I am particularily starting this link because of a chat between Red_Two and I last night during game one of the World Series.  Pretty much to talk about anything baseball.

Game Two of the World Series comes on tonight.  I hope the Phils can put the Yankees in a deficit again.

Well, I'm a Cubs fan, so I'm forever cursed!  I don't particularly like the AL, and HATE the Yankees.  Buying a team does NOT mean you bought the World Series.  I hope the Phils destroy the Yanks!  Although, with football and hockey going on, and the Cubs not in the Series, Baseball is dead to me until next year!

I am torn,  I was a big Yankees fan when I was a kid, I vivdly recall watching Mr. October  but I do hate the way things have went with the big money teams.

I'm a Red Sox fan, so of course I'm rooting for the Phills this year. It'll be nice to see Pedro pitch again tonight. Man, our season's been over for 2 weeks now and already I'm missing the sox lol.

Phatty I feel for you. As a sox fan I know what cubs fans are going through. I would love to see them win the world series one day (except of course if its against my sox  :P). Hell, we did it twice, I'm sure you guys can do it soon too.

I'm hoping that now that the Cubs are privately owned instead of publicly, we'll get some real results.  Get a new GM, do some honest scouting, get some quality draft picks, go after a solid pitching rotation, drop Milton Bradley in the lake, get rid of Soriano, and get some players who are more consistent and play harder!

Yea I agree about Milton Bradley. The Cubs need to dump him, maybe get something for him. Problem is I don't think anyone would want him, not with the way he ended the 2009 season. He reminds me of what Manny was with the sox in 2008 leading up to the trade deadline.

Speaking of trades, got a website for anyone interested, which gets updated pretty much everyday. On the right hand side, if you scroll down about half-way you can follow each individual team's rumors.

The Phillies might have lost last night, but it was a fun game to watch altogether.  Hopefully their luck improves in Philly.

Another great game last night.  Homeruns by both teams, although the Phillies lost.

3-1 Phils, Bottom of the 3rd, 0 Outs, Man on First.  I'd say it's going well, especially with Howard up.

Looks like the Phillies beat the Yanks 8-6 to force a game 6.  I'll give it this much, it's been a decent series so far.  GO PHILLIES!

I would have been more watchful of it had it been almost anyone but the Yankees.  I feel they're a communist or even Marxist organization.  And for as much money as they throw at these players, flat out buying them from other teams, you'd expect them to win EVERY year, without question.  A-Rod is NOT worth the money he makes, as he fails to produce under pressure.  The rest are good players, but other than Jeter, NONE of them are GREAT players.  I'd take a team like the Twins, who win and play hard for an entire payroll less than 2 of them damn Yankees.

Now, if the Dodgers were in instead of Philly, I'd watch, because I'd LOVE for Torre to have beaten the Yankees.  That would be awesome!   Of course, until my Cubs make it, I'll be forever put out by it!

Now, all this said, watching the highlights from SportsCenter, I have to give credit where it's due.  The Yanks are playing good ball.  Still, I want to see Philly pull it out and repeat over them Yanks!
