You know what's crazy? when I was younger I took dance lessons from the same guy who was the Phillie Phanatic (I doubt it's the same guy now), and he was in my dance recital one year haha.

Since the Phanatic is the most popular mascot in professional sports history, and voted the best mascot, by most sports fans and magazines, the original guy started his own business, and actually trains mascots, and creates costumes for them, etc.

JB2, here we agree! I will be rooting for the Rays, but not against the Phillies!

I'm afraid of the Rays. They're too damned good! I don't even think of them as a real team, though.

One of the low moments by the Cubs BEFORE the playoffs was the sweep by the Rays.

Well done Phillies, and the Dodgers - we will get you next year.

If Boston wins I will root for the Phillies, but if the Rays win, sorry, I am going with Cinderella.

WOOHOOO!!! I am barely awake and have 2 cups of coffee already this morning. I am so excited yet bummed we have to wait a week for the Series to start. My neighborhood went nuts last night. People were outside banging pots and pans and honking horns...someone even let off a few fire works (and I live in NJ, can't imagine what it was like in Philly) The pictures of Broad St and Cottman Ave were crazy and no incidents occurred in the celebration. Imagine if we win the World Series...this town will explode.

Did you see after Carlos caught the last out and everyone ran to the field. Pat stayed on the bench and had tears in his eyes. I am so happy for him and Jimmy. They were with the team when we were god awful and now they get to experience this.

I am a little scared of the Rays,because we didn't play them this year. I think we can handle the Red Sox, but you never know with them.

I am still so pumped. When we get to Game 3 Citizens Bank Park is going to be INSANE

"WOOHOOO!!! I am barely awake and have 2 cups of coffee already this morning."

I'm with you there violet haha. And I've got a long day of work from 8-5 then rehearsal from 6-10. Everyone's dead in the office this morning haha, but we're all in our Phillies gear so it's all good :)

Stangely, many of our students are absent or they were tardy today(9 out of my 13 are out today). Can't imagine what will happen if they win the World Series. If there is a parade (knock on wood) I will def. be calling in sick to go (or watch it on tv)

I called my grandfather up last night after the game (he is 82). He has never missed a Phillies game (he watches them on TV now) He was crying and said he hopes they win because he would love to see them win the World Series again before he dies (morbid but he said it so lovingly) I would love to get him tickets to see a game of the World Series but I can't afford them.

Blonde that picture is awesome.....So I went to bed last night thinking we were going to play Tampa in the World Series...so I was a bit suprised this morning when I woke up and saw that Boston came back and won it...so I guess we have to wait till this weekend to see who we are playing in the World Series...

Did anyone go out yesterday and buy a shirt or hat? I couldn't get to Modell's yesterday

[blondebaby589]

I did the same thing you did violet! I didn't watch the game because I just assumed Tampa would win, but what a comeback for Boston!

[PB ENT.]

Posted: 10/17/08 at 11:10am

Yeah, well, it must have been the luck of their mascot....a bit of a poor knock off of you know who.

Anyway, may the best team come to face the Broad Street Heroes. (not to be confused with Dave Schults and the Broad Street bullies).

If there is a fan-base I detest, it's a fake one like Tampa Bay's. They couldn't even get enough fans in their park to fill the place when they were going for a playoff spot. They're not real. There barely even a real team. Now, all of a sudden, they're packed-in with "rabid fans". Ridiculous. They're a great team with horrendous "fans", who couldn't care less about them, except that they're in the Word Series. Give me a true-blue fan-base, like Boston, New York, Philadelphia. Particularly Philadelphia, who sells-out a stadium, even with a losing team!

True...on ESPN they said they had the second worst attendence in MLB. It's "fans" like this that tick me off. I hate front runners. BTW we are the underdog of the series. All of the "experts" picked Tampa...many of them picked them to sweep us.Everyone is counting us out, which I kind of like. I think it is going to be a good series and it will go all 7 games.
