Phillies - Rays??



I'd say you are just as likely to see this guy show up on your door-step next Friday night, than to have predicted a world series that included both the Phillies & Rays.

Even one day ago (before game 7), you probably would have found more people who thought the Red Sox would advance.

Although the Fox executives might think otherwise, this is a perfect "storm". You have the Rays who have experienced just one winning season (this one) in their history. You have another, the Phillies, with just one World Series championship in their 100+ history of the sport.

Both teams have great offenses. The Rays have an edge in over-all starting pitching but the Phillies have the end at closing out tight games (something like 89-0 when leading after the 8th inning).

Should be exciting for all baseball fans, but particularily those in eastern Pennsylvania and Tampa Bay-St.Pete.
