BASEBALL RECAP...

Well, the official 2007 MLB Playoffs started off last night, with the Rockies, Angles, Diamondbacks, and Sawks (for all you Boston natives) all coming out victorious. Most experts say winning the first game of a 5 game set is huge, I disagree, However; when you do it on the road that's HUGE. All 4 games were relatively low scoring games, which was a bit of a surprise personally, but there's a lot of baseball left to be played. Then again those low scores are probably a result of each team starting their ace, that would make some sense.

I have one question, has there ever been a pitcher called Mr. October (leave Ruth out of this)? I ask that because Josh Beckett pitched his 5th play-off shut out last night, 5th. This man is on the verge of being invincible in the post-season. He was filthy, disgusting, grossly, NASTY. I'm not even sure if that's a sentence, but that's my point, in the post season, I don't know if Josh Beckett is a human. What he was throwing last night should be outlawed and if he continues to pitch like that, Red Sox fans you better start camping outside of Fenway right now, because you'll definitely be in the World Series.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Lou Pinella I respect you with all of my heart, but didn't you see what happened to the Padres when they held back their ace for another game? Why you pulled Victor at 75 pitches is beyond all of us, but are you really trying to sell the media on "you trust your bullpen?" You're an idiot, excellent job. Let's save him for another game later in the series when you we're fighting to stay alive. Instead of letting him finishing game 1, getting the win, and taking things from there.

If the Phillies first 4 batters continue to go 0-38, with 29 K's, (exaggeration), they'll find themselves in the playoffs the same amount of time they found themselves in first place in the NL East.

Tonight 2 other teams start their bid for the Championship. The Cleveland Indians, the tribe, enter the playoffs not only enter the playoffs with the best record in baseball, but with a very solid pitching staff, and a line-up full up top notch sluggers. The other sticks it's long ugly nose into the playoff race (oh, sorry I was just talking about Joe Torre), with a solid all around team as well, it should be interesting. Enjoy all the action. God bless and much love my brothers and sisters.
