But walks got him in trouble in the fifth inning, and the Tampa Bay Rays lost to the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-2. Here's my game story, live from Milwaukee.

REPEAT WINNERS: We haven't had a repeat World Series champion since 2000 when the New York Yankees won three in a row.

I put together a list of ALL teams that repeated for Roundtable Sports, and it brought back a lot of fun memories. Check it out.

Baseball fans have learned over the course of the past quarter century that repeating as World Series champions is not an easy thing to do.
