So I have been watching a lot of the baseball postseason playoffs.  Growing up I played baseball from when I was 4 all the way up through high school until I was 18.  I was actually on a state championship baseball team when I went to Lakota West High School.  But anyways, back to the major league post season.  I am a huge Reds fan.  So for anyone who has followed sports at all within the past month or so, you should know that the Reds recently made the playoffs.  Unfortunately, they were swept out of the first round by the Phillies.  I hate to admit it but the Phillies were just outright better than the Reds.  The Reds were a better hitting team, but good pitching always beats good hitting and the Phillies have an amazing pitching staff.  As of right now, the playoff picture looks like this:  the Phillies and the Giants are in a series for the National League Pennant and the Rangers and the Yankee are in a series for the American League Pennant.  My prediction is that the Phillies and Yankees will make it to the World Series and the Phillies will win it all.  Hopefully the Reds will be back to the postseason next year, which I think they will so I can't wait for April to roll around next year.  All in all it was an exciting year because the Reds made it back to the postseason for the first time since 1995.
