This Great Game You think it'd be a Yankee who at this point would say, "I can't wait for (the World Series) to end." But no, it was Philadelphia's Cole Hamels, last year's postseason hero who has struggled badly this Fall. Not exactly the kind of confidence you're hoping for from a likely Game Seven starter, but the way the Yankees a...re playing, Hamels won't have to wait much longer before it all does end.

This Great Game The Bandbox Series is here with the Yankees and Phillies showing off two remarkably similar rosters: A stellar top-to-bottom lineup loaded with left-handed power, an ace in his prime amid a shaky rotation and an even shakier bullpen, and a ballpark conducive to lively hitting. Who do you think will win (besides the over)?
This Great Game If the umpires working the postseason are considered MLB's best, God help us.

This Great Game For the record: After Game Two of the ALDS between New York and Minnesota, Joe Nathan now has a career 8.59 ERA in five postseason appearances with two losses and two blown saves. Nathan's opposite number, Mariano Rivera, has appeared in 78 postseason games—and has a 0.77 ERA.
This Great Game That cry of "Ugh!" amid the raging cheers of Dodger fans after Matt Holliday's dropped should-have-been third out in Game Two was from his agent, Scott Boras; that'll shave a million or two bucks off his next contract...
This Great Game We know it’s a long-held tradition at Chavez Ravine, but would it kill Dodger fans to, during a playoff game at least, resist the urge to go home in the seventh inning? The number of empty mustard-colored seats that grew in number late in a close Game One of the NLDS had to offend the most loyal of Dodger fans.
