Predict the World Series

[MarkGrace]

What a swing for that stadium. From mass hysteria to complete silence.

[MarkGrace]

Wow. Now that was a turn of events. Serious momentum for the Phils going into the bottom of the 9th and a legit shot to win, to game over with Rivera taking the bump.

I hate everything about the Yankees, but watching Rivera pitch to the inner half is just a clinic. The guy is amazing.

Hey, seven new voters in the poll today? What kind of freak waits until game 4 to make his prediction?

[TripletDaddy]

I am confused. I have not watched a single WS game, but I see that the Yanks won again. And that A-Rod came up big again. My feelings are all over the map.

I hate the Yankees, so I want them to lose. BUt I don't want the Phillies to win.

I hate Shane Victorino and the stupid Phillies, so I am happy they are losing. But I don't want the Yankees to win.

I am not a fan of A-Rod, but I feel this strange happiness for him that Yankees fans will finally get off his back. A-Rod has come through in these playoffs in a major way and it looks like he will finally get a ring. The reason this makes me happy is that A-Rod was one of the biggest "never win a ring" guys standing around on the sidelines with Barry Bonds. Since I hate Barry Bonds, it will be awesome for A-Rod to win his ring and Barry can rot alone in the Hell of mediocrity, never having won a ring. Next year we need to get Griffey his ring.

I hate the Red Socks fanbase, so I am happy that they are not playing right now.

And I hate that the Dodgers didn't bother to pick up an arm this season. Now we know why....the McCourts were already planning on divorcing and didn't want to increase payroll any more than necessary. So I hate the carpetbagging McCourts, too.

Basically I am filled with a lot of baseball hate right now, so I should probably settle down and smoke some pot. Sorry, just being honest!

I agree with you about how tremendous Rivera is. I'd even narrow the plate and say that he uses the inner third as well or better than any other pitcher I've seen.

This year's last game at Yankee Stadium, live on FOX right now.

This could prove to be very prescient.

You're quite smart, fiyero.

I only like Victorino becauses he's Hawaiian. Much like the only reason I liked Benny Agbayani. But I don't like Philly. And I really don't like Yankees. And I have not watched a single second of this World Series.

SUCK IT YANKEES. Uncle Charlie, please start Cliff Lee on 1 day rest. TIA

When Philly took a 6-1 lead in the 3rd, I wondered if Manuel would pull Lee and save him for Wed or Thurs. However, the Phils biggest weakness is their bullpen, so I can't really blame him for keeping Lee in until the 7th.

I reluctantly admit that I favor New York in the Sabathia v. Blanton matchup, so I hereby change my answer in the poll from Phillies in 5 to Phillies in 6.

What kind of person changes his vote in the poll after five games?!

Pedro's agent says he had the flu during game 6 of the world series, and has lost 13 lbs in two weeks.

I don't get it, I posted a link to the story on ESPN, and CUF keeps automatically changing the link to that commercial.

Well if you want to read more you'll have to go to ESPN and find it yourself.
