Why the Rays might win the ALCS

No, the reasons aren't Kazmir, Garza, and Sonnestine. The Angels had Lackey, Santana, and Saunders, and that didn't matter. The reason the Rays might beat the Sox is because they are too young to know that when they play the almighty Red Sox they are apparently supposed to completely forget all baseball fundamentals they performed perfectly in the regular season, and instead fold meekly in the playoffs.

I don't really care who wins, so long as the Phillies don't. And I guess it would be nice if it weren't the BoSox, just to protect SHK from Beantown buffoonery.

Of course, it would chap Yankee fans, which is its own reward...

I hate to say it, but I've been in Boston so long I actually hate the Sox and Pats more than Yanks and Giants. I couldn't have been happier watching the SuperBowl last year.

Best case is Dodgers win it all for two reasons. First, it means Philthies lost. Second, it means Red Sox West won (Manny / Nomar / Lowe), which would REALLY chap everyone out here.
