I like the Tigers. Always have. I grew up hearing stories from my old man about the 1968 team that beat the Cards in the 1968 World Series behind Al Kaline and helped bring temporary peace to a decimated city.

Not to be a dick, but the general sense of entitlement of Phillies fans this year may have even exceeded that of Red Sox fans. So, I am not displeased by their early exit.

That being said, the article in SI a couple weeks ago about how the Phillies have taken over the city was pretty cool. I think it was in the issue that the Bills were on the cover.

Having grown up here in Philly and suffered through years of shitty baseball, I have to say I smile when seeing statements like this. I still can't believe people hate us because of our success. We still can't believe the string of good fortune we've had the past few years. And it's taken some time to learn to expect to win. The problem is that the window for success is starting to close as the core group who got us here (Rolllins and Utley to name two) begin to slowly decline. 2008 is starting to seem like a very long time ago.

I don't hate the Phillies or their fans, and if I weren't a Red Sox fan, I'd feel the same way about us (I thought I made that clear too). So throw that comment out the window. I was just making an observation that all the Phillies fans I know are legitimately shocked that they didn't win the World Series. They're blindsided by it. That being said, your point about dealing with their suckitude forever is well-taken. Don't forget that as a Boston fan born in the early 80s, I didn't see a championship in my childhood either, so I know exactly what you're talking about.

In any event, it wasn't meant to be mean-spirited, and I hope people from Philly don't start apologizing for the fact that they'll be the favorite to win the pennant for at least the next couple of years, either.

Ron Darling talking about Mark Kotsay in the two hole made me think of this.

Philly sports were so bad for so long (often truly terrible, not just a lack of championships) that I completely understand the sentiment behind thse posts. Red Sox fans pre-2004 had the history of 1918 spliced with coming so close every generation, yet failing. It was a painful narrative that really can't be overstated (try as the press did). Philly fans had 1980 and lots of bad teams, with some memorable ones and some total chokes thrown in. Naturally, the Cubs and Chi Sox fans had/have their droughts as well. All of those situations sucked the life out of fans as a group.

Sports can be very personal too. Think of the 25 y/o ND graduate that claims all of the past football glory for his own, but is sickened by the current state of affairs. For me, I grew up rooting for Don Mattingly and loved old timer's day, but Mel Hall didn't bring in any rings, so until 1996 I was a pretty miserable prick of a fan. Up to that time, there was no question that a Mets fan my age had enjoyed a much more enjoyable fan experience from birth. Things have changed.

I don't watch a ton of Texas (I have a feeling the ratings are going to be absolutely brutal for this series) but I do know they have an excellent bullpen with Feliz, Ogando, Gonzalez, etc.

The pitching in game 2 is excellent. Garcia with a shutout thru 7 and Lewis scoreless thru 6.... Good game

The Cards got LaRussa'd. You live and die with Motte, and if you lose so be it. Now, you lost and your closer thinks the manager has no confidence in him.

Not going to pretend I watch a lot of Cards games, but I never understood why LaRussa demoted Salas to begin with. Their ERA, WHIP, K/9 and K/BB are nearly identical and Salas converted a better percentage of his opportunities. Motte has the overall experience edge, but not in this role, just 3 career saves prior to this season. I don't get it.

Tony LaRussa is such a clown. He just called me in to pitch lefty in the 7th.

Is there any worse feeling than watching an elimination playoff game, your team down 3+ runs with only a handful of outs left, and feeling hopeless because your team hasn't hit a lick all game? :(

Been there, done that. Last time was the 2004 ALCS.

These two teams are making up for that abortion that was the first 5-6 innings.

No real rooting interest (usually root for NL teams cause it's real baseball) but I can't stand LaRussa.
