Last Thoughts on the Philadelphia Phillies

Now that the World Series loss is in the rear view mirror a bit more, a few thoughts on the run that was.

So much heart on that team. An amazing group of guys. When you look at our guys, and where they've been in the past, the struggles they've had, the lack of pedigree on the team, it's really incredible what they have been able to accomplish. Guys like Jayson Werth who have bounced around the league and basically failed miserably. Would Carlos Ruiz make the Yankees? Nope. I wouldn't trade him for both of their catchers though.

Money CAN buy championships. It can. We just saw it. What was it like 400+ million spent on the team in the offseason just on new acquisitions? They bought themselves a pitching staff and a first baseman, and that pitching staff kicked our asses for the most part. CC and Burnett are exceptional pitchers, they did their jobs well and were paid well for their efforts. And the old man came in and did work too.

As a team you can't blame the Yankee players for getting paid a lot of money. Personally, I'd take 100+ mil and go play for the Yankees, live in New York, and live the life. Can't blame the guys. They played their asses off.

They handled themselves for the most part with class throughout. Congrats to the Yankees. (aka F--K YOU, SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! haha)

Awful parade though. Shoulda taken notes from our parade last year...just sayin. Yes, I'm bitter...
