It's Simple As That....

Well it's here people, the MLB World Series 2009. Why they still call it he World Series when it's only played with American (and sometimes Canadian) teams, I don't know, that's America for you.  Anyway this years edition features the city of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia Philles and the team that you either love to death or just just death upon them, the New York Yankees.
          
    As a friend of mines pointed out (http://bmillz365.wordpress.com/) these are two of the best, if not the best, teams in baseball. Rightfully so, both have outstanding offenses, good pitching and defenses and know what it takes to win. The Yankees led the league in come from behind wins and A-Rod is puttinng on his best Mr. October impression. The Philles just have been whooping the pie filling out of everybody. People say it's going to be a good World Series with two high level teams and it's hard to pick a winner. Well it's not. The Philles are going to win and the Yankees suck. As Kid Cudi would say.."It's simple as that, it's simple as that for your simple ass" And here's my reasons:

Phillies have a better offense with is still surprisingly underrated. 1-6 the Phillies are better than the Yankees. J-Roll, Utley, Howard, The Hawaiian, Werth and Ibanez > Jeter, Damon, Teixeria, A-Rod, Matsui, Posada

Phillies O> Yankees O

Now the Yankkes have the better starting pitching. CC, AJ, AP> Lee, Pedro, Hamels.  Game 1 will be a good matchup. The last two Cy young winners and former teammates going head to head so the offenses will have to step it up. Phillies win. Then Pedro and AJ. I'm still not sold on Pedro even after the LA performance.  He hasn't faced a offense like the Yankees this season. Yankees win game two. Then you have Cole and Andy. Sounds like a sitcom. Hamels is not the Hamels of last year (I didn't like him last year either but he wa  better) and Pettitte  knows how to win. Now this is where things get interesting. The Bullpen.

The Phillies still have the better bullpen even with Lidge due to the fact the Phills have the better defense behind their pitchers.  And Lidge is looking more like the Lidge of last year this postseason so far. Yes the Yanks have the best closer in history but they don't truth their two young stunnas in Joba and Phil Hughes. In my book that's a problem.

So With the better offense and defense the Phillies win another World Series over the Yankees superior pitching. It's simple as that for your simple ass.
