It can’t be, but it is. In the end, it seems homefield advantage for Game 7 was a big advantage. And the squander of the 8th inning was oh so painful.
But it was a wonderful season, starting from the craziness of the Japan games to the final out. Game 5 - the epic comeback - was a game for the ages.
Rays-Phillies for the World Series. How much money would you have gotten for that prediction in March? I can’t say I dislike either team very much, so I’ll have to watch as a neutral observer - lots of players I like to watch on both sides, including Longoria, Hamels, Utley, Rollins.
What could have been. What could have been.
