Yankees Win Their 27th Title With Matsui’s 6 RBIs!

Last night the New York Yankees won their 27th World Series Title in style, by shutting down a dangerous and resilient Philadelphia Phillies team. The only way I can describe this series is by quoting Apollo Creed, “You fight great…but I’m a great fighter.” Both teams were talented enough to be crowned Champions, but the Yankees just had that extra edge.

This title was definitely a team effort, much like the ones in the 90’s. On any given night a different Yankee would come through and deliver in the clutch. Last night that person was Hideki Matsui, who drove in a record tying 6 runs in clinching game six. Matsui was awarded the MVP of the series going 8-12 and hitting 3 home runs…Godzilla delivered!

This team worked hard all year and deserved to win the title, but I’ve got to admit the team is full of jokers. Alex Rodriguez sounded like a 16 year old on stage holding up the trophy when he shouted, “We’re gonna paaaarrrrttttty!”. What a mess. Guys like Nick Swisher, Derek Jeter, and Mark Teixeira were bouncing around Yankee stadium like children wearing ski goggles to keep champagne out of their eyes. Well I guess they did just win the World Series sooo….I guess we’ll let it slide this time.

As a Yankee fan I’m over the moon that the Yankees finally got back on top. By Yankee standards it’s been a long time since the city of New York has been able to celebrate a title. The parade through Manhattan is set for Friday and no doubt New Yorkers will be celebrating through the weekend.

Let’s just hope that they don’t celebrate like the Phillie fans did when they realized they were going to the World Series. I wonder what Susan Finkelstein is going to celebrate the victory?
