Philadelphia Phillies Can Win 2008 World Series Tonight

Monday, October 27th, 2008

The Philadelphia Phillies are one win away from their second ever World Series Championship, their only series win coming in 1980.   The Phillies lead the Tampa Bay Rays three games to one. 

Philadelphia has not had a professional sports team win its league title since the Philadelphia 76′ers swept the Los Angeles Lakers in 1983. 

Game Five is scheduled for tonight at Citizen’s Bank Park with Cole Hamels pitching for the Phillies and this Game Five is a very hot ticket as fans look to be part of baseball, World Series and Philadelphia history. 

If the Tampa Bay Rays can start hitting and find a way to defeat the Phillies and their ace, the Rays will force Game Six back at Tropicana Field.

St. Louis Cardinals Raise Ticket Prices for 2009

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

The 2008 Major League Baseball season is not even over yet, but the St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they are raising 2009 ticket prices for their season ticket holders.  The Cardinals decided not to raise prices on 70% of New Busch Stadium citing the recent economic news.  On average, 2009 Cardinals season ticket prices will rise 1.6%. The Cardinals will play host to the MLB All-Star Game in July 2009.

Tampa Bay Rays vs Philadelphia Phillies in World Series 2008

Monday, October 20th, 2008

The Tampa Bay Rays and Philadelphia Phillies will play each other in the World Series which begins Wednesday at Tropicana Field.  Even with a historic comeback in Game 5 and a Game 6 win, the ghosts were not with the Boston Red Sox tonight.  Tampa Bay outdueled the Red Sox 3-1 to win Game 7 and the 2008 ALCS and become American League Champions.  This will be Tampa Bay’s first trip to the World Series and has been Tampa’s first trip to the postseason after ten years of futility.  The Rays may believe they can do anything now that they have disposed of the defending world champions in a grueling seven game series.  There are a lot of great young players on both the Phillies and the Devil Rays and it should be a great and evenly matched World Series.
