Dodgers in Series would overlap Cup

[Kasept]

Just occured to me to check the World Series schedule figuring that if the Dodgers made it, the NL games might be played out West when I was there for the Breeders' Cup...

Sure enough, Game 3 would be at Chavez Ravine on the night of Day 2 of the Cup. Point being, if the Dodgers are in the Series, how many in Los Angeles will pay much attention to the BC?


2008 WORLD SERIES SCHEDULE:

Aren't our connections strong in Tampa? Think I've got ties for tix in LA and Philly... Boston is hopeless these days. In '67 and '75, we had season tickets.

Tampa is no problem. Boston is not easy though we may have a backdoor there.

I can.....but I won't be going out West and I'm pissed that apparently I can't go to Fenway either.

Then again, maybe it will be Phili-Tampa. I do know one thing.....this entire post makes me want to make a huge bet on the Phillies.

As sick as it makes me feel as a Met fan, I think this is the Phillies' year.

I'm rooting for them the rest of the way. The fans in Philly deserve it. Anybody that would actually pay money to see a baseball game at the Vet should have had a championship ages ago (kind of like Shea ).

dodgers wont make it past this round..imo

I wouldn't bet too much on any Philly sports team in a playoff series and/or championship game.

In your opinion, they weren't gunna be around long against the Cubs, either. It's a good match-up for us. Certain teams are better for us than others. One thing I guarantee is I ain't gunna btch if they get beat. They've been great, and I appreciate how far they've come. If we can't get there, that's the team(Phils) I would have liked to see get there. Both organizations were overdue for some luck.

I hope you did this.

I would, as a Phillies fan, like to thank kasept for making this thread! mush on baby!

I would rather tune into a 65 and over curling match than watch a World Series between the Rays and Phillies. The Breeder's Cup is now in no danger of losing any Horse racing fan to this ratings debacle the World Series will turn out to be.

No offense, but I'll watch the Rays in a World Series but will/would not have watched a game of the Carmines again.

to each his own, but the Rays are a great story and an exciting team, and that's coming from a White Sox fan

I didn't watch 5 innings of the Sox-Rockies Series last year.

I've been rooting for the Phillies. The possible Dodgers-in-Series element was an interesting sidebar to the BC.. Have to say at this point though, with Rays-Phils, I think I'd have to back Tampa.

Rays-Phils will be interesting for the local Florida fans as I'm sure there are tons of Phillies fans in the greater Tampa area because of Clearwater and its' long ties to the Phillies organization as winter home.

You're giving L.A. too much credit for caring about anything in sport (except Scuds, of course.)

Isn't that from racing fans though? I don't think the general public gives a rat's ass about the BC. The racing fans will come, the others won't. If attendance is down this year it is probably due to the apathy for the synthetic that is leading to a lot of people not making the trip out from the east coast.
