The Phillies and the Rays are headed to the World Series. It couldn't be more exciting if it was the Yankees vs. the Red Sox! After boring divisional series and a snorefest of an ALCS, the Rays are brandishing their Rayhawks and cowbells and are ready to ring-loudly and have hair at the visiting Philadelphia fans. What do the Phillies have?

The catchphrase of a lifetime.

So you do not think of me as a full retard, please read this before continuing (if you can make any sense of it, we need to focus our blog around the King's English). Tonight's Dugout, the last pre-Show Dugout of the season, is after the jump.

The Dugout

DastardlyAndUtley: Tomorrow night is Game 1 of the World Series. I've gone over it in my head a thousand times.
DastardlyAndUtley: It seems impossible. It seems like a dream from which we've yet to wake up.
DastardlyAndUtley: We've lost more games than any franchise in baseball history, but after deep meditation I've come to a question that disproves the naysayers and any bit of statistical baseball knowledge I can find.
DastardlyAndUtley: "Why can't us?"
MindYourBisenius: It is good question. Why can't us? Of my Mom did asking me that.
InTheMidnightHoward: Hitting with home runs, the Phillies can't help did win!
DastardlyAndUtley: Exactly! See? That was the most literal way I could express it.
TheKyleKendrick: However, question. The Rays where are a good team. Why can't them?
InTheMidnightHoward: oh no, have did not think of that
NeedleNoseMyers: yeah Chase, why can't them?
DastardlyAndUtley: Them are young or inexperienced. Us, onto the other hand, us is tested and hungry.
MoyerBodyGirl: now when you've say "us," does you mean "me" as well?
DastardlyAndUtley: No, you am are not included in the classification of "us," you are having been old or terrible
MoyerBodyGirl: I figuring.
InTheMidnightHoward: the Rays are employed a character naming "Evan Longoria" ... but the television also featuring a character what named "Eva Longoria" ... having been the same person???
DastardlyAndUtley: No, in fact, them are different.
InTheMidnightHoward: but the names with one letter spelled different
DastardlyAndUtley: Us seeing what you've saying, is it pretty funny, we should talk about it more often
MoyerBodyGirl: someone should asked him about it
DastardlyAndUtley: Anyone us having questions about the World Series?
MindYourBisenius: I am'd /raises hand
DastardlyAndUtley: are you even on our roster
MindYourBisenius: How should've we pitch to the Rays? B.J. Upton driving in many runs batted ins, and scored in runs.
DastardlyAndUtley: Well question! Do what we have did of since day one: throw fast balls downward toward the middle
DastardlyAndUtley: Our batsmans will swing as hard as they can, and the games will result from home runs amongst the fence
DastardlyAndUtley: if we got in trouble, Charlie will brung in Jamie to throwed sh***y lob pitches
MoyerBodyGirl: Kiss from my ass! My lob pitches go almost miles per hour!
DastardlyAndUtley: how old is you
MoyerBodyGirl: not knowing, what number came after "forever old"
