Posted in Baseball, Baseball History, MLB, Yankee History, Yankees, tagged on October 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

For the most part, the “Year of the Pitcher” has carried over to October. Only two games into the post season, Roy Halladay had thrown a no hitter and Tim Lincecum shut down the Braves with a 14 strikeout, two-hit performance. Based on game score, both efforts ranked among the five best October pitching performances ever, but […]

NLCS Preview: Plenty of Pitching Should Make for a Close Series; Phils to Repeat as NL Champs, but Series Will Go the Distance

The hype surrounding the game one matchup between two-time defending Cy Young Tim Lincecum and likely-to-be 2010 Cy Young Roy Halladay has been so intense that is easy to forget the NLCS is actually a seven game series.

Texas-Sized Comeback; Yankees Make History By Rallying to Win ALCS Opener

Tonight’s ALCS opens deep in the heart of Texas, and the Rangers will be looking to settle the score for three recent postseason eliminations suffered at the hands of the Yankees. Even though the storyline seems similar to the just completed ALDS against the Twins, the challenge facing the Yankees this time around should be […]
