****The Philladelpia Phillies have won the 2008 World Series. Congratulations!****

And nearly everyone else who is not one of those things agree that both teams got questionable calls (happens in every game, in every sport),, but during the World Series, nearly all of the big time calls that went the wrong way benefited the Phillies.
The calls that went TB's way kept them in games. If you want to talk about strike zones...then that's a different story. And if you wantto take it a step further and talk about Eagles and calls...then I'll probably just let you stay at the podium.

But as you said, it's pretty much irrelevant at this point.

Ska stop...there were questionable calls for both sides...
Not as major as the calls for the Phillies. The opinions of Rays fans, Phillies fans, Rays haters, and Phillies haters don't count.

I'm none of those 4 things.

And nearly everyone else who is not one of those things agree that both teams got questionable calls (happens in every game, in every sport),, but during the World Series, nearly all of the big time calls that went the wrong way benefited the Phillies.

I will admit I was rooting for the Rays just b/c of their story and I liked their style of play.. and i was pretty casual with following this series.. but i specifically remember 2 or 3 big calls during games 1 and 2 which went the Rays way. So I'm not sure it was as one-sided as you're making it.

But it doesn't matter - don't spoil this for Phils fans by nagging... i remember when you people tried to ruin my steelers SB victory a few years back with nonsense like this. The better team won then and now, as they almost always do when it counts.
Nagging? Go read the first and last things I said in my response about the Phillies winning.

Congrats to the Phillies and all of their true fans.

However I almost feel bad for you guys because of the circumstances surrounding how this World Series ended. And as an unbiased fan (Angels fan), I think you guys had a number of calls in the World Series go your way that were pretty big.

But none of that will change the record books, which will show that you guys are the champions of the 2008 MLB season.

Oh, but no one wants to comment on that.

What do you mean?

If you want to talk about calls, they should have called it a game at the 5th inning. By rule, the Phillies should have won 2-1. The conditions were bad andunplayable.

But the truth of the matter is, IT DOESN'T MATTER

[lakersmets49ers]

[darthska]

^ I love that about sports, especially championship days. All of a sudden, entire factories and retail stores and what not are full of people with the flu orMunchausen's Syndrome or something.

 

[jerry everyday]

My buddy just texted me that since I called out on Friday first, he can't. AHAHAHAAHA

People shouldn't have to come up with an excuse.

Congrats to the Phillies tho, and this is coming from a Braves fan.

But don't worry Atlanta will avenge their woes against Philly next season.
