It's possible that tonight, for the first time in the history of major American sports, a championship will be won on a day in which a complete game isn't played in its entirety. We'll tune in to the game, knowing that we may very well see only three innings, but feeling as though we're going to see the same nine innings we see every other day. It'll end before we're emotionally ready, and then, no more baseball for months. Only incomplete passes, invisible fouls, and car doors frozen shut. Whee..What if the Phillies do win? A nightmare scenario is presented in this afternoon's Dugout, after the jump.
The Phillies and the Rays are headed to the World Series. It couldn't be more exciting if it was the Yankees vs. the Red Sox! After boring divisional series and a snorefest of an ALCS, the Rays are brandishing their Rayhawks and cowbells and are ready to ring-loudly and have hair at the visiting Philadelphia fans. What do the Phillies have?
