Phillies To Meet Tampa Rays In World Series?
As I sit to write this, the Rays are playing the Red Sox in the background. I could possibly wait a few hours but I have this sense of dejavu - Tampa Bay are ahead 5-0 in the top of the fourth and judging from previous games, I cannot see Boston keeping them scoreless while bringing home the six necessary to win.
The Phillies traveled a similar path and are now on their way to the World Series - their first appearance in 15 years. For the people of Philadelphia, they have a lot to celebrate. None of the four major sports teams has won a championship since the Sixers NBA title in 1983. They haven’t even competed for a title since the Eagles faced the Patriots in the Super Bowl of February 2005.
Who would the Phillies prefer to play? I don’t think it matters right now. They are in the World Series and ready to take on anyone. Can they win the series that matters most? The fans sitting at home in Philadelphia would like to think so - but then again, the fans in Boston and Tampa Bay would like to think their sides can do it. For Boston fans, perhaps next year. It’s the top of the fifth, The rays have had 5 hits for 5 runs, the Red Sox 2 hits for no returns. I think the Rays have it.
