Unbiased WORLD Series Recap: Game Three

MLB Postseason on SB Nation

9d75361f0d5374a0baa14ab63aec9854-getty-_medium Phillies 5, Rays 4 (Philadelphia leads seres, 2-1)

I have nothing against the Rays, but part of me is taking great joy in watching the Phillies fail to roll over and die for the mighty American League champions, sure winners of the World Series due to the American League's dominance of the All-Star game, and imagining fellows and ladies like our own Titov -- no offense, Titov -- pulling their hair out in frustration about another evil plot hatched by Bud Selig, master genius (????).

Maybe if Evan Longoria could throw a ball...

How about some props to Jamie Moyer? This guy was born under the all too brief Presidency of John Fitzgerald Kennedy (on the same exact day as Kirk Hammett, in case you care) and he was so utterly awful in his previous 2008 postseason starts that you'd have been right to question whether or not the Phils should even put him out there. But he did a fine job against the glorious and epic Tampa Bay lineup, going six and a third and allowing three earned, with five strikeouts and a walk. Matt Garza pitched fine for Tampa, too.

Needless to say, any walkoff World Series game is a good one. This has been a damn good series so far. Too bad these lame umpires have barely showed up for work.

To be fair

The AL killed in interleague again. I think that’s much more significant than the All Star game.

Also, as a redskins fan I can’t root for anything associated with philly. go rays.

I watched, it stunk

I mean 25-17, yay competitive! say some Lions fans, but no, not really competitive you guys. I really kind of hope we go 0-16.

guess it wasn't blacked out for you?

I didn’t enjoy it too much either, to be honest. The Redskins were fairly lucky to win it.

the bar had it on DirecTV

This bar is half a block away, by the way. We don’t get Lions games locally because we have no FOX station that’s based in Michigan.

directv will do it

I guess that’s what makes nfl blackouts kinda silly. i mean, other than the obvious reasons.

also, re: interleague

I know. The AL is the better league. I get it. It doesn’t mean the World Series is this foregone conclusion that some people like to make it out to be. It is worth playing the games!

sure, sure

I’m with you. I don’t like NL Ball and I don’t like the Phillies. I don’t want them to win.

not liking NL ball

A big reason I hate the Twins. The Phillies don’t bother me so much.

haha true

the twins are more nl-y than the powerhouse phillies.

It’s really just because of the iggles. I actually like a lot of the players on the phils.

I liked the choice of intro songs for the DRays by Philly

Did anyone know why they played that Fishy Fishy Fishy song while the Tampa bay players were introduced?

WAS IT TO DROWN OUT THE PHILLIES FANS YELLING SUCKS AFTER EACH PLAYER WAS ANNOUNCED

did anyone ever hear of it is it from Spongebob

At every Eagles Game when the Opponents player is announced everyone yells SUCKS, so I was thinking Fox Played the song so the rest of the world wouldn’t know who we really are, though I am pretty sure our reputation precedes us!

Go Phils, One more time Baby!
