World Series Bound

So, here we are.  162 regular season games later.  A 7-2 playoff record.  The final series against the defending champs.  Either way, there’s a story for Fox here.  Either the beginning of a dynasty or the resurrection of an older power.  I’ll go with the latter thank you very much.

Great season.  I’m shocked with how much I have been involved with the Yankees this year even though I haven’t written at all about them.  From the very beginnings in spring training and the WBC to this final series, I have been glued to the TV.  (even when that meant watching the ticker at the bottom of the screen on ESPN in a casino bar on a cruise ship)

If they don’t win, I’ll be disappointed.  Not because they should have won.  The Phillies are a good team and deserve credit and respect.  No, I’ll be disappointed because they’ll be the first Yankee team in quite some time that was likeable.  For a bunch of absurdly paid millionaires, they acted like kids out there all season long.  Professional kids, but kids nonetheless.

Well, game one is tonight.  Maybe I’ll try a live blog to see what that’s like.  Hopefully it will go better than my election day live blog and we’ll end the curse of Mike Mussina.

WHAT?!
