I don't think anyone would argue that the American League has been much better than the National the past 10 years. Look at the All-Star game records, World Series titles, inter-league play, etc., but in predicting the Rays would win I forgot to factor in the "Tiger factor" that a young team which has been horrible finally makes it to the Series and is so excited just to be there that they quit playing to win and just blask in the moment. The mediocre Cardinals won a Series that way and now it looks like the Phillies will also.
Sour grapes from an AL fan.
Tampa Bay has looked more like the 2007 version in the Series. The Phillies are hot at the right time and I give them kudos.
I will never agree with the Bruces again (who predicted the Rays to win).
