Ugh...I don't think I could take another WS of rooting for the Phillies. I died a little inside last time.

After what they went through in 08, my Tampa Bay Rays friends rooted for the Yanks all the way. Such a shame really. Winning made both the Red Sox and Philly fanbases just as bad or worse than Yankee fans.

More to the point,the disrespect shown to other teams that beat them is amazing. If a team like the Giants or Rangers beat the Yankees, they're gritty,showing no fear, etc but if they beat Boston or Philly, they just got lucky.

My hope is all three teams get knocked out again, and other teams and their fanbase get to enjoy the fall classic isntead of the three most arrogant and rude fanbases in baseball.
