It's my Dad's birthday. I just have to say that because it's awesome. He's great. I thank God for him. :)
Anyway, the Rangers are currently up 7-2 on the Yankees in the sixth inning, which is great for them BUT it would be way better if they hadn't blown a 5-0 lead in 8th last night in Game One. They got to C.C. Sabathia early, Josh Hamilton and Michael Young got big hits, C.J. Wilson pitched well enough to make everyone okay with Cliff Lee's not being able to start 'till Game Three, then the bottom fell out. Derek Jeter and A-Rod got the big hits, shocking the Rangers, Nolan Ryan, and the Texas crowd, in what was easily the most devastating loss in Texas baseball history. They went down 6-5, shut out after the fourth inning.
But, yeah, they're winning right now. It would, of course, be wonderful to win today and tie the series, especially with Cliff Lee pitching the next game, giving them a great chance to go up 2-1, but we can only dream of a potential 2-0 lead today, and Lee pitching to give them a potential 3-0. No, I won't even talk about it.
I work early tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to watch all of the Giants-Phillies' first game tonight, but I'm pumped. Tim Lincecum vs. Roy Halladay. The Freak vs Doc. 2009 (and 2008) CY Young winner against the likely 2010 winner. Two hits, 14 strikeouts, no walks (in Lincecum's postseason debut against the Braves last week) vs no-hitter, just one walk (in Halladay's postseason debut against the Reds last week). It'll be great.
