Will you be watching?

YES!!!
It seemed improbable, but the 2008 World Series will be without Boston, LA, LA (b), and Chicago! What a glorious weekend. I honestly am shocked that Tampa was able to pull out Game 7. After the stomach-punch of Game 5, I didn't think there'd be any way Tampa could pull themselves together to beat the Sawx.
My question is: now that the hated teams are out of the playoffs, and we have a World Series matchup that doesn't include a high-profile media team, will you be watching, and how much?

Hells Yes.
I might miss bits and pieces , life just will never do what I tell it, but I definitely will be interested and following it. For example if the Ray’s win or go the distance will it change the when managers use their best reliever? How will all the young players handle the pressure? How will the bulk of the Phillies staff and defense handle 1-2 runs games against a team that puts that pressure on them with their speed? Will it matter with that live yard in Philly and some of the thumpers they have? And of coarse will Pedro do something improbable in a good way?

There's no option to vote F yes
I’m bringing my laptop to class Wednesday night to follow Game 1.

Of course
There’s still baseball to be watched, so I have to enjoy it while I can.

I want to see Upton
hit more homers in the post season than he did in the regular season.

Absolutely watching,
opening day is a long time away. Get my fix while I can. Bonus: No team I loathe playing
People ask me what I do in winter when there's no baseball. I'll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

I’m psyched about the matchup, I can’t wait.

Will be watching.
Even though Fox hates it, I am even more interested in this year’s series because it doesn’t have a NY, LA, or Chicago team, or the Red Sox. I like seeing the Rays because it gives me hope as to what the Giants could become by 2010, and I feel the Phillies have been underrated for a while now.
NO, we're not trading Matt Cain! What's that you say? We are? Armageddon is upon us!

With Pedro (Pete Happy) Feliz and Scott Eyre in the fold, and the Phils
representing the NL, I’m thinking my rooting interest may lie with them.
But I’m conflicted enough to know I wont pick a side to root for until it starts.
Intellectually (as if you’d ever connect that as a concept with me), I do like
the R*ays in six.

I will enjoy a series where I don’t have any serious animosity towards either side (except for Victorino and Brett Myers, but they can’t all be winners).

It is the last baseball game(s)
for four months. I like baseball, ergo I will be watching :-)

Yea I'm going to be watching...
Only thing that’ll hold me back is when I work, I’ll only be able to catch some of the games probably.

I’ll miss the first game, but will be watching the rest.

I bought the McCovey Package
the one where you miss every game, and then come here for hysterical screaming, and open weeping.

The sounds like going to the dentist and purposely refusing pain killers for the root canal.
