Playoffs

October 15, 2009 at 2:22 pm · Filed under

The one thing that I’ve noticed about this season, is that it was a dissapointment. Giants blew it at the last minute, dodgers made it to the playoffs and swept the cards in the first round of the playoffs, and that I have to wait another whole year for the season to start.

But there are some things that I’m looking forward to. And thats, who made the cy young award. I’m curious to see if its giants Tim Lincecum, or Cardinals Adam Wainright. It would really be something if Tim won for the second year in a row. He lead baseball in strikeouts for the second year in a row. I think he seserves some kind of an award. If not, big deal. There’s always next year.

Thats what Giants fans all around have been saying for the past five years. People kept thinking that they might make the playoffs again after the playoffs in 02. But they haven’t made the playoffs since.
The only problem that the Giants had this year, was there offense. They’re offense was the worst in baseball without question. But they’re pitching on the other hand was great. They had too many one run ball games, or two run ball games.

They had a new bat join the team though, and it was someone unexpected. People already knew he could field, but no one knew he could hit! Pablo Sandavol. The Giants third baseman. Well, he can play all over the field really. He can play third, catcher, and first base. He played first base around the end of the season cause he was injured some how.
He had more than twenty home runs this year. I remember wating a game on tv with the brewers and giants. Pablo hit two home runs in the game alone.
Everyone said that the brewers pitching stunk. And that anyone can hit two home runs in a game against that team. If that’s true, why didn’t anyone do it often?

Over the year pablo became well known by many people. And he developed a nickname for himself. Panda.
I still haven’t discovered why people call him that. Maybe they just call him that cause he looks like a panda.
Maybe they call him that cause his uncle’s a panda. I have no clue. But I know one thing for sure. He’s something big for the giants. And they need to keep him.

Well the playoffs are coming to a close. Now there are only four teams left in the playoffs. In the NL, its the phillies, and the dodgers. In the AL its the yankees, and the angels. Now on the NL, I’m going for the phillies. Mainly because I hate the dodgers. In the AL I’m going for the angels. Mainly because I hate the yankees. I hate the angels too. But not as much as the yankees.

You moght be wondering why I hate the angels. Well because of the 2002 world series. The angels brought out the rally monkey. Which is a good luck charm for the angels. When its late in a game, they bring it out. And the crowd goes nuts.

5 Best World Series Games

October 13, 2009 at 3:56 pm · Filed under

My first pick, was the 2001 world series with the D-backs, and the yankees. Many call it the best world series of all time. I thought it was pretty entertaining. Pretty intense too. No doubt about it though, it was like something out of a movie. Another great thing about it, was how the series went into november.
Baseball only goes to mid, or late october. In the series, the named Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter Mr. November.
The sries started out with the D-backs winning two straight games. Then the yankees came back and won three in a row. Then The D-backs tied it in the next game, and went on to game seven of the world series.
Pitching for the yankees was the Rocket. ( Roger Clemens )
And pitching for the D-backs was Curt Schilling. Both players had an amazing season.
The final score of the game, was 3-2 D-Backs.

My second pick was a world series with my all time favorite team. The Giants. They made the playoffs as a wild card team, and ended up facing the angels.
They didn’t win the world series, but it was entertaining.

Giants and Angels World Series 2002

My third choice was the ALDS game in 1999 with the red sox and indians. In game five of this series, it was a tie game. Pedro Martinez was supposed to start, but didn’t cause of his back. So both teams were hitting at will. The Red sox manager had enough. He put Pedro in the bullpen. Later they brought Pedro into the game. Working six scorless, and hitless innings. Final score, 12-8 Red Sox
Sorry to say, I couldn’t manage to find a video clip of this game.

My fourth choice was, the 2006 world series with the cards, and the tigers. It was a great world series cause, both teams hadn’t made it to the world series in a while. And if either team won, it would have been a celabration. The year before, the tigers lost more than a hundred games ina season! So it was great for that team. It was great for the cards too. Cause I like the cards. I wanted them to win. And sure enough, they did.

My fifth and final decision was, the 2004 world series with the red sox and cardinals. It was amazing to see the red sox come to the world series, and win it. And to see them break the curse. It was intense.
Sadly, I couldn’t find a video for this one either. I tried my best. So I’ll leave you with this…..

Baseball Surprise
