Playoffs - 1 Down, 2 to Go!

Yesterday was an exciting night for all Texas Ranger fans, but a disappointing for all those Yankee fans.  It was an exciting game for them last night, October 22, as the Texas Rangers played against the New York Yankees for the final time, to determine who would be going to play at this years MLB World Series.  As I'm sure many of you heard, the Texas Rangers will be playing in the World Series for the first time in franchise history!  During last night's game, the score was tied 1-all until the 5th inning, when Vladimir Guerrero, from the Rangers, hit a two-run double with a runner on third base.  (For those of you who don't know, a double is a hit that brings in 2 runs home)  It was all downhill from there for the Yankees.  Sorry, Yanks!  Try again next year.  As for the Philadelphia Phillies and the San Francisco Giants, the Phillies won the last game on Thursday, 4 - 2.  The teams are scheduled to play against each other today, October 23 in Philadelphia at 7:57 pm.  (The game will be on Fox for those interested in watching!)  For a full summary of last night's game, visit This link!

Playoffs - Getting Closer and Closer to the World Series!

I'm getting excited now - the MLB World Series starts this next Wednesday, October 27!  Who will be going, you ask?  So far, the San Francisco Giants have a lead on the Philadelphia Phillies - they won the last two games 3-0 (October 17), and 6-5 (last night, October 20).  They are scheduled to play again tonight, October 21, in San Francisco, and October 23 and 24 in Philadelphia, if necessary.  New York Yankee fans were ecstatic when the Yanks made a comeback last night, playing against the Texas Rangers.  The score was 7-2, with the Yankees in the lead.  However, the Rangers had won the previous two games 8-0 (October 18), and 10-3 (October 19).  The Rangers will be playing the Yankees on October 22 in Texas, and again on October 23 in Texas, if necessary.  Who will make it to the 2010 MLB World Series??  It's down to the wire.  The Phillies and the Yankees have only a few more chances to make their comebacks against the Giants and the Rangers, who are currently in the lead.  The pressure is on!  If anyone is interested, the next Phillies/Giants game will be shown at 7:57 pm on Fox on October 23, and the Yankees/Rangers game will be shown on TBS at 8:07 pm on October 22.  Tune in to watch the action and feel the tension as these final four teams battle it out to make it to the top!

Playoffs Update #2

Things are changing among scores of the MLB playoff teams.  Until recently, the Tampa Bay Rays were trailing behind the Texas Rangers, losing the first two games 1-5 and 0-6, but now the Rays are catching up!  They are more than catching up, actually.  On October 9 the Rays played the Rangers and won with a score of 6-3 and on October 10 they won again, 5-2.  Is this a glorious comeback for the Rays?  Will they continue on this winning streak?  We will see, with their next game on October 12.  The last two games of the San Francisco Giants and the Atlanta Braves were a tie, the Giants won one and the Braves won one.  On October 10, however, the Giants beat the Braves with a close score of 3-2.  Let's see if they will continue winning or if the Braves will make a comeback.  The Philadelphia Phillies are stomping the Cincinnati Reds, losing only one of their playoffs game so far.  They last played yesterday, October 10, and the Phillies won 2-0.  The New York Yankees won their American League Series with a sweep against the Minnesota Twins.  Sorry, Twins!  Check back for more MLB Playoff Updates!

Playoffs Update #1

It's been an exciting first week of the Major League Baseball playoffs 2010!  The Philadelphia Phillies played the Cincinnati Reds, the Tampa Bay Rays played the Texas Rangers, the Minnesota Twins played the New York Yankees, and the San Francisco Giants played the Atlanta Braves.  On the first playoff day, Wednesday, October 6, the Phillie's pitcher Roy Halladay threw a no hitter!  Not only that, but it was his second no hitter, which makes baseball postseason history!!  And for those of you who are not familiar with a no hitter, it is when not one batter from a team hits the ball.  This means not one player from the Reds hit a ball during this game.  Roy Halladay did have one walk, to Reds player Jay Bruce, on a full-count pitch.  (A full-count pitch is when there are two strikes and three balls; three strikes are needed for a strike-out and four balls are needed for a walk)  Jay Bruce was the only player from the Reds to get on base the entire game!  Needless to say, the Phillies won the game 4-0.  Then there were the Rays and the Rangers.  The Rays are off to a rough start, with their first two games ending in 1-5 and 0-6 with the Rangers in the lead.  However, the Rays still have a chance, because they have patience, a good defense, and good pitching.  The Twins and the Yankees are playing each other and so far, the Yankees are leading the last two games 6-4 and 5-2.  Some think the Twins could still win because they love to prove everybody wrong.  The Giants vs. the Braves have current scores of 1 (Giants) to 0 (Braves) and 4 (Giants) to 5 (Braves) in an 11th inning game.  Keep checking in for more exciting updates of the 2010 MLB Playoffs!
