the World Series. Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: Tenshot13 on October 29, 2008, 10:23:01 pm ^ I understand what your saying and you have validity in it....but it just happened like twenty minutes ago and I'm still pissed...I think the Rays will be back at the dance eventually, it just seemed very lackluster after the ALCS and NLCS for it to end in such a shitty matter...if it was a game played in its entirety in one day then I'd still be a little let down, but not to this extent...it almost feels like a screw-job....well there's always next year :(
Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: MaineDolFan on October 29, 2008, 10:27:17 pm ...well there's always next year :( And now, my friend, you're officially a card carrying member! That is the most painful phrase to utter after a loss like that. I just hope you don't need to go 34 years like I did before a banner is raised over the Trop! Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: Thundergod on October 30, 2008, 02:50:35 am My my my it sure is quiet around here. To quote Sunstroke: Viva National League bitches! Biggest WORD ever. ;D I think the national ratings generally reflect the interest here...not a lot of people cared. Which is really too bad! Why is that? WTF do people want to see? The same F'in teams in the WS every damn year!? There are storied franchises in every sport, if that's all people want to see, then why have all them damn teams, just contract 'em all. pffffff This lack of interest disturbs me. And to quote you, "Which is really too bad!" Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: EDGECRUSHER on October 30, 2008, 03:09:32 am I feel this series was a lot like the 2000 Subway Series in that it ended in 5 games, but it was really competitive. Probably the best series since 2002 seeing as how the last 5 World Series have been sweeps or filled with bad baseball.
Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: YoFuggedaboutit on October 30, 2008, 06:33:05 am Congrats to the Phillies. I'll bet Philly Fin Fan was partying in true fashion last night.

to Tenshot: The phrase "there's always next year" was my standard late September/early October from about 1986 to 2004. For my grandfather, about 1932 to 2004, The Rays will be good again next year and I'm looking forward to the AL East battle. Losing sucks, losing while getting your heart ripped out sucks more, but I can tell you from experience that when you get that championship, when you hear the words that your team is WORLD CHAMPION, it is just all the sweeter Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies!

And to quote you, "Which is really too bad!" Cubs have never been there and if they went you can bet there would be a lot of interest. I just don't think that may folks care that much about those two teams. Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: landlocked on October 30, 2008, 09:43:42 am Congrats to the Phillies!It's nice to see an old baseball guy like Charlie Manuel win one.I'm a National League guy but was pulling for the Rays because of my Florida roots.Congrats to the Rays for such an entertaining story this season,they have a great young team,solid ownership,and they will be back.Time to put baseball to bed until next year......Go Reds!
Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: AZ Fins Fan 55 on October 30, 2008, 12:57:51 pm I personally enjoyed the Series and I was happy to see the Phillies win. Congrats Phills and as for the Rays I would not be surprised to see them back here!!!!!

Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: Brian Fein on October 30, 2008, 01:51:09 pm I'm a National League guy but was pulling for the Rays because of my Florida roots. Me too. That and because the Phillies are poison. I hope next year, it can be the Rays vs the Marlins and we can have like 14 people watch the best world series ever. Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies! Post by: Sunstroke on October 30, 2008, 04:59:54 pm Viva la National League, bitches...indeed. ;D Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies!

LMAO...yea that would be sweet Looking on to next baseball season, I can't wait to see what Price does in the starting rotation Title: Re: Congratulations Phillies!
