As the World Series gets under way later tonight, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the "frienemies" that will develop between fans in this year's World Series.

Hope you enjoy!

Hi Claire!! I'm sure you're as jazzed as I am!

I got really annoyed with Cole's antics on the mound. It really would be nice if he could get his act together.

Former MLB player Eric Karros called my article into question on Colin Cowherd's ESPN Radio show yesterday.

He challenged me for a re-do: but here's my response.

I assure you, it's not just a ridiculous personal attack, but it shows that Karros was off-base with his statements.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote The Year Too Early NFL All-Decade Team.

This is its baseball counterpart, The Half of a Year Too Early MLB All-Decade Team, and my 100th article here on Bleacher Report.

More bad news for the Eagles' defense...

How do you recover from the loss of Bradley, Dawkins, and Jim Johnson?

The trade deadline came and passed, and the Phillies didn't get Roy Halladay.

What the team did get however is a reigning Cy Young award winner who could very well be the key to the Phillies repeating as World Champions.

Looks like you'll get an up-close look at the Phil's newest addition. Will you get to see the game in person?

Hope you're well :)
