Yahoooo! After a number of years of sitting at home and completely disinterested in the World Series, except when praying that the Red Sox would be defeated....my beloved Yanks are back in the fall classic! They will face a strong Phillie team, reigning world champs in what will be dubbed the "I-95 Series." Crazy right, in an age when jetting around the world is in fashion, these two teams will board buses each day to travel to their opposing teams' stadiums. Not being bias - huh? - I say the Yanks in 6 games. They should win game one with CC on the mound and rested. Game 2 will be a blood bath with Pedro returning to the stadium and wild man Burnett pitching for the yanks. Expect someone getting beaned! But Yanks will prevail in extra innings. Phils will come back and win game three at home - that will bring CC back for game four- lights out. Phils will win in desperation at game five. But it will be so close that no one will feel confident. That has the Yanks up 3-2 headed back to the Bronx. Pettite then pitches a classic "Andy Dandy" and the Yankees claim #27 for George!
MVP of the series will be Texieria who will break out in the series. He has been incredible with his glove and silent with the bat so far, but the Series will do something to him!!! A-Rod and Jeter will be solid. On the Phils side, Ryan Howard will struggle and might be the main reason the Phils can't get it done. Also their pitching will struggle. All in all, it will be a great classic match up. Below is the reason why the Yankees are America's most dominating sports franchise!!!
Yankees’ 40
The Yankees will make their 40th appearance in the World Series, sporting a 26-13 record.
