Well yesterday went completely the opposite way that I wanted it to, but if you like come from behind baseball, then you probably had a good night. In the first game, the Phillies were down 4-2 before Baker took out Arroyo and then things just started to fall apart for the Reds. Due to an ineffective bullpen but really due to an ineffective defense with errors everywhere. The short story is that the Phillies bats were able to bail out Roy Oswalt, which is really a shame because now the chances of the Reds advancing out of this series are very slim (but hopefully they will be able to do it).
The Giants looked for a while to take game 2 with force, but it wasn't meant to be. After giving up 4-0 lead to become a 4-4 tie, the Braves were able to win it on a homer by Rick Ankiel in the top of the tenth. Surprisingly, the Braves vs Giants series is the only Division Series with both teams getting a win. They will be the only one that will have to at least play four games.
I guess more on that topic, while this postseason has been exciting, I hope the Rays/Reds/Twins get a win or something in their next game. It would be a shame for everyone to advance immediatley with no fight from the losing team. There is plenty of Drama within each game, but we could use some overall drama.
