Fukkin' called it. Made this 3 weeks ago. Anyways HARDCORE Rays fan here wanting to say good series to Sox fans. It was exciting and beyond stressful to watch but that's why it was awesome. I think we can both agree that the Yankees are out Sox vs. Rays are in!

tl;dr: gg Sox

Called it too. The only series I didn't accurately call was Angels v. Red Sox, which I didn't give a shit about because I knew both would lose to the Rays. Being a Marlins fag, I was inclined to root for the Rays (both are expansion team from Florida, low payrolls, everyone expects them to lose, etc). The Red Sox seem to give everyone heart attacks in every game they play. Both these teams sure know how to put up an exciting show.

Phillyfag here,

God I fucking hope the Phils win in 5. The city will shut down. Riots, pillaging, the whole 9 yards. Also my dream.

Sorry, not this year. Red Sox > Dodgers, so the Rays beat the best therefore they are the best.

Raysfag here since the beginning, I went to the third game ever in 1998. I have never been this happy, even happier than when the Bucs won the Super Bowl in '02 and they haven't even won the Series yet. To me, this is almost bigger than winning the World Series. This WAS the World Series.

The Philly Cheesesteaks, man. Think of them!

Besides that, nothing of value is lost.

Any team that consistently ranks in the bottom five for attendance does not deserve to go to the World Series. Fuck the Rays and fuck all of their bullshit fairweather "fans" who couldn't even name a single one of their starting pitchers this time last month.

(my apologies to any legitimate Raysfag who actually has given half a fuck about this team during the past ten miserable years)

Attendance = legitimacy as a team?

Look, I live in St. Pete and I get why our attendance is so low. We have a lot to compete with. Besides being a terrible team. There were many days and nights where I thought about spending $10 to go to a game but then I could go to the beach. Some weekends I would make the relatively short ride to Universal Studios. My point is there is a lot to compete with and they were a bad team. There were people who always wanted to see this team succeed, it just seemed like a waste of time to go see them lose.

tl;dr: you're not from here so you don't know shit, shut the fuck up.

The Rays have no tradition. No one grew up with them to pass that on to there kids. The ownership has been terrible, with no signs of improvement until this year. There was a whole OTL based on the subject.

Rays fans can bandwagon all they want, they are finally FUN to watch. If you are from Tampa, enjoy your team.

Fuck Tampa, this is a St. Pete team. Secondly I was 8 when this team debuted, I do feel like I grew up with them. Third we do have tradition, MOAR COWBELL!!!!

The Rays do too have tradition:

1. Building shitty stadiums that will never in a billion years host the All-Star Game
2. Losing
3. Not being able to sell out a game

TRADITIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Um, being the most successful team with the most dynasties, the Yankees are always relevant. Every team is due for a shitty season and it was Yankees' turn, but don't count them out for next year.

OP here, by saying the Yankees are out I meant in terms of a rivalry. The Sox vs. Yanks rivalry is boring and old, Rays vs. Sox rivalry is the new thing and much more fun.

ok well i see what you are saying but Yanks v Sox will always be relevant

you are right that the Rays broke ground on a newer rivalry, but i think Soxfags will still think the Yanks are the bigger one

Great thing about it, NO one has seen price pitch yet, cept tonight. He's damn near our Dark horse, and both Kazmir and Garza are doing great. We just need to ship Balfour the fuck out.

I like Balfour though, he is fun. Who else screams, "FUCK YEAH FUCKING STRIKE FUCKERS" after every strike?

Bigger, yes, but more entertaining? I disagree.

Balfour needs to get his shit together, Price is much better, and a damn child birthed in the middle of the ACLS. Price is still kick ass though.
