Anal DS

After the events of tonight (no, not the sleep rape), we have added one and lost one. We are talking, of course, about the MLB playoffs. Whether you saw it or not, earlier tonight troubled musical genius and accomplished closer Brian Wilson got Melky Cabrera to ground out to my guy, Juan Uribe for the last out of the NLDS. Giants advance over Braves in Bobby Cox's (Coxeses?) final game before he retires and spends the remainder of his life yelling at cats.
So we've got the Fightin' Phils and the ex-New York Giants vying for a chance to represent the NL in the 2010 Fall Classic. Both teams starters will be well rested. In Game 1 we should see Doc Halladay, who hasn't given up a hit yet in the playoffs against the resurgent phenom, Timmay! Lincecum.

Lincecum is coming off a clutch performance against the Braves in which he K'ed 14 batters in a complete game shutout. Jesus, I thought we were in the Playoffs. Doc and Timmay made it look like they were pitching against babies. Not even regular babies. Crack babies. I'm gonna make a motion that the NLDS should contain at least 2 teams from the American League per year. Who's with me? Shut up, Theo Epstein.
In any event, the NLCS could be a bit more interesting given the pitching matchups. Of course, it is entirely possible that the Phillie sluggers make the Giants pitching staff look like the Pirate's pitching staff. Philly's got as good a lineup as almost any team in the AL and probably the best rotation in the Playoffs. I give the edge to Philly here, but the Giants are capable of some pretty amazing things.
One thing I do know, though, is that whoever gets through from the NL, will be pickings on a platter for the Bombers.

Mmm... That looks good.
