The Rays already won their "World Series" when we beat the Red Sox. They used all their emotion up in that series. Not only did we (the grounds crew) notice it but so did George Hendrick and some other coaches. We were talking to him about it before game 2 and he was worried that beating the Sox -which were better than the Phills took a toll.

Being realistic and knowing that we probably weren't as good as the Sox, it's hard to think that we can come back . IF...IF we can get past Hammels tonight, we have a chance....albeit a slim one.

On another note.....the Rays treated the full time employees to all expense paid trip to game 3 and 4 up in Philly. The fans were so bad there that they needed extra security because fans were "animals" as the media put it. I guess they were throwing food and beer all over the kids in Rays gear and calling the women vulgar things just for being, well a women in Rays gear.
Talk about a real home field advantage....they had anyone without Phillies gear in fear.

However....the Phills' players have been so polite. They are the ONE team that will use the trash cans provided. Dobbs, Stairs and even Howard got up off of the bench to throw shtuff away. Everyone else (besides the Tigers and Reds) are pigs and think they are too good to use trash cans.
