Philadelphia Phillies Win World Series

October 30, 2008 - No Comments In a game that began more than 50 hours before its completion, the Philadelphia Phillies finally closed out the Tampa Bay Rays in game five of the World Series, 4-3.

MY Mets Win 10th Straight

July 18, 2008 - No Comments No that headline is not a typo, I did NOT mean to say NY Mets–they are MY METS! After a dismal start to the season that saw a team expected to be among the elite in the National League stumble out of the gate, the New York Mets have won 10 in a row under new manager Jerry Manuel.  After a poor start to the season that saw the team a full 6 1/2 games out of first place behind the Phillies and Marlins, the Mets made a bold move, firing manager....
