THe reason it lasted so long this year is because of the World Baseball Classic. The season didn't begin until April 7th. It usually starts around March 29th/30th. If that were the case this year, the World Series would have ended at the end of Oct.
As far as the series itself, Matsui deserved the MVP. As during other times in his career, he hit nearly everything thrown anywhere near him. 6 RBI in one game...that's crazy!
And Pedro is going to be the goat, but he didn't pitch badly at all. If he could have gotten Matsui out, we'd be looking at Game 7. He only gave up 3 hits over 4 innings, with 5 strikeouts. It was the Phillies batters who didn't do anything in Game 6, except for Ryan Howard, who didn't do anything the entire rest of the World Series. Rollins, Utley, Werth, Feliz, all hitless in Game 6 with Utley and Werth each striking out twice.
And by the way, I'm not a baseball nerd!! So there.
There's no crying in baseball
