Klyd, I honestly don't think there is one thing there that I can disagree with.

hey klyd did you order the phillies back to back world series champions shirt from macy's yet?

Klyd,

You should replace Joe Vuck and Tim McCabre. You make much more $cent$.

I have some name changes for the Phillys (that's a female horse). Chase Ugly, Tryin' Howhard, Shane Beefarino (remember the Seinfeld episode), Jason Worthless and of course Hole Camel.

Yankees in 6 like you predicted....didn't you? BTW, I'll be in the Valley this weekend enjoying some Sabbatini's.

Freaking Buck last night, crying over Victorino's hand. Where was he when ARod got hit THREE times?

MaryCas, I'm probably missing something here, but why do you say "Joe Vuck"? I don't understand the 'V'.

McCarver is the guy I can't stand. I've never seen a guy mispronounce so many names and say some many dumb meaningless things. Joe Morgan is pretty bad too, but at least he has a likeable quality to him.

Joe Buck doesn't bother me. He isn't great, but I think he does his job as a mediocre national broadcaster. It's too bad Jon Miller is on radio instead of TV over Buck. He's one of the best.

Joe *uck is the worst. I wish I could just listen to NY AM radio, but it doesn't line up right.

There needs to be a Tivo for radio so you can pause it for 3 seconds and then hit play so it lines up with the TV broadcast.

Enjoy the Sabbatini's. I haven't hasd it in years, but I'm planning on some Revello's pizza the night before Thanksgiving. I didn't predict Yankees in 6. I took the Phillies in 5, but will gladly settle for 7.

Great minds must think alike. The name beeffareeno frequently pops into my head when I see Victorino. Two years agoI was with you on Jayson Wert-less, and was even stupid enough to think Geoff Jenkins should have been playing in front of him.

Does anyone else, by the way, think of a young Jonathan Winters when they see Joba Chamberlain?

McCarver did make a goof about speculating if the Yankees would bring in Chamberlain in the ninth of Game 4 after a pinch hitter had already hit for him?

So, what pork product are you preparing for this evening, Klyd???

I think there's a little bit of pork roast left in the fridge. But my wife has a chicken marinating with potatoes and carrots. She has beaten me to the punch. I'll have to sneak a little bit of bacon inside the chicken (God, that sounds dirty ), or else Pedro is dommed tonight.

Oh, Pedro's screwed for sure, and it will be ALL YOUR FAULT!!

How is your marriage holding up Kly?

Detente.

We're okay although we don't discuss the series too much with each other. We had a house full of friends Sunday night, both old and young, and they were all pretty much Yankee or Phillie fans (there was a Cub fan rooting for the Yanks and a Red Sox fan pulling for the Phils). That was the only game we watched together for the first several innings. Our basement has pictures, wall hangings and other decor of the Phillies and Yankees, as well as the Steelers and Notre Dame.

My wife often falls asleep before the games end. During tense moments late in the game she always changes the channel, so she prefers to watch by herself. My kids like both teams, but my oldest and youngest are pulling for NY and my middle boy, who's turning into a sports encyclopedia is not as rabid. In fact, he told me earlier this year that if he could start over as a fan, he'd like to be a Reds fan. Go figure.

the most remarkable thing about this World Series for me is how much gel hair Chase Utley is using. I don't know what's the deal with him.

other than that I've been either sleeping or out most of the series. there were many many games on friday and saturday nights this postseason and I can't count how many games I fell asleep during the 7th inning. I just hope I'm able to stay awake until the end of this one (game 6). LET'S GO PEDRO!

the gel gives him super powers

Congratulations Yankee fans! Even though I give you guys a tough time, you are friends of mine so I'm happy for you

Klydon, you mentioned Notre Dame stuff hanging in your basement, did you go there?

The Yankees are the 2009 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS and all is right in the world again! Kiss my @$$ Red Sox Nation!! Re-reverse the Curse!!!

To the Yankees fans.... congratulations.

It's about time the team with the biggest payroll in pro-ball won.

I remember when $100 million was ridiculous years ago, and the Red Sox exceeded that this year by almost $20m. Regardless of the Yankees almost $200m payroll, it's not just money -- it's also performance. Hot shot expensive players can and often do choke, and $250k rookies can win championships. So stop it.

Geoff - THIS is your argument???

Fuck you with the "stop it". The Yankees have outspent their opponents by MANY MANY millions.... and continue to do so. How they ever ran a stretch of almost ten years without winning the big title is beyond me (other than to suggest they that suck).

Your Yankees are plain and simple NOT a fun team to root for.

And why is it that that someone who does (root for them) ALWAYS throws up the 27 WS wins? That happened YEARS ago.... is that the reason you cheer for them? Because they won so many championships over the years?

Yes, that was my argument. And still is.

How much did you pay for Dice-K again? How'd that work out?

TALENT is worth more than MONEY! How's that hard to grasp??

And as for the "27" -- it's the most in any and every sport. It's something to be proud of. If the Sox had just won #27, I'm sure it'd be mentioned ad nauseum as well

Without the last passive-aggressive sentence, I'd've simply said thanks! But you started it...

You can sit there all night and make lists of one or two or three players that each team has that don't live up to their salary but we're talking team salaries, not individual exceptions.

And I do NOT want to see my Red Sox get caught up in this price-war (despite the fact that they have a large payroll).

Actually, if the Sox had won that many championships I don't think I'd be rooting for them. Two big Sox wins this decade has me already "getting tired of my team.

I'm guessing the Sox payroll will increase next year. And so will the Yanks', probably.

Don't confuse me with I12... I don't gloat or dismiss. If I have, show me and I'll apologize.

On the night of my team's winning for the first time in a decade, I can be proud of them and show it. And I'm accepting of the jealous reactions.

That's pretty incredibly sad. Why aren't you an Expos fan then?? If you don't even know WHY you root for your own team, how can you be so devoted??

Geoff, dunno exactly WHEN you became such a pain.... you know WHY I root for my own team. You SHOULD know why I root for my own team and you SHOULD know why I feel that baseball is no longer a game I love as I did. But, then again, maybe you don't. Maybe you don't spend any quality time here on your own boards anymore. Maybe you're too busy with other things in your life.
