A Yankees vs. Astros American League Championship Series Is Almost Inevitable

With the Yankees and Astros dominating their American League Division Series against the Twins and Rays respectively, are we headed to a Yankees-Astros clash in the American League Championship Series, just like in 2017? Bovada and other sportsbooks agree with this. Back then, the Astros won a classic seven-game series to reach the World Series […]

American League Championship Series: Toronto Blue Jays versus Cleveland Indians

The first surprise of this year’s American League playoffs came when the Toronto Blue Jays quickly disposed of the top-seeded Texas Rangers 3-0, followed by the Cleveland Indians sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the other matchup. Both teams have now had the opportunity to rest a few days and realign its starting pitching.   […]

2014 ALCS Ticket Prices & How They Compare with Past Years

Wow, who would have thought that the 2014 ALCS would come down to the Baltimore Orioles and the Kansas City Royals as both teams swept their opponents three games to none! It’s surprising that teams with Mike Trout, Albert Pujols & Josh Hamilton (Angels) and Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler & Victor Martinez (Tigers) could be […]

Leading Men: Giants enjoy another title

The longest, most difficult time of the year for me is the stretch between the end of the baseball season, and the start of spring training. It just seems to drag on for far too long. Does it make a difference that the San Francisco Giants won the 2012 World Series? Absolutely!! I love having […]

Reds fail in the clutch

Unfortunately for the Cincinnati Reds, the 2012 season was cut short by likely National League Most Valuable Player Buster Posey and the San Francisco Giants. The Reds had not lost three games in a row at home during the regular season, but that became the case in the postseason. After winning the first two games […]

Giants ramp up rollercoaster for Round 2

I love baseball. Over the course of time, it becomes a rollercoaster ride of different emotions while rooting for your team. You go through the highs and the lows, and there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it. And, if you’ve supported your team for any significant length of time, then you realize […]

ALCS Preview: The Texas Rangers vs The Detroit Tigers

While both National League Divisional Series will be going to a decisive Game 5 tonight, the Tigers and Rangers have each earned a berth to their league’s Championship Series. We’ll take a look at how these two teams match up to try to determine which club will represent the AL in the World Series.   […]

The Giants are in the World Series!!

Image by Getty Images via @daylife The Giants eliminated the Phillies in six games to win the 2010 National League Championship to go on to the World Series to play the Texas Rangers. I must state that I did get tired and annoyed with the announcers Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, who frequently derided the […]

No World Series For the Yankees; No Peace in the Bronx

It is official. Major League Baseball will have a new champion in 2010 following the elimination of the New York Yankees. For television executives and fans of the Yankees across the world that news is the equivalent of the sky falling, but for those who are not fans of sports dynasties, it is welcomed news. […]

It’s an Orange October in San Fransisco

Wow!! Is this an Orange October or what?! So much has happened for the Giants that it has been absolutely incredible!! I am sorry that I haven’t written sooner, but I am just beside myself. It all started with the end of the season, and the Giants needed to win one game out of three […]

2009 League Championship Series Predictions

OK, I admit I was 2 for 4 with my LDS predictions, but I thought I’d try it out again. ALCS Angels -vs- Yankees Angels ALDS recap: So who would have thought that the Angels pitching would both out pitch Boston’s starters AND completely shut down Boston’s offense for most of that series? Also, almost […]

10 Reasons the Angels will be in the ALCS

The Angels are headed to the ALCS, after they finally defeat their traditional post season nemesis, the Boston Red Sox.  Bet the house on it. Granted, it’s hard to come up with a solid baseball-based argument to support that bold statement.  The Red Sox have owned the Angels in the post season since Dave Henderson […]

There’s A New Beast in the AL East

The Tampa Bay Rays Advance to the 2008 World Series After being beaten in game 6 by Josh Beckett and the Red Sox, a game the Rays should have won, the Rays beat Jon Lester in game 7, a game they should have lost. Bottom line: the Rays played better in 4 of the 7 […]

Boston Forces Game 7 in the ALCS Against the Rays

Josh Beckett out performed James “Big Game” Shields to get the win in game 6 and for the second year in a row, have come back from being down 3 games to 1 and force a deciding game 7. In tomorrow’s match up we have Boston’s new Ace of the staff, Jon Lester going up […]

