RAYS SUCK! GO PHILLIES!

[KIMxJUNGxIL]

The Rays were going to their first World Series EVER. Thats why people were picking the Rays. They kicked ass in the regular season, but they somehow fell apart in the World Series. I tip my hat to the Phillies for winning. Tampa Bay's bats didn't come alive the entire series.

[luigiman153]

you are is a gaywad cuz phillies won the series 4-1 the rays can suck my ballls and the phils are the best they made to 2 world series but lost to the yankees but wob to the rays.

[KIMxJUNGxIL]

@luigiman153 Philadelphia fans are fucking annoying much like yourself. Tampa lost because Phillie had home-field advantage. Fuck you

[ashleyandkristenshow]

i like the phils but i wanted the rays to win cuz there underdawgs

[crazyredlion4500]

Every jerkoff that made a video predicting the world series picked the Rays to win. I hope they all put lots of money on it and lost it!! GO PHILLIES!!!

[dilla45]

I agree...even alot of the espn jerkoffs predicted the rays 2, i think only jayson stark and peter gammons picked the phils.

[mindfreakfan67]

phillies all the way

[drummerstar2]

this world series was so boring, it was the least watched world series ever. i dont blame the people who didnt watch this

[Kittykatbabi93]

HAH! the rays lost. phillies arw world series champs. philly baby <33333 wooooooooooooo!

[MC222]

The rays averaged 16 thousand fans (lowest in baseball) the Phillies averaged 42 thousand (fourth in baseball) why anyone would want that city to win amazes me...Well, I am glad the good guys won - they and the city, deserved it!

[xivitale]

Go Phillies, 2008 World champs.

[michoppy183]

the phillies are the best team in the MLB and the rays suck how can you ruote for them they suck.

[michoppy183]

phillies rule a will go down in histroy

[mindfreakfan67]

[MentalPatience]

GOOD SERIES, exciting as all hell

GO PHILLIES #1  WORLD CHAMPS!!!

[kennygross311]

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

[Vamp1992]

WOOO GO PHILLIES!

[iheaRtcaliii64]

hey you need to quit talking about the phills bullpen. they dont have that great of an offense???????????????????????­????????????? what are you watching gaywad. i mean and talking about the bullpen? brad lidgeee? who actually closed the deal last night. :D IT WAS BRAD LIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! so you might want to check your stats before you ever post something crappy like this again

[jalcaraz1]

phillies should loose the world series just on the basis of having shitty weather. L.A and Angels should play all world series for ever regardless of standings, their the best teams anyway. Luck should not be a free ticket to the world series.

[iheaRtcaliii64]

yeah reall luck to win the world series 4-1. it just sucks that you are an angels fan and they werent in it. angels vs. phills would have made a better world series anyways.

[neetrab]

i don't even know why you wasted your time writing that junk.  the only people that would agree with you are those in l.a. and if that was the case... BORING..

[jonice98]

phillies are number 1!!!!!!!!!

[dilla45]

yeah u like 70% of america were wrong pal, what do u mean we have home field? bandwagoner! better jump off now, cuz 75 wins await your precious rays in 09.

[uncleColty]

well you sure were wrong pal!! Phillies win the 08 world series title!!

[jaceeron1829]

Go Phillies U r #1! You Pick the wrong team Man!

[SJPuleo]

phuck you buddy, phillies took the title

[SteveMarks2217]

[iheaRtcaliii64]

yep your right its over. its over and we have the world champion trophy. but your right it is over til spring training. so see you next season.

[chudmanguy]

[carmelmichel23]

[bobbyd0400]

[sobrien07]

philadelphia all the way

[conor417]

tampa bay aren't even worthy of our greatness. Phillies all the way!!!!Howard, Hamels, and Utley

[Improft101]

the phillies man they are gunna win the whole thing

[Grexed]

why the hell are you talking like this?

[Gaaaaaah76]

This post is for Dontbestupidwithme. Phillies won thier division by 3 games, the Rays by 2, do your homework. People seem to forget about the Phils playing for thier manager, added incentive on such a long drought. And what a feel good story it would be to pull out a win tonight. I'll post you some vids from the parade down Broad St.

[bertmarx]

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[DinosaurJR85]

Phillies have it won...end of story lets celebrate Phils Fans!

[Civic8yourSRT4]

We live and die with these teams with or without wins. Championships or heartbreak games. This Whole city, and the phillies included have the biggest heart in the series to beat the Philly championship drought. Obviously The Rays haven't found a way to stop the homerun powerhouse & cole hammels 3.09 ERA. And inexperience is showing. Example, The phillies winning run was a result of a last ditch effort to carelessly toss the ball over the head of the catcher in game 3.

