as you know, i love baseball. and despite the b-list headliners of this year's fall classic, i'll be watching every game. plenty of reasons to watch, not the least of which to root, root, root against the hated phillies and their fairweather, bandwagon fans.
granted, the rays were a team that could barely attract 10K people even earlier this season and now fill their awful domed stadium with bandwagon hangers-on. but philadelphia fans are different. they come out of the woodwork every time a team of theirs gets into the playoffs and cry about how long it's been since their town has had a champion. happened all those years that the eagles were making it to championship games, and now that the phillies have a chance, it's resurgent again.
i say, if the phillie phaithful want to see a local champion, they can suck down a cheesesteak while watching the DVD of the philadelphia soul's arena football championship season from last year. let the rays join the '69 mets in the lovable-former-loser's hall of champions.

"Suck down a cheesesteak"? How 'bout a Shmitter????
Heard something funny from the TB owner on the radio yesterday. In the ALDS, they had the support of all the Cubs fans as they played the White Sox. Then they had the Yankee fans' support vs. the Red Sox in the ALCS and now they will have the support of Mets fans vs. the Phillies in the WS.
Bandwagon fans galore! Go Rays!
