The Phils have a chance. Until they play the Cubbies, that is.

I hate that ballparks, or any stadium for that matter, are named after corporate sponsors. Some of the old ones are fine that have been around forever and a day like Wrigley Field. Okay, let me qualify that statement a bit... I hate when pre-existing stadiums, et al, change their names to represent a corporate sponsor. When it's built with the intent of having a corporate name it's not as bad although it does cheapen it a bit. Comiskey Park in Chicago (White Sox) changing it's name to Cellular One Park or whatever the hell it's called now. Rosemont Horizon (great concert venue and home of the Chicago Wolves IHL team) changing to something or other. I still call them by their old names. I heard that when Bon Jovi played at the Horizon a year or so ago, he announced to the crowd that it will always be the Rosemont Horizon to him no matter what everyone else calls it. Big friggin' cheer erupted from the audience.
