Tampa has the Backstreet Boys

Philly has Patti LaBelle.

They should turn her mic up

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

What a terrible choice

I heard Kelly was available.

At least this isn't the World Series or anything

They should just add more umps, obviously 45 is not enough.

These umps should be banned from postseason next year

although the Rays aren’t really helping themselves. I hate to agree with Tim McCarver, but might as well go for the double play.

Going into this series I wanted the Rays to win, and I suppose I still do. But after comparing the two sets of fans it’s hard not to root for Philly. I know Philly fans have a rep for being a-holes but they’re just better fans, hands down. They can get that place rocking without having to resort to freaking cowbells, for one thing.

ok, Rosenthal

Just shut up. Joe Blanton being in the World Series has nothing to do with him being equal to C.C. Sabathia or Rich Harden, you pinhead.

I don’t know why they’re even playing these games. Everyone knows the World Series was the Rays and Red Sox.

The Rays picked a hell of a time

to stop both hitting and pitching

It's just not fair

The Philles have Thompson AND Manuel.

And now Werth will get picked off

By the way, I really hope they don’t give us those towels if the O’s ever make the playoffs.

I don't want anything of that sort

The only thing I would appreciate would be an orange T-shirt, it’d be cool to see OPACY all one color.
