Okay, as a Mets fan I really do not like the Phillies...or the Braves...or the Cubs...or, well, just about any other National League team. And I really, really HATE the Yankees.
But, when the World Serious rolls around, I will cheer on the National League team every time. See the NL plays baseball the way it is supposed to be played. Nine guys to a side not ten. Managerial decisions mean something. Strategy on the base paths, pinch hitting, pitcher changes...all important to the game and they certainly mean that you need the better TEAM to win consistently.
That said, and as a fan of the National League, I would like to say congratulations to the Philadelphia Phillies for their victory in the 2008 World Series.
Now, if we could only get MLB to rethink this bull shit of playing into the end of October when there are snow storms in the air. How about playing some more double headers during the regular season if you insist on keeping 162 games? Or, at least go back to playing the World Series during the day when the sun is shining and the temperatures just might get above 50 effing degrees.
