Yanks Advance To World Series

When they were new stars at an old park, the baseball season rarely ended until they were done playing. Now the Yankees' core is older, the park is new and the World Series is no longer a birthright. But the stage is theirs again.

After a six-year absence, Derek Jeter and the Yankees are back in the World Series, vanquishing the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, 5-2, to win the American League Championship Series, four games to two.

It is the 40th pennant for the Yankees, who will host the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 of the World Series in the Bronx on Wednesday. Mariano Rivera was on the mound when the Yankees clinched, striking out Gary Matthews Jr. for the final out."

The Phillies and the Yanks are going to blow out the score board. I will take the Yanks in 6.

I fuckin hate the Yankees for taking out my Angels. Phillies in 3! Yeah, they're skilled enough to do it in 3.

Phillies go down in 3 swings of A Rods bat maybe.

Phillies win when A Rod's 3 swings produce 3 misses to end the games In fact, one of those swings will be so bad that it'll lose them 2 games. Thus the Phillies in 3.

If the Phillies win in three I will eat my hat. I'm going for the Phillies in this World Series. Just cause I'm a Mets fan and don't like the Yankees. I got family that lives near Philly plus Will Smith was from there, so why the hell not?

Bold statement. But I agree.

Put your points were your mouth is, lets bet on all 6 games, since the Yankees will take it in 6.

^^That would mean I'd have to check for updated odds every day hours after the game ends, which is when I sometimes end up sleeping. By the time I get on it's already 1 hour until game time and the chances of people betting within a 1 hour time frame is too minimal for me to use so much time on it. Thanks for reminding me to put up the overall WS odds though
