Playoffs Thoughts

Sorry I haven't updated MysteriousWalker for a few days. But I'm back now and that's what counts homies.
Starting in the National League, the Reds coughed up a golden opportunity to even their series with the Phillies. Up 4-0, Cincinnati's usually golden defense let them down as the Phils rallied to win yesterday 7-4. If you commit 4 errors, as the Reds did, you don't deserve to win.
As for game one, Roy Halladay's no-hitter was simply amazing. The guy is a machine.
So, the Reds down 2-0 in the best of 5 series are heading home. Is it over for the Reds? Well, it doesn't look good does it?
The Braves picked up an improbable win in Game 2 at San Fran. The Giants had a 3-0 lead and let it slip away.
After Tim Lincecum's 2-hit, 14 punchout game in the opener, the Giants have to be kicking themselves for allowing the Braves to mount a late comeback and win 5-4 in 11-innings on a blast into McCovey cove by Rick Ankiel.
The thing that really amazed me about this game took place in the bottom of the 10th. With the game tied at 4, the Giants had the bases loaded with one out. Buster Posey hit a grounder to Troy Glaus at third. I would have thrown home to get the force out. When Glaus went to second, I thought, "What is he doing?" Omar Infante made a nice turn at second and they got Posey easily at first.
So the Braves tie the series heading back to Atlanta where they had the best home record in baseball. Plus, Tim Hudson will go in Game 3 for the Braves against Jonathan Sanchez. Advantage Atlanta.
In the American League, the Rays bats were silent the first two games, scoring just 1 run total. The Rangers simply dominated the Rays at the Trop. Surprising? Yes, absolutely. I figured the Rangers would be happy to split but two win both, and convincingly, I'm stunned.
As for the Yankees and Twins, I'm not surprised that New York took two games in Minnesota. The Yanks simply have the Twins number. I don't know what the Twins mindset is. I'm sure they are talking about how confident they still are. But seriously, deep down inside how can they think they can beat the Yankees?
The Yanks will try to close it out tonight in the Bronx.
All told, it's been an interesting post-season so far.
