After receiving a Division One Scholarship, singer and songwriter T Jay's life was 24/7 Baseball. T Jay always loved music and played gigs on the side to make extra money while he was in college. However, one winter during the off season his music started to take off and he hasn't looked back since. For more information, please visit www.myspace.com/tjaymusic. Meanwhile, we knew T Jay was a big Yankees fan, so we asked him to give us 5 reasons why his team would win the World Series, which kicks off tonight with the Yankees taking on the Phillies.....
Although I might be a Yankee fan, I'm a baseball fan first. And to tell you the honest truth, I think its going to be a really great series. Both teams are top of the heap in almost every category. I think its really going to depend on pitching performance as well as who gets hot and stays consistent at the plate. I'm not sure how this is going to turn out, but here it goes...
1. Pitching - pitching is always key. CC (Sabathia) has had a great year, so they'll be looking for a big win from him. Pettite (despite the Angels loss) looked great in his last outing. One area where the Phils might falter is in Pedro (Martinez). He admittedly has struggled with the Yanks. But nonetheless, he's still a great pitcher with some great stuff, so its tough to count him out.
2. Bullpen - Mariano Rivera...there's not much more you can say about a guy who boasts the numbers he does. Let's not forget he only really throws ONE pitch.
3. Jeter - No one plays ball like Derek Jeter. There's no one else in baseball anyone would rather have at bat with the game on the line.
4. A-Rod - No one can deny the guy's been hot. Provided he keeps his momentum, he'll be difficult for the Phils to get around.
5. Recent hitting - the couple players, namely Mark Texiera and Robinson Cano who have not been as hot as we have liked so far, appeared to show signs of momentum in the past few games. Particularly Cano, who has been hitting a lot of solid line-drives. When all the pistons are firing, the Yanks are unstoppable. If the cooler hitters get hot, they could cause big problems for the Phils.
Although my pick is the Yanks, I have to say I think its going to be a great series. I doubt there would be a blowout by either side.
