Boston Red Sox; Inter-league Play Begins with the Red Sox heading to Philly to play World Champion Philadelphia Phillies!
With last years champs in town facing what I believe to be this year's champs (the Red Sox) I think we should have a good series and a good game and last night we had a battle. Even though the Sox are 11-2 versus the Philly’s since 2005!

NL Wild Card: Philadelphia Phillies; NL Champion: New York Mets; World Series Champion: Boston Red Sox
3. MVPS: Josh Hamilton and David Wright. The young phenoms have taken different paths to greatness, but at the end of the ’09 season, their numbers will be very similar. Hamilton and Wright are both young enough that they haven’t reached their ceilings, and they will both finish with 35 plus home runs, 130 plus RBI and batting averages well over .300. It wouldn’t be a shocker if both spent the season in the running for the Major’s first triple crown winner in hitting since Carl Yastrzemski. While Wright will lead his team to the playoffs as either the NL East victor or via the wildcard, Hamilton and his Texas Rangers will be on the outside looking in unless the Rangers’ staff turns out to be a lot better than the entire world predicts. Hamilton’s numbers will be just too spectacular to ignore. Other potential AL winners: Mark Teixeira, Justin Morneau, Alex Rodriguez, Grady Sizemore and Jason Bay. Other potential NL winners: Manny Ramirez, Albert Pujols, Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Braun and Chase Utley.

Along with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs, the New York Mets and incumbent champion Philadelphia Phillies are the league’s elite. The Florida Marlins and Atlanta Braves should have respectable seasons while the Washington Nationals battle with the San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates for the label of most horrendous team in the league.

I am the last person on earth to say that the world series should have been decided by a rain-shortened game, but the turn of events that have lead to a 3.5 inning shootout to determine the winner of game five on Wednesday night is a bit weird to say the least.

The tune of “Rain Drops Keep Falling on My Head” must have been going through Cole Hamels mind in the top of the sixth inning of game five of the World Series on Monday night.
With the rain beating down and puddles filling up all over the in field, Hamels and the other Phillies had to be wondering why they were still on the field. Why wouldn’t the officials call it? Were they trying to give the Rays a chance to tie it up, so they wouldn’t have a World Series game shortened by rain?

I know, I know, you're as sad and distraught as I am about the elimination of the Red Sox at the hands of the tampa Bay Rays. Actually, if that is true, then you must be feeling ok, because I'm really not that torn up about it. If this were five years ago, I'd still be in bed crying myself to sleep and cursing the universe for conspiring against me and playing such a cruel joke on a desperate fan.

Last night the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers to advance to the World Series. All congratulations to the Phillies, but I am disappointed. I am a Red Sox fan, so even
