Got What They Wanted

Naturally, when the visiting team wins the first game of a playoff series, they want to take the second game.
Both the Yankees and Giants did win Game 1 of the AlCS and NLCS. Both lost Game 2.
But the objective was to at least garner a split and that's what they did.
I didn't see much of the Yankees-Rangers opener on Friday night. Had to announce a high school football game. But I did catch the last inning and a half. Once Kinsler was picked off first after leading the 8th off with a walk, I was pretty certain that was it for Texas.
Game 2 a different story as Phil Hughes got lit up and Colby Lewis quieted the Yankees bats.
As for the Giants-Phillies, great job last night by Oswalt to stop San Fran on offense and Rollins collected 4 RBI's on the night.
The ALCS and NLCS both even at a game apiece heading to New York and San Fran.
These series have "Seven Games" written all over them.
