The Best Team Money Can Buy Won the 2009 World Series as the Yankees Defeat the Phillies 4 Games to 2 in Convincing Fashion

The New York Yankees defeated the Philadelphia Phillies (aka Phillthies) last night 7-3 at Yankee Stadium to clinch the 2009 World Series 4 games to 2. Godzilla (Hideki Matsui .615 BA) played like a real monster in this series. The Yankee DH went 3 for 4, HR with 6 RBIs and was awarded the MVP in this years Fall Classic. I lost count on the number of times Joe Buck stated that if Matsui hits a triple he’d the first player in World Series history to hit for the cycle. Fox usually comes at you with lots of useless stats. There is no way Godzilla could get to 3rd base with his knees. Matsui got to second because the center and right fielder collapsed on the ball that was hit off the fence in right center and it took a hard carom towards the field. But to me the story of the series wasn’t Pedro Martinez imploding or Godzilla’s blast to the upper deck in the bottom of the 2nd inning. It was Phillies’ Ryan Howard (.174 BA) and Mr. Bigmouth Jimmy Rollins (.217 BA) not showing up at the plate. Howard struck out 13 times in the Series which is a complete joke. Bronx Bombers Mark Teixeira (.136 BA) and Alex Rodriguez (aka A-Roid .250 BA) didn’t show up offensively either. It was Yankee Captain Derek Jeter (.407 BA) whom to me was the real star for the Yankees. His tremendous consistency is unparalleled in the game today. The last World Series victory for the Yankees was in the 2000 Subway Series when the Steroid Bunch defeated their cross town rival New York Mets. For the New York Yankees coming into the season with the highest salary in Major League Baseball anything less then a World Series victory would have been failure. Congratulations to the Bombers as they steam rolled over everyone in the Playoffs (Postseason if you’re Joe Buck). The parade down the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan is scheduled for Friday morning at 11:00 AM.
