Big win…impressive.   Last night was obviously a must win situation for LA and now they’re toast.  I just like that they have to sit around Philly for another day before being eliminated (just like Tampa last year).  This series was never in doubt because of the curse of Don Mattingly.  Let me explain…..Donny Baseball was my favorite player growing up but has never been on a team that won jack balls.  His first year in NY was 1982 which was the year after they get to the world series (and lose in 6 to LA).  His last year in pinstripes was 1995 when they get to the playoffs and lose to Seattle in the ALDS.  So, he played in pinstripes for 14 years and the Yanks don’t get to the series at all, in fact, they are pretty bad.  They get to the WS the year before he gets there and they win it the year after he leaves (96).  Now, Torre takes him to LA as his hitting coach after they both get f*&#ked by Hank Steinbrenner…..and they’re about to lose again to the phils in the NLCS.  Just remember this….no team that has Mattingly in uniform will ever get to or win the WS….book it…. its a mortal lock.

With that being said, I’ve been waiting for Phils v. Yanks in the WS for a long time and its never been closer to happening than right now.  As likeable as the phils are and being my favorite NL team…..I’m thoroughly looking forward to the yanks ripping the heart out of every phils fan in the Delaware Valley.  I’m really going to enjoy it as we celebrate number 27.  In fact, I’m gonna be absolutely giddy when I see grown men crying and that forlorn look on the faces of the women and babies.

So where are we watching the games?
