The Longest Baseball Season Ever...or at least it feels like it

About two weeks ago, I was jumping up and down, I was raising my cup to cheers, and I was ecstatic beyond belief. Why? Because my four favorite teams were the last four contenders in the 2009 baseball season.

A little bit ago, I wrote up a post about all the teams that I enjoy watching.

Among those teams I said the Phillies, the Yankees, the Angels, and the Dodgers, each for their own reasons.

With the 2009 season coming to an end, the last two teams left are the Phillies and the Yankees.

And to be honest, I don't know who to cheer for?

Do I cheer for my hometown team? Or do I cheer for the team that I have enjoyed watching since the time Wade Boggs graced their roster?

I wouldn't have minded it being a Phillies, Angels World Series because each of their teams lost a respected part of their team at the beginning of the season, and I think it would have been good karma.

I also wouldn't have minded the Dodgers playing the Yankees in the World Series because it would have been nice to see Torre take on his old team.

And the Dodgers vs the Angels? Well I don't think anyone else besides me on the East Coast would care, but it would have been a lot of fun to be in LA for it!

But with this...who do I cheer for? Or do I refrain from watching baseball for the week and just let it all happen without my knowledge? I mean--I have watched how many days of baseball this year--starting with the WBC back in MARCH and now the World Series going into NOVEMBER.

This truly has been a marathon of a baseball season. I can't say I don't love it...baseball is everything to me, but the guys have got to be tired.

Let's hope that the Phillies and the Yankees can put in one last good week of baseball to make what feels like the never-ending season, completely worth the wait for the series. And let's hope the weather stays nice too...or else we might see these games make it to Thanksgiving....Turkey Series anyone?
