So how coming its the winning teams town that always is the one to have vadalism and people distroying stuff and not the loosing teams home town?
Funny you say that. I was telling my wife that it is just like Philly fans in general:
- if they lose, they will riot and burn the city down.
- if they win, they will celebrate and burn the city down.
It was simply a bad matchup. Unlike football where a Super Bowl would generate ratings even if Arizona played Buffalo, baseball needs a WS matchup with big market teams to generate any significant interest.

I thought it was going to be worse then it was.

Agreed. I think the quality of play on the Phillies and Rays was well deserving of their respective league championships. Regardless, there is no doubt the MLB powers that be were pissed not to see the Dodgers playing the Red Sox.
If it were Dodgers/Sox, a casual fan like myself would have tuned in. But for the Phillies/Rays, I didn't watch a single pitch.

All I know is people in Philly are crazy. One of my best friends live there and she was talking about how Frankfurt Ave. (Some street downtown) was basically closed down. People were setting fire to shit, just running crazy through the streets. Idiots. I was hoping the Rays would knock them down a peg. But.. I digress.
This is why I can't stand most people from Philly. They have no sense of class at all. (Unless they're Redskins fans. Then they're classy. :))

They just had a good conversation on PTI about this. Basically saying its a stupid idea to think that because the Phillies win, so will the eagles and flyers. The only thing that is going to happen is that the stupid philly fans will say "Oh, well the phillies can do it, so the eagles should be able to do it" and they'll boo them to hell and back when they dont. Because philly fans are the worst fans on the face of the earth!

I watched it mainly for the Rays. They have a payroll of only 48 million. It's nice to see a team build through the draft and develop players through the minor leagues. There total team payroll was less then the yankees left side of the infield. Just goes to show you that money can't buy you everything. I think if i had to hear about another Redsox World Series i would of shot myself.
And this means nothing to the Eagles. They still suck, this just means that maybe they wont boo Santa this year.
