****2008 World Series Tread****

[bassNspear]

As we are getting closer and closer to the series, we might as well get the ball rolling.

Who are you looking to get there. I hope its a Boston LA show.

[mike morris]

I'm looking forward to a TB - LA showdown. I think that would make one heck of a series.

[Cicada]

Best if it were Phillidelphia/Tampa Bay. That way we wouldn't have to listen to any Manny stories.

[Windy City]

The real story would be if it were LA and BoSox because then you would have a megasuper star (Manny) having his total salary being paid by the team (BoSox)he was trying to beat! Now that would be a story.

[DinkADunk]

Exactly Windy. I made that observation to my wife last night and she thought it would be a great idea. Would make for some decent drama. Imagine Manny hitting a homerun at Fenway for the Dodgers. I would rather see a Rays - Dodgers WS though.

[zamboni]

I put Tampa/Philly before, and I will stand by that

[Windy City]

Don't really care about the Senior Circuit but I would not mind watching the Rays go for it. Anybody but an east coast team, and by east coast I mean BoSox or Yankees!

Windy

[Windy City]

Anything but a BoSox/Philly series! Keep the ESPN guys at bay....Tampa Bay! LOL

Windy

[Gary Crichton]

I vote for LA and Boston, just so we can hear all about Manny. Oh boy.

G.C.

[Mudcutter]

Nice not having the Cubs in the mix,,, they get jammed down my throat in IA. Then again,, been 63 years since they have been in the WS,,, maybe next year?? I think not.

I'd like to see LA play agst Boston and get shut out 4-0 in another show of the dominant league. Even Tampa,, not so sure they can shut out the NL.

Their is a reason Manny hit .396 in the NL. no pitching, no closers,,, Lidge will blow a big one.

Only reason I would pull for LA is Torre,, NY let a great one go.

[fritz179]

As long as the Rays go to it I don't care who comes from the NL. The Rays deserve it and have been the best baseball team all year, excluding the Angels, look where they're at now. I'm soooo sick of Boston/New England sports! I think it's pretty cool Joe Torre is back in the Championship series with a different team.

[bassislife]

Rays vs Phillies.

I hope the Rays will take it all. A very talented, impressive young team.

[schweady]

I could care less who is in it as long as it is a sweep: the games are always a treat to watch, but the fewer innings I have to listen to Buck and McCarver, the better.

[bassNspear]

lol, there different guys with different voices, that forsure.

But i think i would rather listen to them then madden on football!

[zamboni]

Has B J Uptons homer landed yet?

[Windy City]

Which one, Zam? We got to see a few of them up close and personal and they were not a pretty site if you are cheering for the opposing team! LOL

Windy

[zamboni]

That one over the monster- soon as it hit the bat I knew it was gone. Had to have gone at least 450+

[bassNspear]

not looking good for Red Sox fans.

[Windy City]

I guess ESPN is going to have to expand it's reach beyond NY and Boston all the way out to Philly!

Windy

[mnwild]

Man is Tampa looking tough in these playoff's.. I can see a Tampa - Phillies WS and Tampa wining the whole thing. They are going to be a very good team for years to come.

Will the owners keep the team together? Remember, the Florida Marlins have done the same thing twice now, and both teams were pretty much disbanded the next season. I hope they keep these guys together, sick of Yankees/Red Sox every season

[bassNspear]

doesnt look like the dodgers are going to get in

[ozzie]

the owner of the Marlins purposely put the 97? team together to win a championship and disband them to sort of stick it to MLB if I do recall............I do not think the Rays ownership would get rid of these young talents when most of them are not even up for arbitration let alone the free agency market!

[DonBo]

I hear FOX is worried about a Philly / Tampa Bay series. Won't be able to get their coveted 25 share without one of the huge market teams involved.
