I haven't been interested in the 2010 World Series and I've been wondering why. After tossing it around in my head there are two reasons.
1. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and am still a Phillies fan. The Giants beat the Phillies in the NLCS.
2. It's difficult to get attached to a team, because the players change every year. The Giants picked up Cody Ross, Juan Uribe, Aubrey Huff, Pat Burrell among others at the beginning of the season or during the season. Not that the Phillies are innocent of this, but Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth have been with the team for several years. The roles are reversed for the pitching staffs. The Giants pitchers are home grown while the Phillies have acquired Roy Halladay and Roy Oswalt this season.
