For the New York Yankees. As soon as the Dodgers got eliminated from the playoffs, the only team that could match up with the Yankees was out. So they did what they should have done: walk through the playoffs with little resistance. Realistically, this was more like an All-Star team than an actual team: most of the guys on the team are in the top 3-5 at their position in the game today. So congrats on number 27. I'm especially glad it came with Joe Girardi as coach: that guy is a class act. Too bad he coaches for the Yanks...
I'm surprised Obama hasn't taken shots at the Yankees for their huge compensatory practices in this down economy: must be because baseball has a players' union so it's OK to make that much. It's not evil capitalism at work, it's very-not-evil unionization. Too bad, in the end, after all the flowery speeches and promises, he's just another uber-"progressive" politician like the rest of them. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Yanks showed real class in not winning the title in Philadelphia, but instead waiting until going home to do it. Has the National League won 27 World Series yet?
