The Rays made a valiant effort, but the Phillies deserve every inch of that trophy and Cole Hamels deserves his MVP award just as much. Joe Blanton shocked all of us, and I hope we'll all remember that home run for a long time (I know I will). Evan Longoria shocked us too… but in a very different manner (let's just say that despite his brilliant performance through the rest of the season, we may hear "Eva, Eva!" elsewhere than Citizens Bank Park in the first few games of '09).
…That's basically everything I have to say about the World Series, except that now that work has theoretically begun on the horror film 28 Months Later (the sequel to 28 Weeks Later, which was the sequel to 28 Days Later), will we eventually be seeing 28 Years Later, a horror film directed specifically at people with 'All The Way Rays' signs and other overambitious paraphernalia?
And of course, let us not forget the awards! The Most Random Home Run award is securely in the domain of Joe Blanton (congrats, Joe) and the Other Team MVP award goes to Carl Crawford. If you have any complaints about the allocation of these awards, feel free to leave a comment.
