Yankees_v_mets_4d72
We're now on our second day post-World Series, and I can't fight off this nagging feeling that the championship series I just watched was, well, pretty damn boring. Yes, it was a World Series, and with the Phillies' long record of futility, there's really no ground...

One thing is for certain: This is the last baseball game in Philadelphia this year. The Phillies, down 3 games to 1, look to stay alive in the 2009 World Series behind their ace Cliff Lee, who has been virtually unhittable the entire postseason.  He'll be opposed by A...
