The Yankees won the 2009 World Series Tuesday, beating the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6 of the World Series. It's the Yanks' first title in nine years, and the first ever in the sixth year of the Jeter/A-Rod combination.
They earned the title with one of their more complete teams of recent years- but make no mistake, I hate the Yankees more than ever, especially since they went through both the Yankees and Twins this offseason. Oh, and they won one more for George Steinbrenner! That would be a totally heartwarming story, except, you know, the exact opposite.
In all, a valiant effort by the Phillies- winning the World Series one year and then losing the next year's in six games is certainly nothing to sneeze at. The team has their entire core returning intact, with some intriguing prospects set to join them and an organization that's been doing everything right for a long time, and they're certain to be in contention for years to come.
Hey, it's November! Pitchers and catchers in just four months, and opening day in just six!

Posted by: LilB at November 5, 2009 04:46 PMOpening day in 5 months, not 6.... Uggh, still feels like a long time. But pitchers and catchers report in just under 4 months!
Winter meetings only a month away.
I think non-tenders 1 week away? Should be an exciting off-season as EVERYONE is overpaid and I expect a number of non-tenders rather than arbitration offers.
