The Rays are headed to Philadelphia for a three game series tonight, and nothing but horrible, horrible memories are waiting for them there. Several members of the team and staff remember the awful, no good 2008 World Series that included rain delays for Games 5 and 6, spread over three days of play, and included the Rays having to stay at a hotel in Delaware while playing in Philly.
Personally, I've blocked out the series entirely, and just try to remember Aki scooping up the ball and that ALCS dogpile. It's awful to remember any part of what followed, and Rocco Baldelli agrees:
I hate doing this.
