Let’s start with Texas. Too bad they didn’t hold on to game 1, because they could’ve been up 2 games on the Yankees heading into tomorrow’s game 3 in New York. The Texas faithful stood on their feet almost the whole game, and they watched their Rangers smash New York back to the Big Apple.
Texas kept hitting the ball long, and to right field all day long as they kept the Yankees at bay most of the day to win their first ever home playoff game. Now they they have Cliff Lee ready to go for the next one in New York, where they have to take at least one game to stay awake in the series.
Game 3 is on Monday in the Bronx on TBS.
Game 1 of the NLCS was fantastic. Lincecum was good enough to hold the Phillies in their own park even against Roy Halladay. Cody Ross was the player of the game after he belted 2 homers in the biggest game of his life against Halladay. The Giants seem to be the scruffy team that Boston may have been in 2004. They have the beards, the hair, and the care free attitude that may just give them an extra boost to vault them to the dance next week. They seems to be a sense of calm in their dugout, but that could change tonight if they don’t stay on task. How about that Juan Uribe? Here’s a guy with 24 home runs and 85 RBI’s this season, and still takes his game to higher level in the post season. He doesn’t have a great swing, but his defense and clutch hitting is getting him by just fine this post season.
Don’t expect a Giant win tonight, as Philly has to win to keep their spirits high as their town was in 1776. Look for Philly to bounce back tonight and tie the series up.
The game is on FOX at tonight. Enjoy your Sunday and GO Bears!
