Well, the Red Sox could not get it done last night, losing 3-1 to Tampa Bay. The Rays will be attending their first World Series since their entry into the Majors in 1998. They will be facing the Philadelphia Philles, who have been around since they started as the Philadelphia Quakers in 1883. In that time, they have won a single World Series, in 1980 (beat the Kansas City Royals 4 games to 2), and lost in 1915 (4-2 to the Boston Red Sox), 1950 (4-0 to the Yankees), 1983 (4-1 to Baltimore Orioles), and 1993 (4-2 to Toronto Blue Jays on Joe Carter's Series-ending home run).
My hope is that the Phillies defeat the Rays 4-2. The town of Philadelphia deserves it after the disappointment and choking (I'm looking at you, Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb!) that has characterized Philadelphia sports. The two games I hope they lose should be crushing defeats of wife-beater Brett Myers.

Currently, this post is the only result on a Google search for [Matt Garza is a tool]. Let's see how long that lasts.
Woo-hoo! I stumped the interweb.
Look on the bright side: With the end of Sox fall ball, we'll all have several months where we won't have to hear idiot announcers say "the tying run comes to the plate."
