Who wants Revenge?

PrintIts pretty clear that the Tampa Bay Rays are going to make it to the postseason. It is also clear that they can beat any other playoff team in the AL.
But after seeing the Philadelphia Phillies make a run and take the NL wildcard lead, I started to have visions of a 2008 World Series rematch. So I ask the question to all Rays fans.
Who wants revenge?
If it were to happen again, I believe that the Rays will have the advantage this time around.
1) The Rays are faster and have nearly perfected small ball
2) Replace Scott Kazmir and Edwin Jackson with David Price and Jeff Niemann and things would be much different. Even if the Phillies have Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt now.
3) In 2008 three consecutive games in Philadelphia did them in. Not this time. Thanks to the NL winning the All Star Game it is the Rays who will have a stretch of three straight home games.
Since the beginning of August, I predicted a Rays vs. Reds World Series but I've started to pull for the 08 rematch.
