Yankees Back on Top

Sports Report

The Yankees are victorious once again. It almost feels like baseball is back to its roots. The ole’ king pin (Steinbrenner) said it himself that the universe is back on track now that the Yankees are back on top. The Phillies played tough but I dont think they could match up with the depth of the Yankees. Both lineups were stacked one through six with equal amount of talent but different styles respectably. I am not a die-hard Yankee like my dad haha… but I am a fan of the game and cant hate on the winningest team in American sports.

Many will say that the Yankees bought the World Series, but if that’s the case then why weren’t the Mets, Tigers, or Astros (all respectively over 100-thousand dollar payroll) in the playoffs? For any of you that have played team sports and or have been fortunate to have won a championship would know that no matter how good your team is, anything can happen good or bad and you still have to produce with some luck involved. I must say though, that it was quite interesting how the Yankees lost game 5 in order to see have the clinching game 6 at home in front of Yankee nation. And how ironic is it that Andy Petitte started the game with Posada behind the dish, Jeter at short, and Rivera closing the door. Not to mention Joe Girardi commanding the crew for his first time. That is the same four players that have been the core of their championship run in the 1990’s and 2000 at the “Old Yankee Stadium”. Maybe Steinbrenner wanted to show the Yankee faithful and the baseball nation that it’s a new stadium with the same standards and that’s Championship or bust.

Happy end of Baseball Season to all!! : ( A hundred or so day and it starts again : )
