World Series Game 6 in the Bronx, NY

We return home for the Yankees for hopefully, the final showdown.  They have 3 games under their belt, but Philly still has 2 in their favor.  How iconic is this imagery? You have such a loved and revered man in Andy Pettitte pitching against basically, the Prince of Darkness in Pedro Martinez, who the Yankee fans loathe.  Yet, New York remains the Evil Empire.  I hope to welcome new-found fans to the Dark Side, since New York ends-up winning...

WS Game 5 in Philadelphia, PA

The Yankees lead the Series with 3 wins, but the Phillies still clutch to their 1 victory.  Lots of hits and runs accounted for the large score of this match.  Slightly heart-breaking, but also a tiny bit predictable for the Yanks' fans, Philly keeps the competition interesting with their second win.  When all was said and done the Phils ended-up taking this crucial game with a final score of a measly 6 for New York as opposed to the dominating 8 of the...

World Series Game 4 in Philadelphia, PA (Phillies 4, Yankees 7)

Looking to ties things up, since Philly only has 1 win as opposed to the Yankees having 2, the Phils send Joe Blanton to the mound to try and make short work of the Yanks.  But they have their own Ace up their sleeve in Sabathia, who pitches on only 3 days of resting.  The Yankees look to take a huge advantage down in Pennsylvania, so that maybe they can claim the title back up in the Bronx where they belong.  The final score...

World Series Game 3 in Philadelphia, PA (Phillies 1, Yankees 1)

With the Series now tied one a piece, the NL and AL champs head down the New Jersey Turnpike to the Phillies' home turf.  Cole gets Jeter out quickly.  Damon slaps a weak out, and Tex gets called out on strikes.  With the very 1st pitch from Andy, Rollins spanks the ball past A-Rod's glove.  Shane pops up and out, while Jim steals 2nd base.  Utley K's, as does Ryan so no score surfaces.  Cole beans Alex to start...
