Sorry Boston

So the league championship series have finally come to a close. Going to be the Phillies and the Rays in the World Series.

Tough luck Boston. But you have to admit, the BoSox made it interesting. You know that after game 5 and 6 that the Rays had to be thinking "not again". Not another come back from a 3-1 deficit to win and go to the series.

But it was not to be and the Devil Rays won game 7 and put themselves in the series.

For the record, I am an Orioles fan. Yeah...sucks to be me doesn't it!

But even when the Orioles were riding high in the American League I never liked seeing the same teams (even the one I rout for) in the World Series year after year. It is nice to see new teams, or teams that haven't been there in a while, make it to the series.

Tampa Bay has never been there and for the Phillies it has been 15 years.

There are the rankings for the 30 MLB clubs for salary at the start of the 2008 season. Look at who paid and then look at who is in the World Series. You have to love it!!

So sit back all you baseball fans and enjoy the World Series.

Can the Phillies give Philadelphia that championship it wants so bad? Can Tampa Bay complete the trek from last to first?

We shall see.
