For one who truly dislikes the Yankee$, this World Series is a win-win situation. On the one hand, if they manage to win it's a hollow victory, akin to beating the computer in Madden Football 89 to 0 because you put all of the games best players on your team. It loses all sense of fun and becomes a farce. On the other hand, if they lose, the evil empire is defeated. The "underdog" (not that the Phillies are underdogs in any sense) wins. Ironically, the Phillies are a much better-assembled baseball team than the current Yankees. Solid players at almost every position, not too flashy, just gritty players. As a Mets fan I hated them during the regular season. But when I watch them without fan-goggles I realize that they are everything the Mets SHOULD be. They even signed two key players the Mets should have grabbed (Cliff Lee and Raul Ibanez). Mets fans can hate on the Phillies all they want, but there's not one guy on that team I wouldn't want on the Mets. Okay, maybe Victorino because he's a tool. But a scrappy tool.
The Yankees... keep your overpaid prima donnas.
