Do You know who was happiest when the Phillies won the World Series last night? Mitch Williams, who gave up the walkoff homerun to Joe Carter in the 1993 World Series. The emotions he feels right now must be like how Bill Buckner felt after the Boston Red Sox finally won the World Series in 2004.

Baseball Tonight Looks Back At The World Series.

Congratulations to the Phillies on their World Series Championship.

World Series Broken Beyond Repair

The Tampa Bay Rays and the Philladelphia Phillies are playing baseball, and almost nobody's watching.

The 2008 World Series has been tainted by the errors by the umpires, and the fact that the weather has not been kind in Philly, forcing fans to wait hours (or in tonight's case, days) to watch two teams play (at least) 3 innings of baseball.

The fact that there was almost no big city teams in the series was supposed to be good news for baseball, but when the umpires seem to make at least one bad call a night, it almost seems like all of baseball wants the Phillies to win tonight.

The World Series,the crowning jewel of Baseball Season, is broken beyond repair. It's a shame.

Phillies Hit 3 Homers in Game Three Win

Ryan Howard ended his home run drought and the Phillies clubbed three solo homers in a 5-4, game three win over Tampa Bay. Philadelphia leads the World Series two games to one.

Carlos Ruiz hit a ball to third baseman Evan Longoria, who fielded the ball barehanded and threw wildly past catcher Dioner Navarro, allowing Bruntlett to score on the first walk-off infield single in World Series history.
The Phillies win a 5-4 thriller, and lead the series 2-1.

World Series Game Three Preview

Here is your preview of Game Three of the 2008 World Series.


Rays Starter Matt Garza talks about preparing for Game 3 in Philadelphia.


I'm picking the Phillies to win tonight. I think the fact that they are at home, and Tampa Bay will not only lose their DH, they lose their climate controlled dome as well.

Matt Garza pitches against Jamie Moyer tonight.

Rays Top Phillies 4-2 to Tie World Series

The Tampa Bay Rays used 'Small Ball' to beat the Phillies 4-2 Thursday night to even the World Series at one game apiece. James Shields scattered seven hits over five and two-thirds innings for the Rays.

The Phillies, no question, have the edge for the next two games, as they will be in Phily. Tampa Bay loses their DH for the next two games, so we will see how they respond.

It looks like we are in for a long, good series.
Game Three of the World Series is Saturday Night on Fox.

The World Series Is Here!

The 2008 World Series is finally here! The Philladelphia Phillies are in the World Series for the first time since 1993. Their opponents, the Tampa Bay Rays, weren't even in Major League Baseball in 1993. Ever since The Rays became a franchise in 1998, they had never finished above fourth place in the AL East and had never won more than 70 games. They crushed both marks this season, as Tampa Bay not only won the AL East, but they did it by winning 97 games.

This individual series will be awesome. The Phillies offense against the Rays piching.

The Homefield advantage could be a huge factor here, that alone favors Tampa Bay.

Game One gives us an excellent pitching matchup, as both team's aces will duel on Wednesday night. Scott Kazmir goes for the Rays while Cole Hamels pitches for the Phillies. Both of these starters can match eacch other pitch for pitch, strike for strike, out for out, and strikeout for strikeout. Both starters may duel to a no decision, meaning the manager that wisely uses his bullpen will get the win.

If the pitching doesn't hold up it's end of the bargain, both offenses can match each other homerun for homerun.Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena versus Pat Burrell and Ryan Howard. If that happens, this series is a real toss up.

My two hope for this series are the following:
1: It is Not a Sweep
2: I Hope the series goes seven games.

There has not been a World Series to go seven games since 2001, when the upstart Arizona Diamondbacks upset the New York Yankees in seven thrilling, action packed games.

Now onto my pick for the series:

I Can't believe I'm saying this, but the Tampa Bay Rays will win the World Series. After The Rays win the World Series, you may never find an empty seat again in Tropicana Field.

RAYS IN FIVE
