Phillies fans, just wanted to say you guys have a great team. Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard and Werth gave me ulcers all 6 games. It would not been as competitive or as much fun against an opponent other than you. I don’t think the Dodgers or Rockies could have made the series as close as it was. Feliz is sick with the glove. That one haned catch last night!??! WOW!!!

And holy shit!!! Cliff Lee is the man. A little cocky with the yawning popup catch in Game one, but man can he pitch.

Hope to see you guys again in the 2010 World Series!! Good game!!

Sincerely,
Hoyl GhostClaw
Yanks Fan Since 1986

PS – Crush the Mets again next year.

one more word on ‘pace’:

just wait until they start reviewing every play with instant replay like they do in football…

get ready for 9 hour games!

Thank God for the Yankees. These Phillies and their fans needed to be knocked down a peg. The Yankees handled them with an ease that would make any ego shrink a bit and for that I am grateful.

Dave S,

no, i dont like the way that sounds at all –
‘crack’ is much better than ‘ping’

and i know the pros are much better players, but the pace of MLB just kills me

sometimes when it gets sooo sloooow, it hurts almost as much as watching soccer

like in late innings when they only let pitchers pitch to 1 freakin batter

Come down to Philly and talk like that, bronx123, Mr. Internet Tough guy. I’ll send you crying home to your mommy.

The Yankees buy championships, and A-Rod and Pettite are known steroid cheats.

But anything it takes to win in the Big Apple, right? Just like the Wall Street greasebags who took the entire country for a ride, Steinbrenners spending ways are ruining baseball. There’s a reason football is the dominant American sport, and that’s parity.

But let’s not talk about football, right? Because your Giants just got their asses handed to them by Philly, and they can’t go out and buy Tom Brady, Reggie Wayne, and all the best players because of the salary cap.

What’s really sad is that you overspend by a HUGE margin every single year, and it took you 10 to win another WS. Dumb guido prick.

i play in a over 35 league and i can hit better than the phillies

it hurts me to watch on my new hi-def tv – all those strikes right down the middle that the philly hitters just stare at

then with 2 strikes, they have to swing at moving fastballs an inch off the corner

im glad its over – hurts to much to watch weak baseball

i want to see agressive hitting, fielding and baserunning – but that all stopped after the 70s – now its all about playing pussie baseball:

try to get a walk, dont steal if it shows somebody up, dont risk looking bad by trying to catch a fly ball at the fence, dont take an extra base – just wait for home run

what they do now, you may as well just call it softball

blogger poll: does anyone else think mccarver sucks as an announcer?

another problem with MLB: why do they play so ssssllllllllooooowwwww?

college world series is better to watch than these MLB marathons

one improvement over last time yankees in WS:
they dont let that ronin tiron: irish tenor guy sing anymore
i hate him too – he tries to stay on tv as long as he can and delay the game

note to papplalbon: rivera is still better than you

i am a longtime suffering cleveland indians fan – so i suffered longer and harder than all you philly fans put together! (grew up there)

more on games… philly outfielders should have made a lot of catches on catchable balls today – you keep running until the ball hits the ground, you dont give up – that is how you give up runs

more on fans… i hate every yankee fan that is not from new york and i still hate the rest based on principal

biggest bandwagon fans: yankees, cowboys, steelers, lakers
dumbest fans: raider fans
drunkest fans: cowboy fans
biggest gansta wannabes: laker fans

more on howard: just because a guy hits a lot of homers per season doesnt mean he can hit in the clutch to drive baserunners home

more on rollins: just because a guy is really good baserunner is not a good enough reason to be a leadoff hitter

more on yankees: they add sabathia, texera, and that other pitcher,
they bought a-rod and swisher,
jeter is their only legit player

any team with a money tree could have bought those guys and won a WS

they buy giambi and when he doesnt work out, they kick him to the curb and buy texirea

more on game: after last pitch, the yankee players did not seem to have real joy, just glad they didn’t mess up

fact: MLB was better in the 1970s

teams like cinci, oakland, kansas city, pittsburg could keep teams together and play kick ass baseball

free agency has ruined the game

Guys, I’d like to congratulate you on a good series, both teams fought hard and Cliff Lee is a tank by the way. Of course im thrilled the Yanks won (i was at the game) but i do truthfully respect the Phillies, you are not a fluke.

Sincerely a New York Teen who has to go to school tomorrow

Bronx123 – You were probably born and raised anywhere but New York….You win a WS and your on the the blog of your opponent to talk trash. Why aren’t you celebrating with friends, family and fellow fans? You live in the city that doesn’t sleep after winning the WS and your on a blog. Sorry but your not a real New Yorker unless your 12 years old and are stuck at home.

The one thing I do no understand is people saying the Phillies are a fluke. In three years, they have 3 division titles, 2 pennants, and 1 World Series. They are going to be good for years to come and I can’t wait to watch more great Phillies baseball.

HotDogs- no we take turns monitoring them and find a way to block them . The Good Phight on SB Nation does it. If an opposing fan wants to be civil and talk baseball fine.

well, maybe if philly was as big a city as NY, then our teams could afford bigger salaries.

Wait til the NFL loses its salary cap (if it happens)…the NFC and AFC east teams (-buffalo) will basically own half the good players…

@Mike D…….you are right. Just used to Charlie and his classy remarks. Guess I am spoiled.

Regarding the trolls….idea for next year IGNORE! Nothing gets at those seeking attention more than not recieving that attention. Just an idea.

As Bring it On once taught us,

“Second place? Hell yea!”

Nothing to be ashamed of. People who don’t understand sportmanship will not understand that. But it was a great year. They only needed to win two more games. And it proves that last year was not a fluke. This team really is something special.

They didn’t look too excited about I noticerd that myself I guess that’s because half the guys there don’t really wanna be there and are only there because of contracts they give to them.

Well I’m sure that stung RAJ a little for not getting a middle reliever or two and a not addressing the bench issue.
