Damn Yankees!

A great decade has just been ruined by a Yankees World Series victory. Damn.

Chase Utley had a great series. Philadelphia's problem was other than Cliff Lee their starting pitching just couldn't get it done.

For your mental health don't watch ESPN for a couple days.

UPDATE: On reflection I have to congratulate C.C. Sabathia on winning a World Series ring. Wish he had done it in Cleveland, but happy for him either way.

World Series Game One - Also Known as the Cliff Lee Show

The Phillies just finished beating the Yankees in game one of the World Series 6 to 1. Cliff Lee dominated from start to finish. He didn't walk a single batter and only gave up one unearned run in the ninth inning. Lee also made a couple of defensive plays where he seemed much more relaxed than one would expect from a pitcher pitching in his first World Series appearance.

Chase Utley powered the Philadelphia offense with a couple of solo homers.

Sabathia took the loss, but he pitched well except for the two pitches Utley got a hold of for home runs.
