NBA hurry up!

   I am back again for some more sports blogging.  To inform you on some more Major League Baseball.  Sadly the basketball season still has not started!  But is getting closer every single day.
   As of today, September 28 2010 there are 5 games left this season before the playoffs actually start.  The New York Yankees who were leading last week by on and a half games are now trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by one game.  The two teams played a four game series last week, and they split it 2-2, letting the Rays take a lead.  The AL Central has been decided for quite some time, with the Twins with the second best record in the MLB with 92 wins.  They are also nine games up on the Chicago White Sox.  So the central is set.  As for the AL west, the Texas Rangers who are still stacked on offense are heading into the playoffs with ease.
   Now for the National League, the Cincinnati Reds who destroyed through all their Central division opponents.  They are now six games up in their division leaving the St. Louis Cardinals trailing behind them.  All of the Reds players are healthy and ready for the playoffs.  The NL East has spread alot farther by a six game margin.  The Philadelphia Phillies are leading this division, behind them are the Atlanta Braves who made a good run for it but the Phillies are just to deep.

  The NL West is still coming right down to it.  The Colorado Rockies are out of it but the San Diego Padres and the San Fransisco Giants are still battling for first place.  With the Giants leading by one game.
   This is just a brief update about what is going on in the professional baseball world.  Each day is getting closer and closer to the World Series and also the start of the NBA season.  So tune in next week for another sports recap and hopefully some basketball news finally!
