THEY BELONG
by D.X.Pert

The first-year managers proved they belong. All four had winning records and three of them made the Division Championship. Now we'll have two of them face off for the World Series title.
After all the hoopla sourrounding Barry Bonds' return, Big Papi and Soriano were the sluggers who took the Delivery Boys to the World Series.
The Fury won the American Division taking advantage of Randy Johnson's ejection, a huge week by Raul Ibañez and some awesome pitching performances by Loaiza and Byrd.
I look forward to a great World Series. See you next week.
