Not a single game was decided by less than two runs, but it was still an exciting World Series. On Godzilla's back, the Yankees defeated the Phillies 7-3 last night to earn the 27th World Series title in franchise history. Philadelphia fell short of back-to-back championships, but credit the New York Yankees for a team effort resulting in a Game 6 victory and a scheduled parade on Friday.
The Commish provides his customary post-World Series view in the latest Hot Corner.

So far my prediction of a split in New York and the Yankees taking two of three in Philly has come true. For baseball's sake, I hope I'm wrong about picking New York in six because a Game 7 with so many unknowns (such as Philly's starting pitcher) would be great to see. It's just a hunch, but I really worry about the 1st inning with Pedro tonight. If he can somehow get through that initial inning unscathed, I think the Phillies have a good chance of wearing down Pettitte and the bullpen so that Rivera doesn't become a factor.

Tonight Cliff Lee tries to prevent another lopsided World Series finish. While the task at hand is tough, it's not completely impossible. Lee, dominant in his last outing, is favored tonight. If the Phillies win, the series would be moving along according to my prediction (although many of the details changed). I expected a NY split, then I thought the Yankees would take 2 of 3 in Philly. With an expected win tonight, Philadelphia only needs to scare up some magic for two days. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? Hardly.
Breaking it down, the Phillies would need to jump on Burnett early in Game 6, and a victory would suddenly put all the pressure on the Yankees and Sabathia, who would be starting Game 7 on 3 days rest again. Philly showed they could score off CC last night, but a left handed hitter other than Utley will need to step in to produce the kind of sustained rally they would need to win a Game 7 on the road. That's still about a half-dozen "ifs" away, so for now, buckle down and enjoy tonight's game. Hopefully it won't be the last.
