Default Tampa going to the WS

It is really cool that they are going to the World Series. But all the fans that are there jumping around acting like they are fans makes me want to puke. They are such a poor draw that last year when they played at Disney they did not even sell out that venue.

They draw and average of 12k fans for 10 years, now all of a sudden they have these huge crowds. I can bet that 70% of the fans cannot name 4 players from the starting line up 5 years ago.

Congrats to Tampa for going worst to first. This World Series will be the lowest viewed WS in history on TV.

i disagree this will probably be the one of the highest viewed series in along time, because it isnt two perenial powerhouses in it....plus Philly fans are hardcore so they will be watching like crazy
