The big newcomer in World Series of Poker 2006 was the $50,000 HORSE event. With its record-breaking buy-in and its demand for great versatility, this poker game gathered mostly big names and was won by legendary David 'Chip' Reese.

The Phillies won the 2008 World Series last night, in the finale a 2 night game which had to be continued due to weather. This was the Phillies first World Series win since 1980. Congrats to the Philadelphia Phillies for their victory against the Tampa Bay Rays!- Get a Phillies Ringtone now!
Kitt Badlove gave you the detailed post, so now I have post the estatic one!!!! The Philadelphia Phillies are The World Series Champs beating out the Tampa Bay Rays with a score of 4 to 3 in a three inning game. I was out and about in Philadelphia right after the game, and let me tell you, the fans were going crazy, it was quite the spectacle of fireworks, car horns blaring, and all around celebra
What if they played a World Series, and nobody watched? In the most anti-climatic World Series since 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake disrupted the "Bay Area Series" the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 Wednesday night. The win came two days after the start of the contest, which was suspended in the bottom of the sixth due to rain.These two teams deserved a better showcase
DAVID J. PHILLIP | The APThey are my favorite baseball team. I am not from Philadelphia, and the Phillies are my only favorite team from there (I like teams from all over the country), but I have been rooting for them since I was 10 years old. I cheered when they won in 1980 with my favorite player Mike Schmidt. I also went to their World Series game in Baltimore in 1983. Unfortunately, they lost.
The Phillies just won the 2008 World Series on a Brad Lidge strike-out of Eric Hinske. What a weird play out of events leading to the first championship in Philadelphia since the 76'ers in 83'! I was dismissive of this series from the beginning, but I have to admit it was a great series and the better team won.Should be a wild night in Philadelphia tonight!
The Rays are just one game away of saying goodbye to their season at the border line of a World Series Championship, and bad weather is helping them to have some rest before game 5 of the series which was suspended until tomorrow.

It was wet and wild in Philadelphia last night, almost to the point it was beyond ridiculous as to why Major League Baseball allowed Game Five of the World Series to be played.After both teams played for quite a while in whipping wind and a downpour, the brass in Major League Baseball finally got to their senses and stopped the game in the sixth inning with both Philadelphia and Tampa tied at two.

Last night, the Fall Classic commenced in Tampa-St. Petersburg, and the Fighting Phils thanks to the golden arm of Cole Hamels and Chase Utley's two-run homer in the first inning lead them to victory, 3-2.After a week off, the Phillies sure were not rusty; while the Rays seemed to be pressing.Hamels went seven strong innings, and gave up two runs on five hits to earn his fourth win of the postseas

Ok, all you baseball fans...the World Series starts tonight. The Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies square off in St. Petersburg, Fl.

I gotta say, the baseball gods surprised me on this one. For the first time in 15 years, I don't have some sort of personal vendetta against either team. I was certain after game 5 of the ALCS that Boston would be in it - and win it - again. Overdramatic comebacks is just what they do, like the Elway of baseball. Yeah, everyone loves a comeback, but in those cases, I hate the Red Sox, and I ha

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays. For the first time in their history, they are headed to the World Series. And they did it by defeating the Red Sux, four games to three. I wish it could have been the Yankees. But this will do.
At Matchbook, the current ALCS line is TB -330/BOS +325. This would indicate that the Red Sox have a 23.5% chance of advancing, while the Rays are at 76.5%.In the World Series market, the Rays are +128/-132 (43.5%), and Boston is +560/-580 (15.1%). The Phillies are +133/-140 (42.4%), which means the three teams add up to 101%, so we have to adjust the two AL teams down to 43.1% and 14.9%, respec

Courage is not a word I like to use very often when talking about sports. Does it really take courage for a man to go to the field and play a children’s game while making quite a bit of money? I don’t think so. It may take guts, determination, or even mental toughness to take the field in a big game with the whole world, or at least nation, watching your every move. Knowing one mistake and you will forever be remembered for it could seem a little daunting. But courage? Maybe I am playing a semantic game here, but the word courage should be saved for true heroes. Our military, our firefighters, our police officers, they are the ones who show courage when faced with true danger.
Once in a while a sports story comes along that does inspire you, that brings you back to earth. A story that does show courage. This year’s Red Sox season had one such story. Am I talking about the unbelievable post season pitching of Josh Beckett? No. Am I talking about the clutch hitting

