If it does end up being the Yankees & Phillies there are a couple things I like about it.

1. The Yankees will be taking on the defending champions. It is always a little nicer to beat the champs.
2. No long airplane flights to deal with.
3. The games will all have the same start time.
4. The Yankees winning in 6 games.

3 outs away....

make that 2

bvilchez · 10-21-2009, 09:48 PM

Heaven forbid the Yankees lose tomorrow that just gives the Phillies more rest time.....

The Angels are a very, very good team.
I won't whistle Dixie yet until the game is over and won by the Yankees.

I made that mistake back in 2004. Will never do it again.

I just hope the Yanks can get it done in 5 or 6 - I want C.C. available for a possible 3 starts.

The Cardinals plan to announce that they resigned Tony La Russa and that they will have Mark McGwire as their hitting coach for 2010.

I thought McGwire was just hired to replace Hal MaCrae as the hitting instructor for the Royals??

Nope he is a Cardinal. He would only be with La Russa.

I must have been listening to something else...thanks for setting me straight Ryan!!

The Poet · 10-26-2009, 04:49 PM

McGuire as a hitting instructor? Would he bring his own steroids, or will his students need supply their own?

I think Hal is the one who broke the news story on his Twitter page though.

The Astros hired Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills to be their new manager.

MedicCook · 11-06-2009, 10:27 AM

Only a short time left for this thread before we move onto 2010. Here are some post WS news.

Bobby Abreu gets a raise from the Angels. 2 years $19M.

The Red Sox traded for outfielder Jeremy Hermida from the Marlins for left-handed pitchers Hunter Jones and Jose Alvarez.

Jermaine Dye informed the White Sox he was going enact his 2010 option for $12M, the White Sox promptly declined the option and gave him the $950,000 buyout.

The Diamondback picked up the 2010 option for Brandon Webb.

J.J. Hardy has been traded from the Milwaukee Brewers to the Minnesota Twins in exchange for Carlos Gomez.

MedicCook · 11-06-2009, 11:07 PM

Manny made a very smart financial move today when he exercised his $20M option for 2010 with the Dodgers. Hopefully for Joe Torre the pre-roid suspension Manny shows up next year and not the post-suspension Manny.

No surprise here with the Phillies picking up Cliff Lee's option for 2010 at a rather cheap $9M.
