Lee vs. Sabathia. Two old friends who came up with Cleveland meet tonight in New York in the World Series. The weather is wet and raw but let's hope that the rain stops well before game time. Only four National League teams in the history of the World Series have won consecutive championships: 1908 and '09 Cubs, '21 and '22 Giants, and the '75 and '76 Reds.
Not surprisingly, the media hype is pretty much all pro-Yankees. That's OK with me. These are two pretty evenly-matched teams. In the end, the one that plays better will win. Gotta love the Phillies, though. As their manager often says, they love to play baseball. They love to play baseball together. And they love the bright lights. Go, Phillies!
