Blog 31

Alright, so tonight I just got done watching the Giants and Phillies game 6 of the baseball postseason.  This was for the NLCS or the National League Pennant if you will.  Yesterday, the Rangers clinched against the Yankees to go to the World Series.  Having gone to Yankee Stadium this past summer and having always been a moderate Yankees fan (I'm a die hard Reds fan no matter what) I was slightly disappointed to see the Yankees lose and not make it to the World Series.  Anyways, the Giants also clinched a trip to the World Series against the Phillies tonight in six games.  I was disappointed about this too.  I predicted in a previous blog that both the Yankees and the Phillies would make it to the World Series with the Phillies winning.  However, upsets do happen in sports and both the Rangers and Giants winning were upsets.  Oh well, I was looking forward to a rematch of last year's World Series against the Phillies and Yankees but its not going to happen.  My new prediction would have to be the Rangers over the Giants simply because of Cliff Lee.  He is the Rangers ace starting pitcher who has been lights out this postseason.  You could make an argument that he has been lights out his whole life, literally, his whole life, he is that good.  Also the Rangers have Josh Hamilton ( an ex Cincinnati Red and an ex cocaine addict).  He has been amazing too this entire season and has been great after returning to baseball about four years ago after his many addiction problems.
