I had the Phillies in 7, so I was wrong. Here are my observations from a Fall Classic gone by.

First of all, as a Cincinnati Reds fan, I realize just how far away the Reds are from winning another World Series. A local sports talk host pointed out the fact that there may not be one Red who would start for either the Phillies or the Yankees. I guess Brandon Phillips would start over Robinson Cano, but that is probably a close call.
  • Baseball needs a salary cap. Every other major sport has it, and how can anybody be expected to compete with the likes of the Yankees and Red Sox year in and year out. There are definitely examples where they have, but they are few and far between.
  • I know Ryan Howard puts up big numbers, but man does he strike out a lot. I would be much more fearful of a high average hitter with two outs and a runner on. He was almost useless in the Series.
  • Will Mariano Rivera pitch forever? It seems as though he will, and that he could just pitch every game and throw one pitch. I don't get it.
  • 2010 World Series will be the Reds over the Yankees in 6. Write that down.
