Mark Chmura would like you to believe that if the Rays make it to the World Series than we are one step closer to Armagedon. The Phillies made it to the Series after beating the Dodgers 5-1 last night. I watched the bottom of the ninth with my roommate. But we don't get Fox so we had watch it in Spanish. It was hilarious.
While I don't think that a Rays-Phililes series is one of the first signs of the second coming of Christ, I do believe that it would probably one the most random series to date. At least in our generation. Last season, the Rays were the laughing stock of the league but this year have become one of the most dominant teams in the AL East. Tuesday's 11-2 win over Boston just proves it. Plus I don't think Boston should have started Tim Wakefield. The Rays have seen his stuff all year. They know how to hit the knuckleball.
I hate the Phillies. I really wish they had lost to the Brewers or the Dodgers. I am a big time Braves fan (even though they have fallen off their 14-year division title pedestal) so I hate seeing a divisional foe in the Show. The Phillies were dominat against the Braves this season which makes it even worse. This is the first time since 1993 that the Phillies are going to the World Series.
What a turn around Brad Lidge has had. During the 2005 NLCS, Lidge gave up a 3-run home run to Albert Pujols in Game 5 in Houston which forced a Game 6 back in St. Louis, which the Astros would win to clinch their first World Series berth in franchise history.
If the Rays close it out against the Red Sox it should end up being a pretty interesting series to say the least.
