New York gets the important victory

Sunday's great battle for sports supremacy between Philadelphia and New York ended in a split decision.

• On the football side, the Eagles slaughtered the New York Giants, 40-17. Read about the misery of Giants fans, and commiserate with them, at Big Blue View.
• On the baseball side, the Yankees moved within one game of the World Series title with a 7-4 victory over the Phillies. You can read all about that at Pinstripe Alley.

All in all, I would say that New York came away with the victory that mattered.
