Dodgers Beat Cardinals, Lead 2-0 in NLDS

Chris Singleton and Peter Gammons break down the Rockies' Game 2 win.

Cole Hamels just didn't have it yesterday. Yorvit Torrealba crushed a two run homerun off him that seemed to turn the tide early, and Colorado never looked back. They now head to their ballpark with the series all even.

Chris Singleton and Eric Young talk about how the Matt Holliday error was the turning point for the Dodgers in the ninth inning.

The Cardinals looked like they were going to take Game Two of this series, but the Holliday error led to the blown save by Ryan Franklin. Now the best news for St Louis is that Game Three is at home, but will it be their last game of the 2009 season?
Red Sox-Angels

The Angels pitching dominated. John Lackey was lights-out. The best news for the Red Sox is that Josh Beckett is back, but how is his back? He opposes Jared Weaver tonight in game Two.

Funny Friday: The President Has Game

In a light moment at Thursday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs unveiled a picture of President Obama blocking a shot from his assistant Reggie Love during a basketball game earlier this year.

Game One Victories Broken Down

Karl Ravech and Chris Singleton break down the Phillies Game One Victory.

What a dominating performance by Cliff Lee in his postseason debut. He really did it all for the Phils in their game one victory. Not only did he throw a complete game in his postseason debut, but he also got on base and actually Stole second base! Let's not forget that Cliff Lee had a shutout going until Two outs in the ninth inning! Cliff Lee was Scary Good!
BTW, The Phillies have the 2008 World Series MVP, Cole Hamels, going for them today.

Twins Vs Yankees

Although the Twins managed to scratch across two runs in the first inning, you just got the feeling that the Bronx Bombers would live up to their name, and they did that. Derek Jeter hit a two run game tying homer, and then "Godzilla" Hideki Matsut hit a towering shot to center field that ended up in New Monument Park!
A-Rod brought two runners who were in scoring position around to score, and I just get the feeling that this club may just overpower Minnesota in the ALDS.
Cardinals Vs Dodgers

Chris Carpenter did not show up last night. After Matt Kemp hit the two run homerun, the Dodgers never looked back. They managed to keep Albert Pujols in the ballpark, and Matt Holliday just looked overmatched at the plate in game one. The Cardinals will have to face 22 year old Curveball specialist Clayton Kershaw in Game Two.
Will The Dodgers Sweep an NL Central Team for the second straight season?

The Red Sox and Angels get their first game under way tonight!
