A Very Good Day For Baseball

After last night's snoozer of a game between the Phillies and Dodgers (final score: Phi 11, LAD 0), I didn't have high hopes for today's LCS doubleheader. But the Yankees and Angels provided all kinds of excitement in a 5-4 11th inning Angel victory (series now 2-1 in favour of NYY) and that was followed by the National League combatants matching that in a game that sees a 4-3 Dodgers advantage going into the 9th inning in Philadelphia (with the series sitting at 2-1, Phi, coming in). After all of the sweeps in the Divisional Series and the way today's games started (Yankees jumping out to a 3-0 lead and looking like they'd grab the throat of the series by that same margin, and Phillies scoring 2 in the 1st inning to go with their 11 from yesterday), I would never have guessed how great the baseball would get later on in the day. But it sure did!
