Baseball Playoffs

Wow, did the Phillies put the hammer down or what? They went by the Braves like a rocket and don't look now but all 3 of their prime starters are pitching well. They are the best team in either league and if I was a Philly fan I would be extremely disappointed not to win it all with this team. Halladay and Oswalt get a real shot at glory with plenty of offense behind them. Yankees look really vulnerable after Sabathia. The Rangers did not win a game at either NY or Tampa all year.

I've seen several references to moving Hamilton to 1st base next year to protect him from all the injuries. I might do it in order to get 600 at bats from him, but it would truly be a shame because his speed, instincts, and cannon arm all scream center fielder. But, if it's the difference between getting 120 games out of him versus 150, it makes sense. He's reckless and fragile in the outfield, a very bad combination.

I was amazed at the Phillies Staff. Haladay will win the Cy Young and be the 3rd best pitcher on the team the last 2 months.

Hamilton at first makes me sick. I understand the reason, but I cannot stand missing that arm and speed.
