Baseball Playoffs at its Best.

As i think about what to write about the previous 2 games this Wednesday, I feel as upset as if the Indians were playing tonight about the rain delay at Yankees stadium. Its not because I have a soft spot for the Yankees like many think I do, but because there is simply nothing more exciting that watching playoff baseball in New York. From a TV perspective the atmosphere just cannot be emmulated. I remember the atmosphere during the Indians playoff runs in the 90's and it certainly was amazing, and it would be amazing to see how that compares to Yankees stadium in person. Jeters performance last night was simply amazing...he earns all the praise he recieves.

As for the previous two games, they both had two crazy plays that had effects on the outcome of the game. During the Twins/A's game Tori Hunter made an unexpected outfielder blunder that led to Kotsay hit a 2-run inside-the-park homerun. If Hunter hadnt dove at an uncatchable ball The A's coulda had 1st and 3rd and tied at 2-2 instead of being at 4-2.

In the Dodgers and Mets game the Dodgers ran themselves out of a atleast a run by getting two runners thrown out at first in the same inning. Jeff kent ran right through a stop sign and JD Drew didnt watch the play in front of him and possibly cost the Dodgers a chance at an extra run they desperately needed.

Well the Yankees and Tigers played the afternoon game i desperalely wanted to see last night, and the Tigers pulled out a close game with some great pitching from the bullpen. Todd Jones pitched the 9th for the save, but if i was manager i would have loved to see Zumaya finish the game off because he was dominating the Yankee hitters and shoulda been there for the final inning.