[Civic8yourSRT4]

And I would like to find you wrong again. The phillies have been starved of anything for 15 years. The rays haven't been in the league for more than 10 years. I'd say Tampa is playing off of luck, and by opposing team mistakes and missed opportunities. The Rays only have bandwagon fans because they have made it this far. Not only Do the Phillies have heart, The whole city has a true heart bigger and beats harder than any other sports city. Be it for the Eagles, Phillies and so on.

[Civic8yourSRT4]

Homefield advantage on the first two games. And the rays were 1-1 at tropicana field. And then you bring it up to philly for three games. I'd say thats homefield advantage my friend. We took 1 game in florida, now we take the 3 games in philly to bring the series to 4-1, series over. I predict it that way why? Our fans are aggressive and stand behind this team 110% We have better players, and more experience. Tampa is young and inexperience, explosive but inexperienced. Series ends in philly!

[niceguy33]

Okay, thats a nice prediction! BUT here's my prediction Tampa wins at least one game in Philly brings it back to Florida and wins their first championship! I dont go by experience, look at the Red Sox they were experienced and lost to the Rays, so experience is just an excuse! I go with a team with heart and determination and the Rays have that, the Phillies dont!

[missyzm24]

The Phillies don't have heart? Obviously you have not watched them play! No matter what the score is in any inning they NEVER give up! I have not seen a team like that in years! They win as a TEAM and lose as a TEAM, and in this case they WON! World Series CHAMPS!!!! In the Words of Utley "World Fucking CHAMPS" No one could have said it better!

[idomanlythings]

why do ppl always call the rays the cinderla story??? they've had the 1st overall for like a million years. im not surpised that there here at all.

[niceguy33]

What are you talking about? The Rays were in last place last season and this season came out of nowhere, They have never been to the playoffs and there first time in make it to the World Series, Hollywood couldnt have written it better!

[GameICY]

Old man Moyer outpitched the choked Garza for the 1st WS win at home. Phillies will win in Philly.

[99minerkc]

GO PHILLIES!!

[jeremyud]

No city would appreciate a championship better than Philadelphia.

So go Phillies!!!

[manateeman8]

fuck the rays go phils go cole

[STEVEBOMB1]

look the rays came all this way

from being just about the worst

team to the best team. now they

are the 2nd least payed team in

the league. i believe it will

come down to game 6 rays win it

4-2 series at the trop.

[DinosaurJR85]

Phillies in 7

[taylordurocher3591]

Rays are gonna win. Fuck whoever said that the Tampa fans don't deserve it.

[niceguy33]

Well, the Phillies havent won in 28 years and the Rays have only been in the league for like 10 years. But all together whoever is more hungry for it is more deserving of it!

[dontbestupidwithme]

true

[Dallasblows20]

wat im tryin to say is that, you guys showed up with 15000 fans in the regular season a game. now your sellin out. Which I read 70 percent of them are yanks sox and phils fans, but thats just what i heard. You probably are a good fan, like me, your sticking through thick and thin, but im just sayin we sold out 50 times this year, and i think were more hungry. Good for you if they win it, but some of those phonys should share in the celebration.

[Dallasblows20]

excuse me i meant should NOT

[Dallasblows20]

By the way, as a diehard philly fan. I can honestly say tampa bay fans dont deserve it. They have not been what we have been through and even when there team is winning, they only show up with 15000 people. I dont care how hot it is in tampa, we would sell out if it was hailing in 0 degree weather. Maybe there team deserves it, but i question their fanhood

[niceguy33]

Excellent point my friend!

[neetrab]

dude,u literally took the words right out of my mouth.i said the same exact thing in the other posts.the rays players & org. deserve to win but their fans definately dont.i will use jimmy rollins words and say they are the true frontrunners.they only come out when their team starts winning.10-15,000 in the seats all season.then they make the postseason,all of a sudden they love the rays?give me a break.you know how many losing seasons the phillies had?philly still had butts in the seats.

[niceguy33]

I would totally agree!

[iheaRtcaliii64]

the name says it all :D dallas does blow :D

[Dallasblows20]

im a phils fan and i agree with most of the things you said. However, i do hope the phils win. If you watch the game they have not been playing good baseball at all this postseason. The pitching has saved them and they have had alot of miracle plays. I believe the rays will win in a tough game 2 but once they come to philly, they will lose (knock on wood). Philly is a tough place to play and we dont stop until the final out.

