The Philadelphia Phillies’ quest to repeat as World Series champions has come to an end.

Thanks to six RBIs for Hideki Matsui the New York Yankees finished off the Phillies in Game Six, winning 7-3, to claim their 27th World Series.

It was a frustrating day all the way around for Phillies fans. Pedro Martinez never gave the team a chance, allowing four runs in four innings. Chad Durbin came in and made things worse. The offense had its moments, but never brought the tying run to the plate in the late innings.

This series and this season will be broken down over the next couple of weeks as fans try to swallow the concept of New York taking their title.

The Phillies certainly have nothing to hang their heads about. They were best team in the National League and second-best team in baseball.  However, a year after winning the World Series, that just wasn’t enough.

In a few weeks, maybe we can look back with fond memories of this season.

But not now.

The Evil Empire has struck again.

    The Evil Empire as you call them. Was the better team and at least for game six out managed.

    The Yankees were the better team, although I can’t say Girardi outmanaged Manuel. The Yankees spent their free agent dollars very wisely and got good players that really fit their chemistry well.

Got something to say?
