Whirled Series - Anybody care?
 

Don't see much talk on here about baseball. Anybody watching the Series? I think the Rays just squeaked in and don't deserve to be there. I got Philly all the way! Any takers?

Why would the Rays not deserve to be there? They won their division, had the 3rd best record in all of baseball, and clocked everyone in the playoffs.

I'm not following it really closely this year, but I'm glad that it's anyone other than the Yankees or the Red Sox. Should go 7 games...I think the Rays will pull it out in the end.

They "clocked" the Sox?? Weren't they down 3 to 1?? Almost extinct? What was there record for the past few years? And they would have never got by the Sox if Manny was still there!

I don't really follow baseball (or basketball for that matter) until it DOES get to the playoffs.... so, I'm just talkin here! :lol2:

But, I gotta say I've been impressed by the Phillies! Haven't really gotten the chance to watch any of the Rays games. Cinderella story is what I'm hearing though.

Yeah, it's good to NOT here the Yankees mentioned! 7 games will be fine by me. I just like a GOOD argument! But, I'm sticking with the Phillies.

Go Reds! :thumbsup:

Rays were up 3-1 against the Sox and I agree the Rays deserve to be there. They play in a very tough division and beat them all.

Oh yeah.... that's right! I remembered it wrong! Now, I remember wondering WTF happened to the SOX?? I couldn't believe they were down and nearly out.... but then they came back and took it to game 7, right?

So, I was giving the RAYS too much credit for coming back! :D

Like I said, don't know why but I saw ALL the Phillies/Dodgers games, but missed ALL the Rays/Sox games!

Thanks for setting me straight..... and, Okay... maybe the Rays deserve to be there. No skin off MY teeth! (of course, the Sox didn't have Manny!) ;)

I just wanted to get some baseball on the sports page here! :thumbsup:

So, post me some records. Who has the best record and WHY do you think the Rays will win?? (or vice versa.)

Why do you WANT them to win?

Just trying to 'chat it up" here! Hey batta batta! :lol2:

I'd like to see the Rays win because it's been a Cinderella season for the. They went from worst (last year) to first, with a chance to take it all this year. Be a good story and trust me...baseball needs a good story to build from.

Golfhobo asked:
Nope.

I'd much rather visualize Whirled Peas.

WHA???? You must be "UN-American!"

Baseball. What is that?...........It's fall and all about the PIGSKIN

I'm a native of Clearwater,FL so the Rays are the home team. I went to the second Rays game ever played at the Trop. It was a long, tough road for the Bay area to even get a baseball team. We thought we were going to get one but missed out when franchises were awarded to Arizona and Colorado. It was 10 to 15 years of a long wait just to get a MLB team and another 10 years of being the doormat of the AL East so this series is definitely special.

For those who don't think the Rays belong there, you've got to be kidding me. You don't win 97 games in baseball's toughest division beat the White Sox and Red Sox in post season and not deserve to be in the WS. They are a $45 million dollar team of excellent young players who beat up the $100 million dollar+ powerhouses New york and Boston and did it with their athletic skills and teamwork.

Go get Manny and throw him in the Phillies lineup and Garza or Big Game James or Howell or Price will shut him down too. BJ Upton, it's goin yard, Longoria, your gonna hear that name for many years to come, Crawford, one bad man there, Aybar and Pena can hurt you too.

They got the pitching, they got the D, they got the bats.......Phillies going down.........
Hip Hop HooooooooRAYSSS

Hey, Lefturn... why did they drop Devil from the name? I haven't heard about it. Was there a lawsuit or something?

And just for you, I'll wish the Rays good luck! I like a good Cinderella story. And I got no special love for Philadelphia! I just liked the way they looked in the conference championship..... especially that power hitting pitcher they got! :lol2::clap:

Well thanks golfhobo for becoming a Rays fan. I haven't heard anything about lawsuits about the name change, I guess they just wanted a new look, and ya know how it is nowadays, gotta be politically correct. I was reading another message board and a poster said "Man, maybe new Jersey ought to drop the devil out of thier team name and maybe they will go to the Stanely Cup".

The Redskins are still around.

Say it aint so!http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/...tongue0001.gif

I flipped over to ESPN this afternoon, and they had horse racing on there. What in the world!!http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/msn/msn17.gif

Nothing wrong with the Breeders Cup..........Curlin tanked

These Baseball players..(buncha homos)..give me the creeps.
When they win a game, they forget they are in public, and run out onto the field and do some really disturbing group hug, and jump up and down like a bunch of school girls. :hellno:

Football players/Hockey players celebrate with physical violence. The bigger the celebration, the more brutal the attack. :thumbsup:

Now Roadhog, baseball is about being an American, and chix dig baseball players.

I dont think I've ever heard that before.

I was just watching SportsCenter. Who is the Phillies' manager? His voice sounded like someone you'd see in a Western.http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/happy/happy0053.gif

ya you never see hugging in foot ball :roll: all that butt slapping doesn't give you the creeps?

...butt slapping? Thought that was Basketball. :lol:
Basketball players are just practicing felons, and have more in common with volleyball. :)

I don't think much of soccer, but you have to love the Fans! :p
Much like Hockey...low scores cause more fan participation...but at least the Hockey players, unlike their fans, get regular rabies and distemper shots.

Nascar?...the fumes have an ill effect on the social centers of the brain. Many just pass out. You got to get real close to the fence to get your face black...what a rush. :block:

I love volleyball.

Especially women's volleyball.

Especially women's beach volleyball.

Especially women's beach volleyball when the players are wearing white bikinis.

Especially women's beach volleyball when the players are wearing white bikinis in the rain.

Man, the Olympics rocked. :hitit:

How would yall like to be there, watching the Phillies tonight. Low 30s, wind blowing 30mph, gusts up to 40mph.http://img2.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/...nfused0020.gif

Yeah...*sigh* daydream....daydream...stamina is a good thing.....
