The 2009 World Series carries two lineups more powerful than a Blake Griffin dunk.
Too soon, Clipper's fans?
Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Howard are the highlights of the dynamic lineups for the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies that are stirring the baseball community into a buzz about the possibility of a high-scoring World Series.
Multiple hitters of an equally dangerous caliber flank each superstar.
Derek Jeter, Mark Tiexiera, and Robinson Cano for the Yankees.
Chase Utley, Raul Ibanez, and Shane Victorino for the Phillies.
There is so much explosive offensive talent firing from each dugout ...
Major Advantage: Everything with the Yankees is like a movie, and this year you have Kate Hudson playing the Susan Sarandon character in Bull Durham. Whoever she “dates” at the time does well including Chris Robinson back in the '90s and now A-Rod in the postseason. He’s hitting .438 with five HR and 12 RBI. She’s like the anti-Kardashian. Can she “date” Obama next?
Major Disadvantage: Jerry Jones once dissed his ex-head coach and best friend Jimmy Johnson after he left the Cowboys with two rings, saying 500 coaches could win a Super Bowl ...
As everyone has made light of, this World Series sucks for a Mets fan.
Mets fans are pretty split on which side they’re rooting for, if you can even call it rooting. Funny thing is, you see plenty of Yankees fans saying that we should be rooting for them, but I don’t hear any Phillies fans making that same argument.
From Mets
Personally, I’m rooting for the Yankees to lose. I don’t get any joy, or any more grief no matter what the Phillies do, but the Yankees winning would really irk ...
Here in Philadelphia, fans are gearing up for the highly anticipated 2009 World Series between the Phillies and Yankees. In the Bronx, the media circus has begun. Over 300 writers attended today’s media day at Yankee Stadium. Among them was the New York Times ’ Yankees writer Tyler Kepner.
Tyler was kind enough to speak with me this morning, about the Yanks, the Phils and how they match-up, in what promises to be an exciting World Series.
SHAY RODDY: You haven’t gotten to see much of the Phillies this year, covering them ...
The New York Yankees are back in the World Series again. With American League pennant No. 40 under their belt, as well as the groanings of Red Sox and Angels fans alike as background noise. The Yankees will play host to the Philadelphia Phillies for Games One and Two in the new Yankee Stadium, trying to win World Championship No. 27.
Numbers are an interesting thing to look at come October. While the number 27, both on the back of manager Joe Girardi’s jersey as well as the hunt to put ...
Nick Swisher is a one man wrecking crew this postseason, but the problem is he is wrecking his own team the New York Yankees.
For the Yankees to win the World Series against the Phillies, Swisher is going to have to step it up or move aside.
Swisher has four hits in 32 at bats with 11 strikeouts and is currently batting only .125 this postseason headed into the World Series against the defending World Champs.
Nick has to understand he has to produce in the postseason to really be a Yankee ...
With the October Classic upon us, its time for SCL’s Fresh Take, a la Baseball! It’s fitting that the New York Yankees with their 26 Championships and the defending World Champion Philadelphia Phillies square off in the World Series; on the flip side, how bad is it to be a Cleveland Indians fan? Past Indian pitchers CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee square off in Game One of the Series, while Indians fans get to wonder what if. Not to mention, if you add in the Championship rounds with Jim Thome, ...
Those living in New York City, Jay-Z fans, or just music lovers in general will no doubt be familiar with my title, kind of.
If you're not, and you're about to take in what's sure to be a fantastic 2009 World Series between the New York Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies , then you soon will be.
The line is taken, and slightly altered, from Jay-Z's hit song 'Empire State of Mind', which is all set to be the Yankees' 2009 anthem.
The original line is "I made the Yankee hat more famous ...
The New York Yankees are back in the World Series for the first time in six years. For those not familiar with the American League champions, River & Sunset has provided a brief rundown of each player.
Aceves, Alfredo: Earned "Seventh-Inning Guy" designation over the course of excellent regular season in which he went 10-1. Was unceremoniously dumped from team's plans in postseason based solely on the idea that Joba Chamberlain used to be good.
Burnett, A.J.: Highest-paid pie thrower in recorded history. Entire fanbase, and Burnett himself, is fully aware of unmerciful ...
