2010 Playoffs for the MLB…

Man, the playoffs are here again and right now I’m watching the Rangers against the Rays, it’s the series is tied at 2 and I can only say that a Rays and Yankees ALCS will be exciting because both teams have no real strength because the Yankees have decent pitching but a strange offense. What I mean by this is that A-Rod isn’t exactly having a great year yet they still managed to get into the playoffs with help of an offense that had two players that are rarely mentioned in Robinson Cano and Nick Swisher. I can only hope that the ALCS shows us the talent of the two best teams in the AL because the NL has shown no real threat to the AL. Besides the Phillies, the NL is filled with players who hit a crazy amount of homers yet they strike out immensely which includes Carlos Gonzalez, Ryan Howard, Marl Reynolds, David Wright, and Hanley Ramirez. The Phillies have it within them to take it all because I’m now convinced the Phillies have a crazy pitching rotation with Halladay, Oswalt, and Hamels which is saying a lot because all three of those guys can easily anchor any staff on any team yet they are the top three starters for the Phillies. With an offense that includes Chase Utley, Placido Polanco, and Jimmy Rollins who knows what they’re capable of because of a great bullpen with an almost unstoppable closer in Brad Lidge they can take on any team at this point, (yes including the Giants). I woudn’t say the Phillies are going to walk away with the NL pennant because the Giants have the power to at least make it interesting. Well, onto the game that’s going on right now between the Rays and Rangers (btw go Rays). 2-1 Rangers!
