World Series moves to Chilly Philly


Ah yes, no more roof, no more balmy weather. The last holdouts in major league baseball 2008 will move outdoors to the roars of Philly fans, where chilly means chilly, not chili as in hot dog n'.

Let's see, what's the weather forecast for Game 3? Thunderstorms in the afternoon, some rain in the evening, a bit chillier than Tampa Bay. Forget the rain- there's more to be concerned about for Philly.

Their "0-for-19 skid with runners in scoring position was the second-longest drought to start a World Series since the 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers finished 0-for-22 against Baltimore, according to the Elias Sports Bureau."

A home field advantage can only help. Buck up, Charlie. It's the city of Rocky Balboa.

And just think- the Rays have to get used to things like this:

The Phanatic would scare anyone!
