I guess there might be some Red Sox fans who don't appreciate my gloating, but you've had yours, now we get a shot at it. Unbelievable, but true. Any Philly phans out there? I feel like a ten year old kid again listening to the Tigers make it all the way on my crystal radio, except now I have a 37" Hi Def flat screen to watch it on.

You bet there is a philly,s fan out here..what took the rays' so long??...ok ,whats the bet??

Whoa! I'm only 53! Till Wednesday at least.
Following the lead of what the gov'ners usually do, I'll put up a box of Florida oranges to whatever you're proud of up there. [ a few pounds of Penn venison would work just fine!]

Philadelphia teams have disappointed me much too often, but I will still be there cheering them on. the Phillies are due. GO Phanatics!

there is so much to offer from this fine state. i'm sorry danny but my hunting days ended a couple of years ago. now in the line of meats i can offer you some fine smoked pa dutch meats.bag bologna to a pan of fresh scrapple.to some fresh pa dutch potato filling to shoofly pie.and being that i go to philly every week i'll also pack a few cheesesteaks, tastycakes and softpretzels..so if the rays win, you wont go hungry, all this fed exed to ur front door.and if ya like anything else just holla... good luck!! i love them florida oranges!! and oh my apologies at 53 i guess everything is still there and works. i wont know for another 5 yrs..lol..

GAME ON! Not sure how many people of Polish descent are in the Philly area, but one thing I really miss and can't get down here is really good Keilbasa. Grocery store stuff just doesn't cut it when you grew up with the fresh stuff from the local market.

I wonder... How many PA/FL Snowbirds are torn between the two teams?

What about the people in Clearwater, Fl? The Phillies have trained for years in Clearwater and they have a very strong, local following. Which, oddly enough, is a short drive from the Rays’ home in St. Petersburg.

I quit following baseball when Dem Bums left Flatbush for California.

Thanz Bill for your phone call. The first game was on TV last night (Phillies won) and the stands had a great deal of Phila. fans, some local, some x-plants and some even flew down for the game. I guess Bill NY doesn't read all those stray postings that get mis-sent to him, because in everyone I sent I always said what a wonderful guy he must be and what a fantastic job he is doing for Barthers and how much of an honor it would be for me to sometime meet him. You would think it would be very difficult for him to not comment. I saw a picture of him @ the choo-choo thing and If I were "that way" I would really want to meet such a stud. (this is where I would put one of those little laughing faces if I knew how) have fun!

ahh danny i know philly has a decent polish population. i will def. add that to your package..a friend of mine who is polish lives upstate here in coal cracker region and his family used to give me homemade polish sausage and haulupkis (?) all the time.so maybe i give him a ring..he is a big phillies fan though and might add secret ingredients to spice em up a bit...i see the rays evened things up tonite..now they come back north,where the weather is a bit colder..
