Great Finish In Philly

Wow. I was pulling for the Dodgers since the Phillies won it all last year, but watching the Phils play it's hard to root against them. What an awesome 9th inning.


I loves me some Matt Stairs. Here's his 2008 October Heroes card with him pictured hitting the ball a country mile in the game against the Dodgers in last year's NLCS.

Yankees cruise in Game 1

C.C. pitched another great game and Matsui drove in a pair.


This was a pretty boring game.

Say hello to a 2008 Chone Figgins.

Phillies close out Rockies

Boy, this ended up being the best game of the first round. Three runs in the bottom of the 8th for the Rockies to take the lead followed by three runs in the top of the 9th for the Phillies to take it back. Here's Yorvit Torrealba after his double that temporarily gave the Rockies the lead before Huston Street did his Brad Lidge impression. Speaking of Lidge, what's got into him this postseason?

Was it just me or was Torrealba in the middle of every rally the Rockies had this series?


Here's Ryan Howard on a 2008 card. My phavorite Phillie is having a monster postseason so phar.


Ok, I'm phinished with the ph puns......phor real.....

Halos take two

I fell asleep with the score tied 1-1. I'm getting too old for west coast baseball. Especially when I open my first beer 5 hours earlier.....


The Red Sox are in deep doodoo. Hopefully Pedro can turn things around in Game 3.....

Congrats to Macier Izturis, which I think is Venezuelan for Mark Loretta.

Yanks win again

I'll admit it was a great game, save for all the slobbering Carey and Darling did over A Rod, but I just can't seem to get into this series knowing the Twins robbed us of that playoff spot.

Where was that Joe Nathan when we needed him Tuesday?


A Rod makes me want to puke. They should just rename the new Yankee Stadium "Howard J. Lamade Stadium." (Look it up......)

Oh well, let's hope the Twins can win Game 3 just to keep it interesting.

Rockies even it up

I missed this game while I was at work yesterday. I guess Yorvit Torrealba fared better than Cole Hamels, pictured here on a 2008 Fall Classic card.

Yanks beat the Tig, er..., Twins....

The Yankees whooped up on the Twins tonight. I feel a little bit better. Not much. Just a little bit.....

C. C. Sabathia pitched a great game, save for three consecutive hits in the 3nd inning. The Yankees came right back and it wasn't much of a game from then on. Matsui had a big HR that put the game away early.


All-World Joe Mauer knocked in a run for the Twins. Here's his 2008 card. I'll be glad to see him sign with the Yankees when Posada retires.....

Phillies start it off with a win

The playoffs have begun. The Tigers aren't in them, but they way the Yankees are putting the beatdown on the Twins right now that may not be such a bad thing.

Cliff Lee shut down the Rockies this afternoon. Above is a 2009 Postseason Special card. Below is his 2008 card. Somewhere Chief Wahoo is going boo-hoo.....


Jayson Werth had a big triple in the game too. Here is his 2009 card.
