New Jersey has been officially split in half.

This is quite possibly the most exciting World Series matchup, ever.

The Philadelphia Phillies vs. the New York Yankees. It just sounds epic. It actually already has a nickname: the Liberty Series.

North Jersey vs. South Jersey. This is basically what it comes down to.

A-Rod, Derek Jeter, and Mark Teixeira vs. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Raul Ibanez.

Mariano Rivera vs. Brad Lidge.

And, for the first game at least: CC Sabathia vs. Cliff Lee.

It will be epic. Yes, I’ve said it before, but I’m saying it again because it’s true.
