World Series

The most exciting time in baseball has finally arrived. After postseason series, it has finally come to the World Series. This year, it is between the Yankees and the Phillies. So far, the series is tied with Philadelphia winning the first game, 6-1, and the Yankees taking last night's game, 3-1.

There is some conflict left over from last night's game, as Phillies Manager, Charlie Manuel, is unhappy with a specific call. He says that Chase Utley was safe at first, but he was called out. This was a double play, and ended the inning for the Phillies. Manuel is upset, because one of the best power hitters, Ryan Howard, would have been up to bat, and the Phillies could have scored or won.

I don't really know who I want to win the world series, as all of my favorite teams have already lost. The Phillies won last year, but the Yankees have not won since 2000. The next game in the series is tomorrow night, and at this point, anyone could take the title.
