Yankees win 2009 World Series

The Yankees beat the Phillies 7 to 3 tonight, to win the 2009 World Series.
The star of the game was Hideki Matsui, who had 3 hits with 6 runs batted in. Matsui fell just a triple short of a cycle. Andy Pettitte was solid, but not spectacular on three days rest. Pettitte pitched into the 6th inning, but did not finish it. Pettitte finished the night giving up three runs, he walked five batters and struck out three. Joba Chamberlain and Damaso Marte pitched well in relief, getting the ball to Mariano Rivera. The games all-time best closer didn't disappoint, going one and two thirds innings without surrendering a run.

Being a Met fan, I thought I would be disgusted over this. Strangely, I'm okay with it though. Hats off to the Yankees. They came into the season knowing that nothing other than a championship would suffice, and they accomplished their goal. A lot of teams would have buckled under that kind of pressure, but they didn't. No matter who you root for, you have to respect that. You also have to respect an owner that pours all his profits back into his organization. Many will say they "bought" this World Series, and maybe they're right, but secretly we all wish our favorite team would "buy" a championship.
Congratulations to the New York Yankees and all their loyal fans.
