This Great Game Congrats to the New York Yankees and the over, co-champions of baseball by each taking four games out of six.

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.Read More

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.

The current edition of the Weekly Comebacker has a special feature on baseball's most overrated players (no, Derek Jeter is NOT one of them). Check it out now at http://www.thisgreatgame.com/comebacker.
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.
This Great Game The world will know the name Kershaw after Thursday. Mark my word. His stuff is cheese-like and if he can get the ball over the plate, he's unhittable.
This Great Game I'm picking the Yankees to win it all. They have a ton of hitting and just enough pitching to get there and close the deal!

Detroit area police acknowledged that Detroit Tiger star Miguel Cabrera, after an all-night bout of drinking—his blood alcohol content was 0.26, or triple the legal level—came home early Saturday morning to an angry wife that led to a confrontation over a cell phone. Police took Cabrera to a station where he was "uncoo...perative" and "incoherent," but was not arrested because his wife refused to press charges.Read More
