I know as a Clevelander I was not supposed to enjoy watching this World Series. And, yes, while it was physically painful watching C.C. and Cliff Lee square off, knowing that one of them was going to get a ring, I couldn’t look away. It’s like a James Bond movie, or a Real World marathon [...]
Gone Astray
puristbleedspinstripes.com 10/29/2009 — Sometimes things don't go the way you want. It has happened before, and it will happen again. It wasn't as though CC Sabathia collapsed or had some sort of awful performance--the two runs surrendered were the same as in his ALDS game one performance--it was that Cliff Lee pitched the game of his ...
The Yankees
myteamrivals.typepad.com 11/5/2009 — As you know the Bombers are in their 40th World Series appearance and need only one more win to make it 27 World Championships. Having made the playoffs 14 of the past 15 years and in their 4th World Series this decade and their 7th since 1996 the Yanks are continuing to roll along in the ...
2009 World Series Game One Live Blog: Cliff Lee vs. CC Sabathia in the Bronx
the700level.com 10/28/2009 — As Philly sports fans, this is pretty much the pinnacle. Our Phillies are the reigning World Champions of Baseball and they now have the opportunity to defend that title against the New York Yankees. Sure, this Yankees team may have a slight advantage on paper and the luxury of playing an ...
I Hate the Yankees And CC But.....
duelingcouches.blogspot.com 25 days ago — As a man involved in a Scotch Club and who takes his scotch very seriously, you have to appreciate the hefty pitcher buying every single teammate a bottle of Blue Label Johnny Walker. This is what CC said about it: “This has been an unbelievable year for me, playing alongside some of the best ...
Too Bad I'm Not A Parent...
fackyouk.blogspot.com 11/4/2009 — Or else I could teach my children the virtues of hating the Yankees ( h/t Joe P ): My mom, Michele, is one of the nicest people in the world (I'm admittedly a bit biased, but this is true). She finds the good in everyone. Well, just about everyone. She cannot stand the New York Yankees! This ...
World Series Game 5: So Close, So Far Away
fackyouk.blogspot.com 11/2/2009 — For the first time in almost one month, the Yankees will play three games on three consecutive days. We've become so used to having to wait in between games that what is the standard during the regular season - the three game series - now feels a little strange. Those last three straight games ...

That ball is going exactly where he wants it to. Because Cliff Lee is pitching it.
Was it just me, or was this the hardest Game One of a World Series to watch, ever?
I am twenty-four years old, and thus, I have spent the majority of my baseball-loving life watching tonight’s ...
World Series Game 1: Get off the ledge, everyone! It's only one game!
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 10/29/2009 — Last night was a bad loss, but it's still only one game. One game, not four, unless they somehow changed the rules and are giving the World Series trophy to the Phillies just because they dominated the Yankees in Game 1. The game reminded me of Opening Day at the new Yankee Stadium. In both ...
Yankees Win! All is Wrong in the Sports World
sportsthenandnow.com 11/5/2009 — Sporting the highest payroll in baseball, the New York Yankees finally regained the World Series title for the first time since 2000.
In a decade in which greed and excess have been dominant themes in all walks of life, it may be only fitting that the final major sports championship would be ...
Game One Nightmare in the Bronx
deepleftfield.com 11/1/2009 — I will try not to blow this out of proportion, THAT much. I know we were not a contender at all this season, nor were we some decent pitching away from being there. Well, maybe pitching was the difference…but still, I am trying to act as though us Indian fans are above blaming problems on ...

NY Post: Sports 11/5/2009
The entire Yankees organization was focused on putting the Phillies to sleep and celebrating a World Series title last night with a victory in Game 6 at Yankee Stadium.
Of course, that's what happened with Mariano Rivera posting the final five out...
Title shared by fathers & sons —
NY Post: Sports 11/5/2009
EVEN in the middle of the clamor and the clatter, even at the top of the world, this remains a game about fathers and sons, about the passage of time and the passing of the seasons. All around the freshly crowned champions of baseball came offertorie...
