WORLD SERIES

vs.

The FALL CLASSIC should be a lot of fun to watch this year. No Manny, no Green Monsta, and no Red Sox. That alone should be enough to make this a great World Series. But come on. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Oh, excuse me, they changed their name to the 'Rays' this year. Talk about an up and coming team!! Everyone is so enthralled at the story of them rising from the worst team in baseball to the best that they look over the fact that this organization has waited patiently (losing seasons each year of existence) for their prospects to develop and boy is it paying off. They are young, fast, and are going to be around in the winning column for a long time. Which, in my opinion will be good for the game. Watching the Rays play makes me hope that the Cubs are taking notes. (It's funny how the Rays used to be coached by Lou Piniella and now that he's not there they are in the World Series, hmm?) But, who would've thought at the beginning of the year that the Rays and Phillies would be representing the American League and the National League in the World Series. Not me.

This World Series is going to feature: speed, homeruns, great defense, pitching, quality old school managers, cat walks and the ground rules at Tropicana Field, and of course, the Phillie Phanatic! What more could you ask for. Gear up and get ready because it's going to be fun. At least hopefully not a sweep!

There's only one OCTOBER!
