Great game last night. I'm hoping the Halos-Yankees game will go the full distance because I can't see the Dodgers keeping the Phillies offence quiet long enough to stretch their series out.

Another great game tonight in Los Angeles. Into the top of the ninth now.

Hopefully, the sunshine will bring out the best in the Angels and they'll take the next two to make it interesting. Can't see anything but another win for the Phillies on their patch. It might go to 6 games, but I doubt it.

Phillies v Yanks would be a great match up. Pedro pitching at Yankee stadium.

Great come back by the Angels last night. I feared the worst after they got a guy on 3rd and no outs and couldn't bring him home. That's usually all the Yankees need to take the game away from you. But they dug their heels and and got the win. Game on.

Looks like the Phillies are going to prove too much for the Dodgers. Can't see past a Phiilies win right now.

Great games last night. I'm hoping the Angels can push all the way because the Phillies look like they're through. They're playing excellently at the moment.

The Dodgers need to stop pitching to Howard to have any chance of getting back.

CC going on short rest tonight. Really hoping it backfires.

Should win one of two in the Bronx, very unlucky last night. CC is lights out this post season.

How were you unlucky? Both managers made decisions that backfired. If Scioscia had stuck with Lackey he may well have got the Halos out of it without giving up anything in the 7th.

Agree that you'll take the ALCS. I'd like to see it go to game 7 though, I'm enjoying this series.

No game 7. Yankees win the AL in 6. Roll on Wednesday night.

Won't be catching the first couple of games live but have booked off all next week so we definitely see the final game. I'm hoping for a seven game thriller and don't think it's beyond the realms of fantasy given how how the bats are for these two teams. Potentially this has the makings of one for the ages and could even rival the rlReds-Red Sox seriesrl if it lives up to expectations.

rlESPN's 100 greatest World Seriesrl from the first 100 series played.

Should be a cracker. The Phillies hit like an AL team and with the way the Yankees are getting men on base, I wouldn't be surprised to see the games run to the 4 hour mark (before extra innings).

Looks like this might be a series too far for the Phillies. Shit or bust tonight.

Closer to home, the Jays are definitely gearing up for a write off 2010 season as we rebuild. We're heading into the season with a manager that has already announced his retirement at the end of 2010. I'm assuming Halliday is on his way and with him goes the main reason for keeping pithcing coach Brad Aarnsberg, who has just taken a position with the Astros.You can bet we'll be looking for prospects in return for Doc. I now also expect them to let Scutaro go so we can get the draft picks since he'll be a Type A free agent. If Doc goes to New York, we may aswell cancel the 2010 season and let them keep that trophy they're about to pick up for 2 years.

Back to the Bronx!

I couldn't watch the 9th last night I was so convinced the Phillies were going to throw away that lead.

I felt bad for AJ and wish it had been a different Yankee pitcher that had imploded - but I can't say I'm surprised.
