I'm going to savor this for a long long time.

(Politely, Pyro, politely)

That's right....savor that well-earned victory! Well-played games deserve to be recognized!

The thing that really bothered me was at the end of the game, when the Phillies coach spoke, congratulating The Rays for playing well, the Phillies fans BOO'D! Not at all sportsmanlike! Shame on them!

I just guess I am spoiled, living in a town where they tend to be more about enjoying the game with some semblance of decent conduct....Guess it comes from all those nice shiny World Series rings we have! What is it now? Oh, yeah....10!

Well, next year's around the corner........

No, it's not sportsmanlike, it's Philly-like!

We do have a Philadelphia fan reputation to uphold. That's just how we roll here.

A 28 year wait is over. Phinally

I find it funny that the Phils will be in the Tampa area during spring training in Clearwater(they have a very nice facility) and the Rays will move out of the area for Spring training

Of course the Yankees will be in Tampa and the Blue Jays will be in Dunedin

Sorry Rays fans I'm not poking fun or trying too

The timing is weird as they were to move out of the area anyways

SOMEONE gets it! I got blasted earlier for going on an Anti-Rays rant! Thanks for upholding my belief that Philly fans have the god-given right to be jerks. If you were stuck in this city you would understand!

I also love the fact that Bud Selig got booed. When is baseball going to axe him as commissioner? And allow Pete Rose in the Hall? OJ is in the Hall and he killed two people (allegedly)

The best part of this is that I can take off school to go to the parade tomorrow. But I do, as opposed to the people in the stadium, respect the Rays, given that's what we had to deal with from the eagles for forever.

I guess that's true, but it still doesn't make it right...and, yes, you DO have the right to be that way...Once again, does not make it right....

....It's best to both win and lose with dignity....

Take lessons from The Cardinal Nation!

Perhaps you are correct. Perhaps we are not right for being such jerks. But, I do challenge you to live in this city with NO championships for so very long...it's enough to make anyone into a cynical bastard.

I mean, your from Missouri, imgaine if you had to be a Royals fan! Would prolly think about suicide. DAILY.

Try living in Cleveland.

Then you have a right to complain about not winning championships

Bingo. Browns, Cavs and Indians. Beat that lineup.

Vikings, Timberwolves, Twins?

Well.... Hmm. The Twins sometimes win against the Indians right?

The only time I went to Jacob's field was for a Twins/Indians game.

The score was like 9-0..Twins with the 9
