Why I'll root for the Phillies tonight

5) I'm a sore loser.

4) Phillies pitcher Joe Blanton. Not only did Blanton hit a home run (pitchers are traditionally not known for their hitting skills), but he hit his FIRST major league home run AND made World Series history by being the first pitcher to home run in the series since 1974.

3) I support freedom of speech. Tampa Bay self-censored their mascot, removing the "devil" from "devil rays" and renaming them "rays." Rays. As in rays of sunshine?! How dare you rename the animals! Shall we now censor the "Tasmanian devil" and rename it "mischievous beast"?!

Adam named the animals so let them be!

2) Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon wears Tina Fey/ Lisa Loeb glasses.


And the no. 1 reason why I'll have to support the Phillies against the Tampa Bay [sun] Rays tonight:

1) Motown Philly's back again.
