Say "Hello" to the World Series champion Phillies

stevek · October 14, 2008 12:00AM

Oh, I'm sorry, Is it too early?

stevek · October 14, 2008 12:07AM

Already got my parade reservations.

Anyone really think the Rays or the Red Sox could beat the Phillies the way the Phillies are playing right now - clutch hitting, clutch pitching, clutch fielding, clutch everything.

<< Oh, I'm sorry, Is it too early? >>

It might not be too early to have a Phillies make the World Series thread, but don't you think the Sox or the Rays have a slight, little shot at the Phillies? I don't see the winner of the ALCS showing up to the World Series and giving the series away

Come on Steve, relax and take a deep breathe and exhale nice and slow. I think this post season is wiping out your brain cells. lol

I've had my doctor triple the dosage on my nitroglycerin pills. LOL

I agree. The Rays look youthful and tough while the Red Sox are the reigning champs. Either way, it's gonna be a great WS

Please see your local doctor to cure your premature ejaculation.

Sincerely,
Sure to disappoint

stevek · October 15, 2008 12:14PM

Phillies - We're going all the way...no question about it.

DrJ · October 15, 2008 12:48PM

As I have said all along. Philadelphia is "Clutch City" this year lead by Ryan Howard who came up with 3 hits in the clincher.

Go Phils!!!!

joestalin · October 15, 2008 1:06PM

Sorry, there is no way we are going home with out finger jewelry this year. This team has hit its stride. Tampa has a nice lineup and our
pitching will be tested, but I don't think their pitching can tame our line up. Man it feels good.

softparade · October 15, 2008 1:15PM

Rays in six.

Sorry Steve.

stevek · October 15, 2008 1:26PM

<< Rays in six.

Sorry Steve. >>

Rays will be tough, no doubt about it - Phillies won't have a walk in the park like they just did. Should be an excellent series.

If Hamels keeps his current form, although the Rays are playing excellent baseball, I would have to believe the Phils will be very tough to beat in this series.

stevek · October 15, 2008 1:28PM

Prediction: Cole Hamels will be a "household name" after this series.

Connecticoin · October 16, 2008 7:59PM

<< Oh, I'm sorry, Is it too early? >>

Perhaps. You sure are trying your best to jinx them.

rube26105 · October 18, 2008 5:22AM

i already got a jinx on the rays, i just watch and they lose- took 30 minutes last game to get 8-7 lol after 7-1 when i turned it on, great 30 minutes though

stevek · October 18, 2008 7:59AM

I'm not a superstitious guy, and I don't believe in jinxes because my astrology charts and crystal ball told me so.

stevek · October 18, 2008 11:43AM

Well...when is the junior circuit gonna finally produce a World Series participant. We're waiting patiently.

stevek · October 18, 2008 11:48AM

I'm getting a little tired of waiting for the junior circuit to get its act together and enter a team in the World Series, that the Phillies will beat no matter which team it is anyway. So quit stalling. Either select a team or forfeit. Enough is enough.

lawnmowerman · October 18, 2008 11:51AM

Remember what happened to the Tigers when they had to wait a few years ago?

stevek · October 18, 2008 11:55AM

I have a feeling this AL playoff is gonna go to a 7th game, then extra innings, and then the game will never finish, it will go on for infinity just so either team won't ever have to face the Phillies.

joestalin · October 18, 2008 12:28PM

Neither the Rays nor the Red Sox have the killer instinct. I mean, they are just puttering around...no you please...no you please..no you please.

Phils will be ready pound. Does anyone have a place I can stay at for the parade...or at least a cardboard box and some chunky soup?

JS

Bottom9th · October 18, 2008 1:04PM

Why even play the games then??????

stevek · October 18, 2008 1:07PM

Still waiting

lawnmowerman · October 18, 2008 1:08PM

Lets go Mets!!

stevek · October 18, 2008 1:10PM

Hey Red Sox, I got a warning for ya...this stuff you're pulling on the Rays - Don't try any of that comeback stuff against the Phillies - it won't work.

rube26105 · October 18, 2008 2:54PM

curse of rube very powerful grasshopper

edmundfitzgerald · October 19, 2008 12:48AM

So who would you guys rather play ? Or, it doesn't matter because you're going to pound either one of these pathetic AL teams

SoFLPhillyFan · October 19, 2008 1:02AM

I would think it's best to play the younger team with no post season experience that is prone to make mistakes based on the situation.

stevek · October 19, 2008 1:03AM

<< So who would you guys rather play ? Or, it doesn't matter because you're going to pound either one of these pathetic AL teams

That's right, good to see you're learning - some American League team grape, is about to be run over by the Phillies two ton steamroller.

stevek · October 19, 2008 1:05AM

<< I would think it's best to play the younger team with no post season experience that is prone to make mistakes based on the situation. >>

I agree with that, but just to dethrone the champs, and including playing at historic Fenway, I'd like to see the Phillies play the Red Sox.

Being that my home is two hours south of Tampa and hosts Spring Training for the Bosox I'll delight in either scenario.

We have a lot of Boston fans in my area, transplants and bandwagoners from Spring Training and the Rays dismal earlier years.

Having not been home for awhile I'll have to ask my wife about the current fan allegiance around town. I bet that no one has changed over to the Rays yet but if they win we'll see everyone in town sporting their gear.

FYI - for what it's worth the Bosox are currently holding our County hostage to get a newer facility. Sarasota County just north of us made a bid for them to move there. So of course the Bosox made demands in order to stay in Lee County. I say suck it Theo. Go ahead and move. We also have the Twins who make no trouble, and we can get another team if needed.

stevek · October 19, 2008 12:43PM

Congrats to the Rays on winning the AL pennant. Now bring it on over to Philly - We're waitin' for ya.

stevek · October 19, 2008 2:15PM

Did Rays fans forget there's still one more bridge to cross?

Don't worry, the Phillies will soon remind ya.

lawnmowerman · October 19, 2008 2:19PM

Rays in 5 Steve.

stevek · October 20, 2008 7:34AM

Better get your "Hellos" in now while they're still free.

stevek · October 20, 2008 7:38AM

The international press has been anxiously awaiting my prediction on the World Series so here it is:

The Phillies are a lock to win this World Series.

stevek · October 20, 2008 12:57PM

I've changed my prediction from just an ordinary lock...to a STONE COLD MORTAL LOCK based on all the "experts" in this forum picking the Rays.

stevek · October 21, 2008 10:21PM

Is it 8:00pm yet? Come on "time" hurry up already.

stevek · October 22, 2008 4:59AM

About 4 hours to Show Time.

stevek · October 22, 2008 8:52AM

About ten minutes to post time - Bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

stevek · October 22, 2008 12:42PM

I can't believe the way Tampa Bay just "insulted" Ryan Howard.

come on Ryan baby - park one!!!!!!!

stevek · October 22, 2008 12:43PM

Get mad Ryan - Blow this game wide open...not that we necessarily need it with Lidge coming in to pitch.

stevek · October 22, 2008 12:58PM

MOW 'EM DOWN BRAD BABY..................................

stevek · October 22, 2008 12:59PM

<< MOW 'EM DOWN BRAD BABY.................................. >>

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS....................oncore

stevek · October 22, 2008 1:06PM

Thanks Randy!

It's nice getting that first one under your belt. Kudos to Tampa Bay - it's obvious they are tenacious and have a lot of heart - they tried hard to fight back - No quit in them at all.

Long way to go in this series. Should be some more good games coming up.

joestalin · October 22, 2008 1:07PM

Home field to the Phils now, this series won't go longer than 5!

BAM
