World Series Preview!

With the Yankees and Phillies meeting up for the first time since the Yankees won the World Series it was a preview of the matchup come the end of the baseball season. With the lineups and rotations each has they were essentially displaying the game one matchup between Roy Halladay and C.C. Sabathia.

Deep breath...alright now let's calm down and take yesterday for what it was. A spring training game in March. It was not a preview of anything other than what lineup might be seen for the next game. While quite possibly, maybe probably, the favorites to meet there again after all, it was far from a preview of anything significant.

With that being said, yesterday was a nice debut and start for both pitchers, and something for the fans to get excited about in the right frame of mind. They both threw two scoreless innings, and were comfortable after the game. Halladay did have the better outing in the short stint though, as he was able to strike out three while not having a baserunner in either inning.

Again, in the scheme of things this did not mean much, but baseball is back. The two top teams from last year saw their aces throw well, and both teams are ready for another long run. Let's just let it get started before we get too excited.
