Rollins- lots of hot air

Without the late summer pickups of Lee and Pedro it's hard to imagine the Phillies even getting to the WS. My point being that success in one or two years is not guaranteed going forward. I agree the Phils have a great core but they've got some work to do to stay on top in the NL.

we here in the 23rd fart in your general direction....expect more of the same next year.

Jeter is the man....great series for a change....in fact a great run of post-season games.

Kudos to Tigers, twins, Angels, Dodgers and the Phillies (who I expect will run the table next year by adding another starter and a closer)

I just hope Brian Sabean wasn't watching the series, because if he was the Giants are going to offer Hideki Matsui an 8 year, $140 million contract on the first day of free agency.

LOL!!


I love Hideki but I wouldn't re-sign him unless he comes cheap.


The Mets have always been good at throwing lots of money at DH types to play in the NL.

Knowing Sabean's mode of operation...so true...

Can we get back to asshat please.

I don't see the need to rip on the White Sox and their World Series winning manager



Let's Go Go White Sox in 2010.

By the way, for anyone who's worried about the Yankees fallen apart next year, they do have $40 million (net) coming off the books next year. Damon, Matsui, Pettitte, Nady and Molina are free agents and they have made their last payment to Giambi.

Many owners would use this opportunity to pocket the money, sell out the Stadium, and make a tidy sum.

I bet the Yankees would prefer to win.

The Yankees are good but the pressure they had this year with the new stadium and Aroid makes what they did amazing, especially after the first game. I guess even the ghost of Ruth couldn't stop the American dream of progress,gluttony, and shear destruction. Congratulations to Girardi,Jeter, and all NYC. All the talk in town is Mauer will be in pinstripes.

but the PHILLIES got those players, much like the Yankees did with CC, AJ, and Tex
