New Champions are Crowned!
Joe Buck’s final call was a terrific microcosm of the entire 2008 World Series:
“The Phillies are World Champions.”
That’s it. A monotone 5 word summary is all that is needed. No pithy puns, no witticisms are warranted here. Buck nailed the call. You probably missed this, since “House M.D.” and “South Park” and “Barack Obama” all had new episodes on this week, but here is what happened: five baseball games were played and the Phillies won 4 of them, and now it is 30 degrees outside. Game over. Season Over. Blah. Time for the holidays. Shoot me in the face with an AR-15, please.
Next up: our prospect analysis continues, along with my recommendations on the Red Sox catching situation.
