Let it snow

Rain suspends Game 5, which the Rays and Phillies will try to finish Tuesday. That's one off day down, 156 to go before Opening Day.

The better team?

Hold off on that conclusion that the Phillies are better than the Rays just because they're winning the World Series.

Is fan loyalty bunk?

The readers write -- some more! -- about bandwagoning and whether fandom is really just a consumer choice.

By King Kaufman October 22, 2008

Go ahead, jump on the bandwagon
