A Series Absent Downside

by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 22, 2008 3:26 PM PDT in Miscellaneous

I was 15 when this happened.

Not that I think his career quite measures up to Ray Bourque's - few do - but Jamie Moyer's a Seattle man at heart, and he pitched as a Mariner for more than a decade. While I'm rooting for the Rays, if Moyer's able to get himself his first ever ring in his first ever World Series as he pushes 46...as consolation prizes go, it doesn't get much more heartwarming.

I don't see how this World Series could possibly go wrong.

I will root for whatever team is losing during each game

I tend to root for the NL over the AL

but smart team vs. old dumbish team is taking precedence here

My wife bought me a "Phillies National League Champions" t-shirt at the Philly airport last week

so I guess I want the Phillies to win, but I would not at all complain if the Rays did.

I'm rooting for another game 7

Just don't let it be a sweep of either team

Moyer winning a start which he goes deep into the game, and the Rays winning it in 7 games would be the ultimate post-season – without the M’s that is.

Made it all the better that it came at the hands of the damned Devils.

Faux is the first person I have ever seen admit to being a Devils fan

If they hadn't done it someone else would have.

Blame the NHL and their rules.

One season the Mariners are going to win the World Series and it will be the greatest sporting moment this city's ever had

I dunno...

79 was pretty all right if you ask me…

The fat lady sang, man, and that was fantastic.

The Ray have already won because making to the World Series for the first time is a win in and of itself!

I wish people would stop talking like the Yankees. “The season is a waste unless you win it all!”

The Rays and Phillies have both won.

I am rooting for a good series: no error defense, great pitching, and wonderful hitting. A series that sends us baseball fans happily off into the cold cold winter.

Only another 136 days until I head down to Spring Training.
