MLB and Fox are considering cancelling the Rays / Phillys series due to lack of interest

Granted, this series may lose some of the hard-core fans from the major-market cities whose teams were such miserable failures (talkin' NYC/Boston/Chicago and of course LA) but it will gain many more casual fans and maybe even non-fans cuz' it will be such a scrappin' contest. Plenty of action every inning. My one beef is the late start time which denies the younger K*ds a chance to see the later innings, at least in the Eastern time zone. Purely a marketing decision by MLB and a poor one.

Actually Jazz, I will be supporting the Phils because I do believe in the concept of NL loyalty. Good luck.

Any young pitcher could benefit from watching Mr. Hamels' masterful performance against a variety of hitting styles. His (and of course Mr. Ruiz's ) pitch selection will be studied, you better believe. The Rays had best gird their hindquarters if Mr.'s Ryan, Burrell and Rollins awake from their slumber with the lumber.
