Game Overview/Food For Thought: Odds and Ends
I tell ya, it’s been a good long while since I’ve had to write a post that’s not really about baseball and it’s got me rather at a loss of what to do. Instead of focusing on one topic today, instead let’s look at a variety of things going on that I care about: Peter […]

Grand Slam: The Amazing Rays!
The Rays have finally gone and done it. In order to make the series more interesting, they let the Sox tie it up at three games a piece, but in Game 7, Matt Garza and the Rays showed the world that they were capable of going to the series and beating Boston in their 25th […]

Grand Slam: Disappointment
How the Rays managed to lose a 7-0 lead to lose the game on Thursday against the Sox, I do not know. It’s really a shame that they couldn’t hold on for the pennant. Now it comes down to the game tonight (or the next game). In better news, Longoria smashed another one out of […]

Grand Slam: And We Have a Winner! LCS Day 7
Well, they’ve done it for the first time since 1993. The Phils have won the NL pennant. Their victory came at the expense of sloppy play by Rafael Furcal and the Dodgers in general. In the end, it didn’t matter that Manny Ramirez was batting .500 coming into the last game. It didn’t matter that […]

Wednesday Morning Quarterback: LCS Day 6
You’ve probably heard the saying that hindsight is 20/20 on Monday morning, so just imagine how well I can call ’em two days later on Wednesday. That’s right, it’s time for Wednesday Morning Quarterback, your weekly sports round-up. 13-4. I don’t think anyone expected that at all. Tim Wakefield used to be dominant against the […]

Grand Slam: LCS Day 5
It’s been a wild few games in the League Championship Series as Tampa moves ahead 2-1 and the Phillies come back in a ridiculous game to bring their series to 3-1. After suffering from a mini-slump, it seems that Evan Longoria is definitely back. He’s homered in both of the last two games helping to […]

Grand Slam: The LCS Day 2
I skipped a day, but we’re here: The League Championship Series. Even though we’ve already had two days of competition, the ALCS has only played one game while the Phillies and Dodgers are two into the NLCS. Philadelphia finds itself two games ahead after winning 8-5 last night and 3-2 on Thursday. I must admit, […]
