The Astros and the Phillies Are Both One Victory Away!


Congratulations to both the Astros and the Phillies!

Today, the Astros beat the Yankees with a score of 5-0!  (Who wants Houston now!?)  The Phillies defeated the Padres 10-6.  The Astros are now 3-0 in the ALCS.  The Phillies are 3-1 in the NLCS.  After tomorrow’s games, both of these teams could be heading to the World Series!  Of course, the Yankees and the Padres could always turn things around.  It’s never over until it’s over.  That’s the great thing about baseball.  But I’m starting to really look forward to an Astros/Phillies World Series!

Good luck tomorrow to all the teams!

The Astros Are Two Wins Away From The World Series


I have a lot of friends who are Yankee fans so I’m not going to brag too much but it’s still a nice feeling to wake up and know that the Astros are two games away from going to the World Series!  Go Astros!

The Astros currently leads the ALCS, 2-0.  In the NLCS, the Phillies and the Padres are tied 1-1.  The Padres and Phillies will be playing tonight and I’ll be cheering for the Phillies!  What an amazing story they’ve had this season.  I’m looking forward to an Astros/Phillies World Series!

Good luck to all the teams still in the playoffs!

NLCS Preview: Padre Rap!


The Phillies and the Padres are meeting tonight for Game One of the NLCS.  Just a few months ago, no one would have predicted that these two teams would be the ones competing for the chance to represent the NL in the World Series.  I’ll be cheering for the Padres because Yu Darvish is going to be on the mound for them but I also think the Phillies have got an amazing story and I’ll be happy for them if that story includes them going to the World Series.

The Padres have already launched a mental attack on their opponents:

Can the Phillies recover from the horrors of Padre rap?  We’ll find out tonight!  We’ll also find out if it will be the Yankees or the Guardians facing off against the Astros in the ALCS.  It’s an exciting night for baseball!

Congrats To The Braves and The Padres On Tying Up Their Series


Congrats to the Braves and the Padres, who both won Game 2 of their Divisional Playoffs today and who tied everything up.  The Padres beat the Dodgers 5-3.  The Braves beat The Phillies 3-0.  That means there will at least be a Game 4 for each of these teams.

I was so caught up in all the excitement around the Phillies making the postseason for the first time in 11 seasons, that I think I may have forgotten that they still have to beat two other teams if they’re going to make it to the World Series.  Today, the Braves reminded me to not take anything for granted.

For tomorrow, Go Astros!
