Well it's that time again. The world series is scheduled to start October 28th, although this might change. For those of you who don't know (Non Americans) the
world series is the championship series between the two best teams this year from the American League and the National league, the two leagues comprising Major League Baseball, or MLB, the highest proffesional baseball league in the country. This year the team from the National League is the
Philadelphia Phillies, the defending champions from last year, and the
New York Yankees, baseballs so called "evil-empire," because of their wealth and ability to buy the best talent.
Now I know that to people outside of America they may not care at all, but in America it is important to many people, so I wanted to post this thread to allow people to discuss the world series as it happens.
So tell me... who are you rooting for, who do you think will win, or who do you not want to win, whatever. Personally I want the Yankees to win, I'm not from New York but I've been there plenty of times and seen a game there and I like the Yankees. The Phillies won last year and I don't think they are good enough to deserve a second world series title in a row. I think the Yankees have a good shot at winning, historiclly they lead MLB in World Series wins, and have many good players including a certain
Mariano Rivera who is quite possibly the best post season player ever.
If anyone wants to "bet" me their on, I hope this will be an exciting series, and it should be fun to watch.
