There is a god.
Justice has been served.
Fantasy owners across the country are falling over themselves to grab David Price in their keeper leagues. I don't care about the Rays and I'm not jumping on the bandwagon. I'm just enjoying the similarities between how I felt about the Yankees v. Red Sox and how I now feel about the Red Sox v. Rays.
Boston Fan, you are now everything you used to hate. You are the evil empire. Hate is a strong motivating factor. I will root for a team like I've been a fan for years if they are playing against a team I hate. Sadly, this almost makes it a bad thing that the Red Sox are done. Nobody outside of Philly and Tampa will truly care about this series. Some people will passively root for the upstart Rays team but I think that's a bit misguided. The Rays have been terrible their short time in MLB which gave them an opportunity to build their arsenal of young studs.
Philadelphia is mired in a championship drought that, for a city with a team in all 4 major sports leagues, is rivaled only by the city of Cleveland (Cubs fan, nobody wants to hear it). Philly hasn't seen a championships since the 76ers won one in 1983. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Either way I won't really be upset about who wins the title. I just won't really be rooting one way or another.

After One Liberty Place opened, Philadelphia's franchises began a pattern of narrow, but spectacular, failures to win a conference or national championship: the Flyers lost the Stanley Cup Finals twice (1987—in seven games to the Edmonton Oilers, a mere two months after One Liberty Place opened, and again in 1997 in a four-game sweep by the Detroit Red Wings); the Phillies lost the 1993 World Series in six games to the Toronto Blue Jays, with the Series ending on Joe Carter's famous game-ending home run; the 76ers lost the 2001 NBA Finals to the Los Angeles Lakers in five games; and the Eagles lost three straight NFC Championship games from the 2001 through 2003 seasons, before finally breaking through after the 2004 season and reaching Super Bowl XXXIX, only to lose to the New England Patriots by three points.
Either way I won't really be upset about who wins the title. I just won't really be rooting one way or another.
