I didn't really have a bias in this series, except pedro martinez. I cant stand him. So i am extremely happy that he had a horrible night and had to leave in the 4th, and also that is the game that the yankees won the whole thing. Maybe that will bring his ego down out of the stratosphere? Probably not.
he great American game. Great that is except for the mind numbing tedium of the whole thing. Baseball has some of the fattest arsed and overpaid athlete's? in the world. Although you'd be hard pressed to call some of these players even passably fit what with their fat arses. I know enough with the arses already, but come on get into shape people or perhaps it's just the clingy outfits. O.k. back to the game itself.
As with many American Sports there is a great deal of standing around, contemplating of navels, mucho getting ready, intense debating of what to do next, thinking about what to do next, talking about what to do next, pointing at things, spitting, stomping of ground, chewing of cheeks, signaling to catchers, placing of feet, readying of hands and ball and many other things ending in .ing! If you can stay awake long enough for the opening pitch then perhaps you have the mind-set to enjoy the sport of Baseball, I myself just don't have the patience and unless I have money riding on the game or it's a World Series (the world being made up of um........well, just America pretty much, now that's a small world isn't it)...then I don't think I'm going to make it past the 1st 10 minutes.
Hate to rain on your parade...but the country is underwhelmed.
In these economic times millions of people can't even afford to go to a baseball game.
And watching these spoiled-brats who's bodies, salaries, stadium and ticket prices are all on steroids...and who live in some kind of insulated netherworld...nobody can relate to... just doesn't do much for most people anymore.
The "old-towne team" feeling is long gone.
Good for them....and nobody else...and they're getting a great big "so what" from America.
It just goes to show, if you have hundreds of millions in payroll every year, every decade you might win a world series !!
Congrats !
Let's see - A-Rod (steroids), Pettit (steroids) - does that taint this World Series victory........Hmmmmmmmm I am glad it was Hideki Matsui that won two (2) of the games for the Yankees. He deserved the MVP for the Yankees. Too bad for Chase Utley - what an incredible series for him.
OK, they won. I accept it, just like medication you don't want to take, but you just do it and move on. Those who are joining the band wagon will leave it just as fast. Money well spent by Steinbrenner. He followed the family tradition...., BUY IN JULY!
They spent a BILLION in a decade and only won ONE world series??? They're still LOSERS!!!!! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!
Foolio I gotta agree with you! Ten years in the making for one world series. Congrats to Yankees! and all their fans. It is kind of sad though, Matsui has been in the United States five or six years and can't speak a lick of english
Screw the Yanks! All that money they have to spend just to win ONE Series in the past ten years? So what's to celebrate? More relief then anything! B-O-R-I-N-G!!!
The game was so emotional. I love the Yankee's,
the all the haters out there. Yankee's are the best and you guys wont admit it! :-p
Congratulations to the Yankees and thanks to the Phillies who excellence helped to make it such an exciting series.
