Despite not blogging much about them until now, I've been raptly following this year's MLB postseason. Through the magic of PVR, I've managed to see nearly every inning of each game so far. The Division Series were pretty hit-and-miss, as the Yankees and Phillies didn't seem to have much trouble sweeping away the Twins and Reds, respectively. The other two matchups were more even, and the Tampa Bay/Texas series had the freaky highlight of seeing every game won by the road team! First time in playoff history that's happened, I believe.
Now that the League Championship Series are underway, the quality's been a bit better. Last night the Yankees overcame a 5-0 deficit to beat the Rangers 6-5, and then looked like they might repeat that feat in Game 2 this afternoon... but no, Texas "held on" for a 7-2 victory to even the best-of-7 ALCS at 1-1. Tonight's Phi/SF Game 1 was fabulous, with the Giants finally getting to Roy Halladay and scratching out a 4-3 win. I can't see any World Series matchup (of the 4 possible ones) that wouldn't interest me, so this bodes well for the remaining October baseball games.
