Wojciechowski: Yanks are playing Series spoilers

From Gene Wojciechowski:
What if I told you the New York Yankees are ruining this World Series?

What if I said that Andy Pettitte has as many hits as Mark Teixeira?

Or that CC Sabathia has as many pitching wins as George Steinbrenner?

And yet, incredibly, the Yankees can close out this thing with a win Monday night. They can make the Philadelphia Phillies the ex-world champions. They can do what few, if any people predicted: beat the Phillies in phive.

That's how good these Yankees are. They improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Talk all you want about their $208 million payroll and their roll call of stars, but the Yankees are winning because of their hearts, not their bank accounts.

...

For the sake of a Series predicted to be an actual Fall Classic, it would be nice if the Phillies could somehow push this to a seventh game. But, sigh, I'm not holding my breath.
Before the series began I thought this would end up being a classic series. But I don't know about you, but I couldn't care less if it actually turned into one or not. The more dominating, the more embarrassing for the Phillies and their fans, the better. After trumping even the Red Sox and their fans in the classless department I want this one to hurt. Let's put 'em away tonight.
