The postseason is here. 8 teams remain. Who ya got?

It would be neat to see the Cubs win, exactly 100 years after their last World series victory.

Of course, it would be nice to see the Phillies win as well, since their my home team by default.

Basically, I just hope a National League team wins it all

Go Sox (RED that is) Go!

I could cheer for the Cubbies for their history if my Sox get knocked out. Though I love Manny and am cheering Dodger Blue as well

I always liked Joe Torre despite my hatred for the Yankees, I like Manny Ramirez, and I really liked Orel Hershiser as a kid. Thus, being a pretty casual baseball fan, I will root for the Dodgers.

Since the cubs were embarassed I will root for the Rays. Don't they have the smallest payroll in baseball?

Bad day in sports for me lol.....

LA's loss is particulary disappointing, I think they are done.

If the Sox win tonite everything is AOK, if not, it's curtains!

Bloody Wakefield..... his pitches are like beach balls not marbles tonite

The sexy WS matchup isn't going to happen....

You have to admire the Rays swagger though......

I would never switch sides (no sox fan ever could) but this Ray's team could be headed for greatness

Glad I stayed up to watch that. I had a feeling they'd come back, just like the feeling I had in 2004. Of course, I knew they'd win the whole series against the Yankees, but this time, just that game against the Rays ;)

As a big Yankee fan for ages I'm so happy that the Rays pulled it off. I could not stand to see the Bosux win another one. I woulda taken next year off from Baseball if they did. Go Baby Rays!

Thats ok, I felt the same way when Boone hit that bomb to win game 7 back in 03

I'm sure that comeback the next year got you over that though. That Boone shot means nothing to me now after that collapse by us. I blamed Torre for a lot of stupid decisions that series, but thats the past.

I agree the past is the past. Torre made alot of mistakes that series, and things all aligned for the Sox.

But my heart sank when Boone went yard. This year, I felt that the Rays were going to take out the Sox anyways, despite where my heart was.

The Rays have the swagger of champions..... and the Phillies have Hamels

I think he will. I mean, I just don't see the Rays recovering from a 3-1 deficit.

Well, the umpires made some dubious calls...

And the Rays didn't play like they did in the ALCS...

But still, I'm happy for the Phillies, 15 years later they got revenge! :)

And this is waaaay better than seeing the Red Sox celebrating again :D

It's not the Red Sox fault they have the best colors, nicest uniforms, the greatest stadium and the fenway frank
