Red October Likes and Dislikes

What i don't like - the team sitting around a whole week with no games to play. especially a team that was so hot sitting around just cooling off.

 

What i do like - maybe the rest will have done ryan howard some good. he couldn't be any worse in the world series, could he?

 

What i don't like - the rays are riding high

 

What i do like - Cole Hamels starting in game 1. the key to the whole series might be getting the phils back into the swing of things quickly. a hamels’ game 1 win would go a long way toward that. (as stark pointed out, sort of like the white sox contreras winning game 1 for a team that had sat for a week.

 

What i don't like - homefield advantage to the rays and brett myers not getting a home start in the entire series

 

What i do like - the rays barely beat a red sox team that doesn't have half the talent the phillies do right now.

 

What i do like - all the interest and predictions are for the rays. gammons was the only one of the espn baseball experts to pick the phillies to win the series and he was the only one who thought it would go past 5-6 games.
