Are the Rays going to the World Series?
That's the question on everyone's mind tonight as all of baseball (minus one Red Sox Nation) roots for Tampa Bay, as FOX tries desperately to bribe the Rays into waiting just one more year.
I have heard a lot of comments about how people won't watch a Rays/Phillies WS, and quite frankly, I'm tired of them. Why shouldn't "lesser cities" get to be thrilled that their team made it, and why don't they deserve an audience too?
It's the outcome I want, because I'm tired of the Red Sox. I want Tampa Bay to win tonight and go to the World Series.
However (and it's a big one), nothing is set in stone. Ask the Yankees how they felt about their WS chances up 3-0, and ask Cleveland how they felt about their 3-1 lead last year! Despite two absolutely dominating games in Boston so far, Tampa Bay hasn't won anything yet. There is still one win to go, and the sooner the better.
The Rays send Scott Kazmir to the mound tonight, to a chorus of mixed reviews, since--how do you put this kindly--he's been terrible. Kazmir has only one start over six innings since June 7th; he's prone to throw a lot of pitches, and already this series, he's been lucky that his team bailed him out in Game 2, winning 9-8 in an all-out slugfest in Tampa Bay. Not to mention, in his three starts against Boston since Sept 1, his line looks like this: 13 1/3 IP, 16 ER, 27 walks+hits, 8 HR.
The Rays offense will be matched up against Dice K Daisuke Matsuzaka, Boston's ace, who sure puts a lot of men on base, but somehow doesn't let them score. I'd say he was more lucky than good, but at what point does it stop being luck and start being actual skill? Dice K owns the only series win for the Red Sox; a gem in Game 1 of the series, going 7+, and allowing almost nothing to the powerful Rays' lineup.
Grab your popcorn and settle down tonight--it's going to be a doozy!
GO RAYS GO!!!!

You: Ever heard of copy/paste?

I know it's all about the bias
But the story of the Rays is a lot better than any of the shit that FOX can make (repeat from the last few years) about the Red Sox.
And does anybody else just have that feeling in their stomach that Matsuzaka’s unbelievabely LUCKY season will come to an end tonight. Hey, maybe next year Nibbles will be able to walk five people a game and still do alright.

Which, knowing Kazmir,
should be about 5 innings. He’s really not a #1 at this point in his career – a good pitcher but not a great one.

Hm, McDonald's does that too
although I read that in Fast Food Nation, so it might not be true anymore… I remember there being some big deal about how their fries are not actually vegetarian, so maybe they cut out the whole beef tallow step afterwards.

Cool. I'll add you to the list of Boston ANers.
What city do you work in (if I may ask)?

Ha, definitely
Most nights I watch the Mets game from 7pm-10pm, and then the A’s from 10pm-1am. Baseball has killed any sense of a social life I once had.

it has definitely contributed to mine's demise
of course having plenty of character defects seems to be the primary predication for such circumstances in my case.

Thunderbutt is mine.
Hands off.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Apricot started Thunderbutt.
Apricot started calling him ArakThunderbutt. It stuck.
And while searching, I found The Travis Buck RHC from Cotty.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

Think I should copy this whole In-N-out conversation

they are here in FL. And I've yet to go. They also have Checkers but I've only been there once.
And try to find a decent Mexican place here. They have Cuban, not Mexican. I do miss Texas for that.

Saying how he was one of the architects of the Rays success. He’s an advance scout for the Phillies.