Boston Leads 4-2 Going into the Top of the 9th

RF Drew faces Bradford to lead off the 9th and hits a line drive to LF Crawford. 1 out. LF Bay is 5 for 8 against Bradford in his career. He grounds out to the SS. The Rays remove Bradford for Trevor Miller. I’m not sure about this move. It doesn’t make much sense as […]

Bottom of the 8th

New pitcher for Boston is rookie and former starting pitcher Justin Masterson. SS Jason Bartlett is leading off the 8th down 4-2. He was hit by a pitch again. No outs, man on first. 2B Iwamura is 0-3 tonight. Masterson looks a bit nervous up there right now, but Varitek, with a 1-0 count goes […]

Top of the 8th

CF Crisp faces Balfour and has a leadoff walk. Manager Joe Maddon, probably this year’s manager of the year has just taken out Balfour, replaced by Chad Bradford, the knuckelscrapping submarine pitcher to face 2B Pedroia. 2B Pedroia faces Bradford with Crisp on 1B without any outs. Will Crisp take off to remove the possible […]

Bottom of the 7th as Boston Leads 4-2

Willie Aybar is pinch hitting for DH Cliff Floyd, but he pops up in foul ground to 3B Kevin Youkilis. 1 out. C Navarro is up and the count is 0-2 then he hits a towering pop up in foul ground to LF Jason Bay. 2 outs. RF Zobrist flies out to the warning track […]

Top of the 7th as Boston Leads 4-2

RF J.D. Drew leads off and popped up for the first out. LF Bay is hit by a pitch on the hip. 1B Kotsay is 1-3 in the game, a single in the second inning. He hits a high chopper to Howell, the pitcher and is thrown out at 1B. Bay moves onto 2B. Howell […]

Rays Half of the 6th Inning

Okajima is now pitching for the Red Sox. The Red Sox are leading 4-2 CF B.J. Upton and he lines out to 3B Youkilis. 1 out. 1B Pena, whos is hitting .350 with 3 HRs and 6 RBIs in this series is now up with 1 out. Full count. It was a late call, but […]

Red Sox Half of the 6th Inning

Ben Zobrist stays in the game playing RF for the Rays! 1B Kotsay leads off for the Sox. What an amazing leaping stab by 2B Iwamura with that alligator glove of his! Wow! What a play! He has definately adjusted to his move to 2B as his whole career, even in Japan, he was a […]

5th Inning – Rays

The commentators are saying that Beckett is pitching in pain and is taking some extra time warming up before the start of this half inning. C Navarro ropes a single to RF. PH Ben Zobrist is hitting for RF Gabe Gross. Count is 1-2 then Zobrist pops out to CF and is now 0-3 this […]

5th Inning – Boston

DH Ortiz, who’s hitting .143 with 1 HR and 3 RBI leads off…who hits Shields’ 91st pitch as a pop fly to LF. 1 out. Youkilis lines out to the next rookie of the year, 3B Evan Longoria. 2 outs. Drew hits another 2-out line drive double over the head of RF Gabe Gross. Bay […]

Bottom of the 4th Inning

Former Sox 1B and Northeastern University graduate from Haverhill, MA, Carlos Pena pops up to 3B Kevin Youkilis for the first out of the inning. 3B Evan Longoria flied out to CF. 2 outs. LF Crawford is 0-5 after going 5 for 5 in a previous game in this series. On Beckett’s 54th pitch of […]

Bottom of the 3rd

RF Gabe Gross leads off the Rays third inning. Beckett’s fastball is a few mph slower than usual, but he’s pitching well as Gross strikesout looking. 1 out. SS Jason Bartlett is clipped by a pitch. Bartlett didn’t even attempt to get out of the way. He barely moved. 2B Iwamura, who struckout in the […]

Top of the 3rd

CF Coco Crisp leads off and is hitting .462 in the ALCS so far. Coco was a key part to the other nights second best comeback in playoff history. He had a bunt single in the first, but was picked off 1B soon after. The count is 2-2 and Crisp flies out to his counterpart […]

Bottom of the 2nd

While TBS is recapping the missed first inning, I’d like to take this time to show my dislike of that 9 feet graphic when a runner takes a 9 foot lead from first base. What do you all think about this graphic? Crawford grounds the first pitch he sees to Pedroia (2B). 1 out. DH […]
