What we possibly have going here defies the odds.  Who did the Bucs beat to get into the Super Bowl?  Answer: Philadelphia Eagles.  Who did the Lightning beat to get into the Stanley Cup finals?  Answer: Philadelphia Flyers.  If the Rays beat Boston in the ALCS, who will they play in the World Series?  Answer: Philadelphia Phillies.

     Don't think that has gone unnoticed by the Lightning and Bucs.  I just got back from Bucs Headquarters.  Derrick Brooks talked about the coincidence, and went further to say the feed factor of what the Rays are accomplishing is carrying over to their side of the sports ledger.  Jeff Faine and Michael Clayton agreed.   Tonight, almost the entire Bucs team will be rooting for the Rays in Game 5 against Boston.
