Those Amazin' Phils

Last night, the Philadelphia Phillies defied the odds and took the first game of the World Series in New York, defeating the New York Yankees 6-1. They played exceptionally well, although most ESPN pundits have made the reigning World Champions the underdog for the series. Cliff Lee pitched a great game, and the gorgeous Chase Utley had a wonderful night, hitting 2 home runs to get the Phillies off to a 2-0 lead. Now, I tend to find baseball to be a dreadfully slow and boring sport, but do watch the playoffs. And in celebration of my shallowness, one of the reasons I watch is those baseball players can be very good looking. These Phillies certainly are. And so are some of the Yankees, but they didn't win game 1, and aren't my 'home team.'
