World Series Prediction: Phillies Win In 5

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:56:01 +0000

Phillies in 5. In the series that’s been dubbed The Liberty Series (Statue v. Bell), the I-95 Series, the AmTrak Series, or even a throwback series matching up some of baseball’s oldest teams, the Phillies have the edge. I’m calling it Cheesesteaks v. Cheesecakes. It has a ...

After two games we are all tied up at 1-1. So who's got the advantage now?

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:29:36 +0000

Well at this point it's the Phillies, at least from this writer's perspective. By coming away with a split and taking a game in NY, they have given themselves the opportunity close out the series at home or come back to New York up 4-2. Without winning that game they wouldn't have those ...
