G'day Everyone!
A hearty congratulations to the NY Yankees that WON the world series last night by a score of 7-3 over Philadelphia Phillies. It was said that Yankees proved critics wrong about them. Unfortunately, it just opened up a NEW FIRESTORM upon them. Just how many World Series wins is TOO MANY? For Major League Baseball (MLB), they come under a new complaint for allowing this World Series to happen. For that short time, there was a shot that Phillies would win back-to-back World Series win. It just didn't happen.
As people wake up from last night's party and see all the damages, reality sets in. Most will be saying "It shouldn't be happening like this". Perhaps MLB needs to sit down and discuss the future of the changes of baseball play-off rules. A power house team like Yankees has won too many World Series titles. Many other teams are so angry now, that something has to be done before someone gets hurt out there. Maybe this winter, MLB will draft a special clause in baseball rules that if Yankees were to win again of another play-off spot, it should go to their rival team that they played. Perhaps, Yankees need to be gutted of all their best players and put in weak players for 10 years so that other teams have a chance to win for the world series. Last year's World Series was BETTER than this year.
Just the same, the Philadelphia Phillies are under a firestorm too. Who's the prime center of it all? Pedro "Daddy" Martinez. Last night, Pedro Martinez looked like he wasn't even trying to strike out the Yankees. Some of his pitches look so easy to hit, it makes you wonder just what Pedro was doing. Perhaps, the Phillies should have started him last Monday night instead of Cliff Lee and Cliff Lee would have been masterful against Yankees last night. Sadly to say, the Phillies should look at Pedro Martinez's actions extra carefully. The best suggestion would be to release him with a HIGH PRICE TAG. If the Yankees want him that badly, they'll take him. But, if Pedro's throwing to Yankees were a "gift" and they don't take him, he'll be wishing at his mother's home that he had struck out more Yankees. I hope the Phillies do release Pedro Martinez. It would be in their BEST INTEREST.
As all the baseball teams go into off season winter mode, Basketball and Hockey are just starting. In Football: NFL teams are gearing up to finish the season into the play-offs soon. Colleges are getting set for the final games that will possible lead to bowl games or sitting by the tube for the season. But of course, some day there will be college football play off games some day.
So party on, Yankees. But just remember, it could be your LAST party for many years to come again. Hopefully, fate will not lead you to another world series (and hopefully it will prevent you for 10 years), but other teams do deserve a chance to experience world series too. God forbid if you Yankees go for a back-to-back title.

Uh, 27 titles might be too much for
the Yankees but MLB are not going
to ban the Yankees another shot
down the road to the World Series
even if they don't do it again for
2,3,5,10 years or next year. It
takes a team to win a playoff spot,
win the post season games and go to
the World Series for any team to be
in the World Series. The Yankees did all that fair and square to get to the World Series and won the World Series. One mystery team that surprises me this year, the Boston Red Sox. They beat the Yankees in the first 8 games this year and lost the last 8 games straight to the Yankees. I really think the Boston Red Sox should have been in the World Series but they blew it like the New York Mets did last year. So Congrats to the Yankees and as the saying goes, there is always next year for a better chance for all the baseball teams including the Phillies.
Jim.. I respectfully disagree with you. So do thousands of anti-yankee people too. Next year, if the yankees get booted out of the playoffs, I'll cheer the loudest. Last year was the better year!
I don't ever recall a team get
booted from the World Series for
winning 27 World Series Champion.
It takes a best team like Phillies,
Angels, Dodgers, and Yankees who
were well in their division into
the Post Season this year and then
in the end the Phillies and the
Yankees were the two teams in the
World Series. The Yankees won the
World Series fair and square. You
know Pedro should have not pitch
the game last night and blew it.
There will always be someone that
is not happy that the Yankees won
the World Series including you. It
is time to move on to the next
year. Who knows as even through
the Yankees has the highest salary
might not make it next year with
injuries on the team. Last year
the Yankees has the highest Salary
but failed to make it to the World
Series. So money isn't always the
issus. It is the best team that
works together to win the World
Series. I wish all teams luck
next year including the Phillies.