Just a couple of weeks ago, the Red Sox were completely on the ground. It didn’t seem like they were going to accomplish something good since the Indians were beating them, and they were just one ALCS game away from throwing their MLB season to the toilet.
Suddenly, everything changed.
Now the Boston Red Sox crown themselves as the 2007 World Series Champions, with an amazing 4-game winning streak against the Colorado Rockies. Game 4 ended on a 4-3 victory, Jonathan Papelbon as the hero who did the last move to win and one hell of a celebration. Boston showed the 86-year wait between one World Series Championship and the next one is over. After a similar victory on 2004, they took the best out of the team and became MLB Champions again just 3 years later. There seems to be a formula (and a baseball team with full capability to use it) that makes them come stronger than ever when everybody thought they would stay inside the hole dug by their contenders. In a few words, they did mo
2004 was no fluke. Alright, even Tim McCarver could tell you that (and he did, repeatedly), but what does 2007 really mean? It means that the new dynasty has arrived. As if Boston sports wasn't doing well enough, they now can add another World Series to their ongoing list of accomplishments. And there will be more. Bostonians are no longer cursed, they are blessed. This new century is starting
The Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies in the World Series to become the 2007 World Series Champions! Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox and their fans. The Red Sox won their second championship in four years. Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon struck out Rockies' pinch-hitter Seth Smith to end the game and it was time for celebration. Papelbon threw his glove in the air, and opened his arms for Jason Varitek. Varitek put the ball in his back pocket and leaped into Papelbon's arms as everyone gathered together to celebrate victory. Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell won the World Series MVP trophy along with two new vehicles.(Picture is courtesy of Getty images)

Okay losers, listen up. I don't really care about you as people or the fact that at least some in your organization believe Jesus wears purple pinstripes. However, I AM concerned about the poor showing by the National League, especially given that the Red Sox's recently-emboldened fans seemed to declare this series a walk from the beginning due to the fact that they were playing an NL team. Then there's the fact that, once the Yankees were out of it, Red Sox Nation began the pre-celebration celebration. You can feel the sense of entitlement from here. And as soon as this is over, we're all going to be subjected to the hubris of Patriots fans, many of whom have been too distracted by the WS to sing the praises of the Ken Doll at their normal volume.
Look, at this point, I don't have much hope that you'll come back and win this thing. All I'm hoping for is to save a little face for all of us in the NL. I'm really going to have to ask you to win at least ONE game. Two would be f
A Taco Bell, loja de fast-food oficial da Major League Baseball (MLB), fará uma grande promoção aproveitando o World Series, série melhor de sete jogos que decide o campeão do esporte nos Estados Unidos. Batizada de “Steal a Base, Steal a Taco” (“Roube uma base, roube um taco”, em tradução literal), a promoção distribuirá lanches grátis.
“Roubar a base” ocorre quando um dos corredores vai em direção à base seguinte enquanto o arremessador está jogando a bola na direção do rebatedor. Esta jogada é comemorada porque aproveita um momento de distração do arremessador já que, caso este perceba a tentativa, pode tentar um lançamento para outro jogador de seu time com o intuito de eliminar o corredor.
Se algum jogador do Boston Red Sox ou do Colorado Rockies, os finalistas, conseguir roubar a base em um dos sete jogos, a Taco Bell dará tacos de graça por todo os Estados Unidos, em datas marcadas. O valor de cada lanche é de aproximadamente US$
Nothing means so much to me then to see the Red Sox sweep the Colorado Rockies in the World Series. Of course, I really wanted them to finish the series back in Boston, but I can settle for a sweep as well.
It was no surprise to see Mike Lowell get MVP. Lynette’s brother Papu picked me all the way off the ground. I could practically touch the ceiling. Everyone was so excited. My friends and family from home were calling my cell phone left and right. They knew how much this meant to me. Not to mention the Patriots kick the Redskins 52-7.
Cub-killer Josh Fogg v. Dice-K. As an added bonus, Big Papi is playing 1st. I can't WAIT to see that.
Come on, you stupid Rockies. Stop embarrassing Jesus and win a game already.
