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.