[niceguy33]

I totally agree that Philly is a very difficult place to play and the Rays if they are going to win have to bring their A game! If the Rays do win at least 1 game in Philly home advantage goes back to the Rays, so we will see what happens!

[neetrab]

Um u should keep your point that the rays gave us a game 2 make us feel confident.r u serious?!is that the best u can come up with?lets say thats true,that may come back to haunt them.& again, the red sox werent the same team from last year.& your offense over ours??dude r u high on crack?i dont remember your team having 4 mvp caliber players.& yes we r n the nl,so obviously we felt we'd have a good opponent coming from the al east.WRONG!u lost home advantage.u will lose & lose convincingly.

[niceguy33]

Your very passionate about baseball, aren't you? Well, thats good man, baseball is awesome. We're just going to have to see what happens!

[neetrab]

actually i'm a woman. for some reason when i get online to talk sports people assume i'm male and not female. funny. i just love my philly teams thats what my point is.... i guess.

[niceguy33]

I'm sorry, that was a bad assumption on my part. It's good to see someone passionate for their city and team!

[neetrab]

phillies in 5.

[niceguy33]

WOW, really? Well, I guess its possible!

[iheaRtcaliii64]

wow you were exactly right.

phillies=WORLD CHAMPS.

[drummerstar2]

rays are gunna win the world series in 6

[niceguy33]

Yeah buddy!

[DinosaurJR85]

Phillies and Boston would be history fuck Tampa Bay and Dodgers

[niceguy33]

LOL!

[DinosaurJR85]

whats funny?

[duuoode]

Tampa Bay in 6

I go 4 the Rays

[niceguy33]

Good call!

[dontbestupidwithme]

Dodgers and Rays would be more exiting

but the rays are cool too

i would be routing for dodgers but since Phillies made it im wit da Rays. Its so aviouse Rays would win since they were doing so much better than phills.and phills barley made it threw the regular season standings.

[neetrab]

how can you back up your comment of saying the rays are playing much better than the phillies?? we are 20-5 in the last 25 games.. then last night we beat your rays... the score should have been at least 10-2.. AT LEAST..

[dontbestupidwithme]

im not really a rays fan or just to tell u im just sayin rays might beat phills dats all

[niceguy33]

I'm not a Rays fan either man. I'm a Yankees fan but because my boys didnt do it this year, I have to route for the American league, so I hope the Rays do it. It would be pretty cool to see them win their first championship!

[UFfan85]

GO RAYS!

[UFfan85]

I got the Rays in 7.

[niceguy33]

Yeah buddy!

[EricLesher]

Hello good sir, thanks for uploading this. I am rooting for the rays too:). They have never been to a world series let alone won it. If they win I beilive the heart of American baseball will beat once more. Glad that you are supporting the rays as well. So how bout that Matt Garza?;)

[niceguy33]

Yeah I love routing for the underdog. I would love to see history by watching them win their first World Series. Matt Garza has been awesome! He is some pitcher. Its going to be interesting to see how he does against the Phillies offense! Thanks for the comment man!

[Joebowled242]

wat do you people have against philly?...im hoping for the phillies but i think its going to be a great series; maybe 6 or 7 games. Its all gona come down to who wants it more: a team whos looking for its 1st ever world series or a team whos hasnt won a world series in almost 15 years. Lets play ball!

[niceguy33]

No, I dont have anything against Philly. I think they are a great team, I just think that Tampa is a little bit stronger. I do agree it will go 6 or 7 games, I think 7!

[neetrab]

the phillies haven't won in 28 years dude. we went and lost 15 years ago in 93'.

[niceguy33]

I understand that, but no Philly team in any sport has won in 25 years last time was 83 the sixers won! Yes, I remember 93 world series! The phillies had some team with John Kruk, Lenny Dykstra and so many more. That year you should have won and beat the Blue Jays!

[robohobobaseballseth]

I stopped at "hey, how you doin"...don't try.

[philliesMVP616]

The phillies don't have that great of a lineup? Yeah only 4 MVP caliber players almost all are All Stars. Please next time, try not and be so biased.

[boognish94]

I'm not a baseball fan but I'm pulling for Tampa because I don't want ANY team from Filthydelphia to win any kind of championship

[settyman]

tampa in 7 mvp will be carlos pena

[niceguy33]

Wow, that would be awesome if it goes 7. Carlos Pena as MVP, okay I can see that happening!
