Start overturning cars in the Bronx, the New York Yankees have won the 2009 Major League Baseball World Series 4-2 over the Philadelphia Phillies last night in the Bronx.
Number 27 took what must have felt like decades in New York minutes. Hideki Matsui provided all of the offense needed by the Bronx Bombers driving in six runs tying a World Series record and received the World Series MVP Award. Andy Pettite threw 5.2 innings giving up three earned runs, but it is the Yankees bullpen that deserves all of the credit for winning this game. Joba Chamberlain and Damaso Marte stepped up and got some incredibly clutch outs.
For the Philadelphia Phillies, there is not much of which to be ashamed. For a team with relatively little history of success, to make two consecutive World Series is a major accomplishment for the Phightin' Phils. They just did not have the starting pitching necessary to beat the Yankees over a seven game series.
Personally if a team were to have a 200 million dollar payroll it had damn well better win a World Series every year. So while it is an accomplishment to win it, it is not much of a shock.
As Alex Rodriguez said, "We're gonna party!" Enjoy Kate A-Rod, you're a lucky man. Good luck finding that soul of yours you lost when you left Seattle.
