Rays Fans Spooked by Beer-Throwing Passion of Towel-Waving, Jovial Fanbase
I wasn't going to post this story today because, well, we covered the majority of Philadelphia fans' storied repulsiveness quite extensively in this post. However, I must comment on St. Petersburg Times' columnist John Romano's piece "Phils' fans live down to their reputation", which is just complet...
Phillies Feel A World Title Is Very Close
What they're saying from parents' basements across the land on the Phillies' 10-2 win over the Rays in Game 4 of the World Series ... • Evan Longoria Shares An Intimate Moment With Jimmy Rollins. While accentuating another umpire blunder in this series (that’s #5 if you’re keeping track at home), th...
Angryville Prepares for The Great Unmooring
This was taken at Broad and Walnut last night about 12:47, just an hour after the game ended. Just like the night before, after that rain-delayed, preposterous walk-off win in Game 3, the city's most boisterous emptied their homes, the bars, their cars, and just took it to the street. Cops were sum...
Stand Up For Joe Blanton!
Okay. This has been a fun weekend. Don't really know what to say right now. I'm sure it'll all be covered in blogdome. But for now, for those who were there tonight, well, you know what this photo means. Maybe. For those who don't, well, it's just a photo of Jessica Biel. Everybody wins! And there'...
World Series Game Four Live Blog: Rays at Phillies
We've reached Game 4, which is traditionally known as either "The Desperation Start" or "Who the @&$^ Are You and Why Have We Pinned All Our Dreams to You?" Welcome to Andy Sonnanstine vs. Joe Blanton, your fourth starters. Andy's a soft tosser that doesn't walk a lot of fellows; Joe's a Billy Beane...
World Series Game Three: The Game That Time Forgot
Let's do some recapping for those of you who made the unwise decision of getting some of this "sleep" nonsense instead of watching one of the better World Series tilts in recent memory. The game started about two hours late due to the field being soaked in God's tears - guess it's not always sunny ...
Comcast Customers in Philly Swing, Miss at Seeing Home Runs
We started receiving rather angry emails just after midnight. No, our ex-girlfriend hadn't left her Mail Goggles off accidentally. (She never leaves it off accidentally.) The emails came instead from angry viewers in and around Philadelphia, describing their anguish and rage over missing the back-to...
World Series Game Three Live Blog: Rays at Phillies
According to our friend here and our friends Joely Fisher and Jeanne Zelasko there, we will have actual baseball tonight. As seen as TV! Needless to say, we didn't see this coming. We still don't know if this is a real nine-inning affair or if it's enough to merely get it legal. We're up for a late ...
Tiny Angel Joe Maddon Watches Over Us All
Like this poor, unfortunate sap who was ejected from Tropicana on Thursday for "misconduct," the Phillies never could quite get it together in a 4-2 loss to the Rays. What they're saying out in the ether about Game 2 of the World Series ... • Speed Read: Phillies Not Fanatical About Hitting. Decidin...
World Series Game Two Live Blog: Phillies At Rays
Pitching, we have Brett "Left Hook" Myers and James Shields, not "Hields That Begin With The Letter 'S' " on the mound. Talking, it's Joe Buck (pictured) and Tim McCarver (imagined.) Jumping, is viewers like you. * * *Top 9th 2 ...
World Series Diaryland: Everybody Wants to Reach Out And Touch Cole Hamels
Each day after the World Series, this space will serve as a reason to rundown all that happened in the Fall Classic the night before. Since nobody's watching it, this seems like a fine idea. Plus, the Phillies are involved, and you know, I'm quite fond of those guys. Historians are quick to point ou...
Two Phillie Dogs To Go, Please
Angel and Sandy of Lindenwold, N.J., prepare for an exciting Game 1 of the 2008 World Series, as Wizard Cat types a furious protest letter to PETA. Here's what they're saying on various computer tube machines about the Phillies' 3-2 victory over the Rays ... • Arms Hold Down Rays. To go into the Ora...
World Series Game One Live Blog: Phillies At Rays
Playoff baseball in Florida. Just as Abner Doubleday foretold in his hallucinations. It begins right now as Cole "Settled In" Hamels and Scott "Dialed In" Kazmir will pitch. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver will tell you what you already knew on the Fox broadcast. And this piece? Well, I call it "Lick My L...
Where My Team Stands: Philadelphia Phillies
I haven't eaten all day, just quietly sitting here watching the time go by, reveling in the moment before something inevitably goes wrong. This is the great unknown portion of the program, where you can sit back, take it all in, and just marinate in the reality that your team is inevitably part of a...
Help Us, Baseball, You're Our Only Hope
We have reason to believe that this (or something similar) will be the opening teaser that will greet baseball fans as they tune into the Fox broadcast tonight. I'm not great at reading subtext, but the theme for this World Series seems to be "America: We're Screwed, But At Least We Have Baseball!"Y...

World Series Preview: Rays Vs. Phillies
The World Series is truly my favorite week of the year. Having the World Series going on is an excuse that gets you out of anything, every year. No matter what plans I might be forced into, all I have to say is, "Hey, the World Series is on," and people understand. You know how Will gets about his ...
The Phillies Put One In the Win Column Already
Home Run Derby kicks off its World Series coverage in the classiest way possible, by pitting the Ball Girls of the Philadelphia against those people that jump on top of the dugout for the Tampa Bay Rays. So far, the Ball Girls are trouncing the Rays in online voting poll, which will hopefully be eno...
NO MORE COWBELL: The Wretchedness of Tampa Bay's Fledgling Fanbase
Yesterday, we ran The Angryville Chronicles, showcasing the worst-of-the-worst of Philadelphia's spirited sports-loving miscreants. Not surprisingly, the stories about Tampa fans were not as interesting. In fact, I received even more Philadelphia horror stories. Maybe there's some truth to this rep...
Where My Team Stands: Tampa Bay Rays
Cork Gaines is the editor and lead writer for Rays Index. He is a Tampa native and University of Iowa graduate that is currently lost in New York City. Despite this, he still maintains his status as a Tampa Bay Buccaneers season ticket holder and often makes trips back to the Bay Area just because h...
