Enjoy a low ass rated World Series, Fox.

[ClockShot]

Big Game Garza came through. Damn fine outing by him.

Congrats to the Rays.

[VonErichLives]

Damn good series even though the result did not go in my favor.

Go Phillies

yeah, great series... even the chances with men on in the 8th and 9th...

can't wait to hear sports radio today with everyone 2nd guessing Francona... I mean, he's only won 2 WS in 5yrs and made the playoffs each year? (can't remember if he missed one)...

now, I have to go out a buy a Rays hat and wear it to the fucking patriots game tonight... this will be fun...

does it count if I attatch a sign "I lost a bet, F--- the" right abover where it says "rays"?

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>If the Rays wind up winning the WS I wonder what the payoff is for the people who decided to bet a few bucks on them for the hell of it before the season started</font> :o

Enjoy a low ass rated World Series, Fox.

if ratings are lower, so what. real fans will be watching

[VonErichLives]

if ratings are lower, so what. real fans will be watching

and you think Fox cares if they have 3 real fans or 10 real/fake mixed fans?

it's all about the $$$$

that being said, Philly is a pretty big market, so I suspect the rating wont be too bad.

[McLegend]

I wanted The Red Sox.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

If the ratings are low, it's because there hasn't been a decent World Series since 2003.

I could see this series getting good ratings. Philly has the 4th largest market in the country and a pretty solid fan base. Tampa has a great story coming in that should grab viewers. Both teams also hit a lot of home runs which will grab some more viewers. Plus, they'll play 3 games before Sunday so they won't have to compete with the NFL.

[OssMan]

Hey, the World Series is gonna end in October

[McLegend]

Phillies

[McLegend]

Yeah chase.

Stupid to send Victrino though

[McLegend]

Cole Hamels :cool:

[FakeLaser]

James Shields

<font color=goldenrod>Oh gay, the Taco Bell free taco promotion is only for crunchy tacos</font> :(

[Loose Cannon]

I haven't eaten taco bell since my incident.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Upton looked like he was back in his half assed jogging form again.

[McLegend]

Upton did that a couple times again tonight too.

It's not like the Rays pitchers were domiant tonight, but they were good. Really fuckin annoying when you can't hit with runners in scoring position.

[McLegend]

9:30 first pitch

[McLegend]

Sweet

[RoXer]

ROFL What the fuck was that

[RoXer]

I had the game on in the backround and all I heard was this horrible rendition of our anthem.

Turns out it was Patti LeBelle. WOW that was bad.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Fucking hell, it's good as over if the Phils win tonight</font>

[MVP]

Even Joe Blanton is hitting home runs in this series.

[McLegend]

Ha

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Well, the Phils pretty much have it in the bag at this point. I just can't see how Hamels can lose tomorrow and even if he did, the Phillies' lineup is much more potent than the Rays'.

This is gonna be a longass winter.</font> :(

[RP]

Caught that game last night. Howard was spectacular. How in the world will the Rays beat Hammel? I wonder what the riots in Philly will be like. Will people practice an economy friendly riot technique and not burn cars and convience stores down, or will they say fuck it, we're gunna be poor anyways. Lets burn this bitch down!

[McLegend]

First time all post season I'm nervous.

[McLegend]

I don't like this yo.

[ClockShot]

Yeah. They should call it cause it's only gonna get worse. But it's just gonna fuck it all up schedule wise.

[Loose Cannon]

if this gets called and ends the Series that would really suck

[Loose Cannon]

they would never do that though

[Loose Cannon]

wow 39 degrees and rainy. like the worst baseball weather ever

[Loose Cannon]

so glad the Rays tied it so they could stop it.

[McLegend]

Fuck this

[LoDownM]

The Philly curse will never end!

[McLegend]

According to Mike Trico on MNF.

The game has been suspended and will resume play tomorrow.

[McLegend]

Yeah Bud Selig has just said it.

[McLegend]

Fuck me

[McLegend]

Just watching this press conference right.

You really get the impression that Bud Selig is an idiot.

[McLegend]

PAT BURRELL

[McLegend]

The corpse of Geoff Jenkins

[screech]

YEAH PHILS! WOOOOOOO!

[RP]

That play by Utley was insane

[Rain Man]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIGHTS OUT MUTHA FUCKIN LIDGE.... thought id never be able to go back on these forums and tell you all to FUCK YOURSELVES... WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS! IVE FINALLY SEEN IT! THE CURSE IS OVER!!

[OssMan]

wtf what curse did the phillies have? They haven't won the world series in 28 years, that's just a drought, or something, not a curse. Congrats on waiting for a team from your city to win a championship so you could come on here and post again though, that is pretty cool
