And there were only 2...

      I am back for some more sports blogging.  The MLB is now in the World Series, meaning only two teams are left.  The NBA preseason is finally over.  The real season has finally started.
      The ALCS and the NLCS are finally over.  The New York Yankees lost to the strong Texas Rangers in six games.  The underdog Texas Rangers were to hot and had to much momentum on their side.  The stud Yankees team did not have enough to make a come back.  With the win by the Rangers, enters them into the next round aka the World Series.  As for the ALCS, the San Fransisco Giants were the underdog just like the Texas Rangers.  The fan favorite for this series were the Philadelphia Philies, who lost in six games just like the Yankees.  The media and the analyst had all predicted that the World Series teams would be the New York Yankees vs. the Philadelphia Philies.  But this years world series will be way different than everyone wanted.  Coverage for these games starts Wednesday October 26.

                         The NBA has finally started and the new and improved Miami Heat have taken there first lost to the veteran Boston Celtic team.  The Heat were lead by Lebron James.  Their franchise piece, Dwyane Wade had six turnovers in the loss.  He has been held to injury during most of the preseason so he was a little shakened up.  The Boston Celtics have always had good team chemistry and that is why they came out on top.

     This is a good month of sports.  The NBA season has just started and should continue to get better and more exciting.  The MLB is more important as of now, because of the World Series.  Many sports fans and I will be enjoying this great sporting all around.

One Round Down

     I am back for some more sports blogging.  The NBA season is still just in the preseason games.  So not much is going on there.  For more important things, the MLB playoffs have already played the first series of their division.
     The playoffs are usually really close games and series but this year so far was kind of a change.  The Philadelphia Phillies, having one of the best teams in the playoffs completely destroyed the Cincinnati Reds in a three game sweep.  The first game they played the Phillies ace pitcher Roy Halladay threw a shutout, meaning the Reds did not even score.  Things did not get in better for the Reds, losing the next two games ending the series getting swept.  Another short series was the fourth ranked New York Yankees vs. the Minnesota Twins.  Many people thought this would be a good series but the underdog, the Yankees came out on top still.  This series was a high scoring one but the Twins just could not handle the veteran Yankee team.  As for a closer game, the Tampa Bay Rays played the Texas Rangers in a clutch five games.  The first two games were won by the Rangers, then the next two were clutch come back wins for the Rays making it a 2-2 series.  Then on October 12, game 5 was played and the Rangers took a good solid win with the final score being 5-1.  The last series was the San Fransisco Giants vs. the Atlanta Braves.  The Braves have battled many injuries this year and are not 100 percent.  You could tell in the playoffs. The Braves only got one win out of the whole series, making the Giants ease into the next round.

     There are now four teams left in the MLB playoffs.  The New York Yankees will be playing the Texas Rangers and the Philadelphia Phillies will be taking on the San Fransisco Giants.  This are all clutch games and the best team will come out on top.  Tune in next week on some more playoff baseball updates.

Closer & Closer

     I am back again for some more sports blogging.  To inform you on the Major League Baseball playoff deal.  Sadly the basketball season still has not started!  But is getting closer every single day.
     The Major League Baseball regular season is finally over, but there is still about a month to be played in the playoffs and World Series.  Only four teams from the National League and four from the American League are selected to be in the MLB playoffs.  For the National League, the one seed, the Philadelphia Philies will be taking on the three seed the Cincinnati Reds.  The San Fransisco Giants are at the two seed, taking on the four seed the Atlanta Braves.  This series will be involved in some good pitching.  As for the American League, the Tampa Bay Ray who sunk into first place at the end of the year are listed at one.  The Rays will be taking on the short handed Texas Rangers who are still not 100 percent.  Are you wondering where the hot Yankees went?  They fell apart at the end of the year but are still have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs.  They are in the four seed and are playing the strong Minnesota Twins.  This series will probably be the most exciting of the all because anything can happen.  All of this action will be starting Wednesday, October 6th.

      Finally some NBA news!  The preseason has started for NBA, yesterday the New York Knicks took a win over the over seas team Milano.  The new acquisition of all-star power forward, Amare Stoudemire was great.  He lead the team with 32 points.  As for new acquisitions, the home squad the Chicago Bulls newly signed, former all-star forward Carlos Boozer broke his hand on Saturday and will be out for two months.  This injury will hurt the Bulls and may hurt their playoff chances but you never know.
