November 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) I still think that was a boring series. The only feel good moment for me is Rivera. He's so durable, consistent. It's fun to watch him pitch. Just like starters can learn from watching Buehrle work, relievers could learn a lot watching Rivera. He's a god. I hope the Phillies are done for a while; no need to see them in the WS again unless we are playing and beating them. Yeah it was. I watched more baseball today than the rest of the World Series combined. I even went to the store in the bottom of the 5th and missed 1.5 innings.
November 5, 200916 yr It's weird when the moneybag Yankees win it all. It's almost like it wasn't real baseball. Hope they don't win it again for a while.

All the Yankee pitchers do. Marte—8" off home plate and he gets a strike because of the uniform he's in. And we know Damaso Marte better than most, don't we? I would not be at all surprised if the Yankees were buying umpires. I know, it may sound like a petty drunk posting—and that's at least half true—but look at the tapes. Every call went the Yankees' way in this Series. Utley out when he was clearly safe. Several ball and strike calls that if were thrown by Yankees, would have been strikes.
November 5, 200916 yr Oh hey look, ESPN has a pitch by pitch account of Matsui's first homerun off Pedro. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/200...&id=4624983 As if that matters
November 5, 200916 yr The Yankees winning is somehow good for baseball I guess. I watched very little post season baseball which is sad. Now when they go out and get Holliday and Figgins I can not care about next post season as well if the Sox do not make it. I wonder how they plan on building their rotation. What is sad is that a Kei Igawa signing can hurt a franchise but the Yanks can just shrug it off. I think the owners want the Yankees and Red Sox to control everything then they have an excuse for not spending. Kind of like now the McCaskey's have to spend money because of the cap.

If Hamels can figure anything out and Happ develops like a rookie starter should, this Phillies team could easily be back next year. Remember, they get Lee a full year next year.
November 5, 200916 yr For once, I'm actually glad that the Yankees won the damn thing. It's been too long.

November 5, 200916 yr Girardi helps a motorist in a crash at 3 AM driving home from game 6. Him & Pettitte both drove through a drunken-driving checkpoint set up near there. If I ever won a World Series, I definitely wouldnt be in any condition to make it through a DUI checkpoint... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/playoffs/200...tory?id=4625899
