NY v. LA
LA v. Phil

NY v. LA
LA v. Phil

Dodgers v. Yankees would be Nostalgic and sweet!

But ANGELS bend my Yankees over in the Playoffs, so it appears to be FREEWAY SERIES assuming Joe can stop the Dodgies from reading their press clippings and thinking they are the chosen ones!

i really hope its dodgers yankees now. i want to see a-rod cry

[George S. Patton]

First choice: Dodgers-Angels
Second choice: Dodgers-Yankees

Regardless, I'm watching the World Series no matter who is in it.

BTW, great Game 4 between the Rockies and Phillies.

[HB Pony Dad]

HR by Manny brings Dodgies to within 1.

Phil 5
LAD 4

What's up?

Too socal for everyone?

Dodgers even up the series and are off to Philly even 1-1

Today:

LA 2
Philly 1

Now I have to root for my Yankees who always bend over and lose to the Angels.

Todays odds are almost worth a bet on the Angels tonight:

$100.00 to win $160.00!

Can't see laying $170 to win $100.00 by betting the Yanks even though they should win!

Lee, Utley, Phils top Yanks in World Series opener

For me, the best reason (and as much as I hate the Yankees, the only reason) to watch the World Series is the chance for another ring for Phillies play-by-play announcer Scott Franzke. Scott is a good friend of mine, and a former intern of mine - I'd love to sit here and lie and say I'm somehow responsible for even a fraction of his success, but the fact is that he is exceptionally talented and works extremely hard at what he does, and especially after spending a few years riding buses in the minors, he deserves every level of success he earns. Dude also has earned more airtime on SportsCenter than any broadcaster I can think of, thanks to the Phillies' penchant for late-inning heroics all season.

Scott's a local guy - went to W.T. White and is an SMU alum - and the Dallas Morning News did a nice write-up about him Monday.

Continued success, Scott.

I had a couple of classes with Scott. Great guy. Hope he gets another ring.

Buying every available free agent and using an admitted steroid user really must be really satisfying, huh? (I'm with you - I hate the MFYankees, too.)

[bubba pony]

I Love the Yankees and have since I was a kid in the 50’s. It's satisfying to root for a team that commits its resources to win. Yea they got money and spend it, so what’s wrong with that? Every baseball fan either loves them or hates them. No baseball fan is neutral regarding the Yankees. You will see Yankee hats everywhere, even around the world. Even on the SMU campus. NYC is rocking today. You have to see the ticker tape victory parade down "The Canyon of Heroes". No other city can celebrate a World Series victory like NY. Start spreading the news.

[George S. Patton]

Pretty amazing that the Yankees have been in 40 of the 105 World Series and won more than one-fourth of them with 27. I congratulate them, even though I'm not a fan. But I respect the way they conduct their business.

And it was great that it happened to Philadelphia because their sports fans are such miserable human beings.
