Playoffs here we come......almost

     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 21, 2010 there are 12 games left this season before the playoffs and World Series start.  The New Yankees who are still leading their division by one and a half games up on the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Rays have to get in the swing of things for the last 12 games of the season if there going to have any chance of catching the Yankees.  The AL Central is set with the Minnesota Twins leading, up by eleven games on the Chicago White Sox.  There is no way the White Sox can catch up to the Twins.  As for the AL west, the Texas Rangers who have an amazing offensive team are eight games up, but they are heading into the playoffs without their best hitter Josh Hamilton.

Rangers power hitter, Josh Hamilton

 
      Now for the  National League, the Chicago Cubs are way to far out of the Central division.  The St.Louis Cardinals are trailing seven and a half games in behind the Cincinnati Reds, who are going into the playoffs at ease.  The NL East has spread alot farther by a five 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 coming right down to it,  with the San Francisco Giants leading by the a half game in front of the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies are only one and a half games out.  This division is all up for grabs, it will be decided by the team that wants to play the best ball.
      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!
