The Fall Classic

What else is there to talk about but the World Series?

With the Yankees up 2-1, and a crucial Game 4 tonight, this is as exciting as it can get. Not to mention, tonight, the Phillies will send Joe Blanton to the hill, hoping he can give them the same momentum he did in Game 4 of last year's series. Remember his home run?

The Yanks will counter with CC Sabathia on 3 days rest, which after his Game 1 performance, may be a stretch. If the Phils can feed of the home crowd and make CC work, they will get to the Yanks middle men, who as we've seen, are shaky at best.

I seriously think this series can go 7, with the pitching matchups that are coming up. And though I'm rooting for the Phillies, I just don't see them overcoming the Yankees in Yankee Stadium. But hey, Marlins did it in 03, so I'll keep my hopes up for now.

Raptors' lackluster defense today cost them another game. With a record of 1-2, they need to start getting on the right track. Though Bosh and Bargnani are doing a fantastic job!
