but now ESPN needs to lay down in the bed they have made, NYY - Team of the Decade.

Has to be the Yankees with the WS win.

Well, maybe I am nuts but heck with the team of the decade.
With 27 championships and an unbelievable 40 appearances in a World Series, they Yankees are not only the team of the decade, they are the team of LIFETIME!!!

Most hate them for that simple reason, they win.
Many hate them because their owners will spend any money it takes to win.
Regardless, they have proven over and over they are winners.
I am just glad I have been a fan of a team for nearly 40 years that allowed me to see tough times and then see them turn around over and over and over again.

Tomorrow would have been painful to watch with Damon also now out.
The Phillies never gave up and just kept coming at them.

Great series....The Yankees were the best team in baseball this year, and they deservedly won the WS.... no shame in losing to that team.....Congrats NYY!...



Looking forward to next year's REMATCH!

Yes indeed.
I believe that photo is Matsui's cap as he "blazed" by the bases. OK, maybe with his bad knees, as he "burned" pitchers is a better thing to say.

It was truly a great series. Neither team ever quit. As I had said earlier, on paper, no doubt the Yankees were the better team. As others said, that doesn't always mean they will win. The Phillies were a worthy opponent to be in that series with the Yankees. They did what every team would like to do that wins a World Series, they were back to defend their title come what may.
In this case, it worked out for the Yankees. I really thought this would drag out to a painful 7 games.
