For the Rangers in the World Series? And why?

Dbacks. I'd rather get small balled to death than get into another slugfest. Also, I don't want to play 2-3-2 in Philly. Getting cold.
It's going to be about 45* in Philly next Tuesday and Wednesday. No thank you.

Point well taken. However, in 2008 we played the Tampa Bay Rays. NOBODY cared about them, not even their "home town fans". World Series tickets are almost impossible to get in Philly, so we had tons of fans flying down there so they could see the World Series. Airfare and tickets in Tampa were in many cases cheaper than a ticket in Philly. There were as many, or more Phillies fans in Tampa than Rays fans. Lots of Philly transplants as well.Water Boy said:
2008 and 2022 are in the top 5 of least watched World Series of all time. Both included the Phillies. Not sure the Phillies are the national draw you think they are.
Let's see how the ALCS went this year.....rackmonster said:
Well you won't have to worry about playing in the cold. My Phillies went into the deep freeze at the Plate last night. We came home only having to win one game, the D-Backs had to win two, and they did. Can't argue with that. I'm Disappointed , but not upset. Congrats D-Backs.
Just my 2 cents...I think the TV ratings for this World Series will be in the toilet. You got 2 teams from the Sunbelt with hardly any national following. A Phillies-Astros WS would have had much more "juice" nationally.
