Game 6 of the ALCS is scheduled for 7:57 PM tonight, but apparently, rain is falling in NYC. Guess miracle and misfortune come hand in hand (Game 2 was supposed to be rained out, but was played in its entirety last Saturday night).
If this game does get underway, it's going to be Andy Pettitte vs. Joe Saunders. Odds would favour Pettitte, who is the all time winner during the postseason, whereas Saunders is young, inexperienced, and susceptible to the big game jitters. Nonetheless, Saunders has shined this October, posting an ERA of 2.57 (2 points lower than Pettitte). So, it should be an interesting match up.
We've seen some nailbiters in this series. Remember Game 2, when the Yanks walked off in the bottom of the 13th, after about 5 hours of play? Remember Game 3, when it was the Angels who walked off in extras? And remember Game 6 a couple nights ago, when Brian Fuentes walked the bases loaded with two outs and up a run, and finally popped Nick Swisher up on a 3-2 count? Now that's what I love about October baseball!!
Personally, I think the Yankees will take this series. The Angels will NOT win 2 straight on visitor's turf, especially when that turf is Yankee Stadium. As for the World Series, I still think the Yankees will win over the Phillies. But if I could wish for anything in the world, I would wish for a Phillies win. I'm not a Yankees-hater or anything, but I like the Phillies better.
Leafs are still dead last in the entire NHL with 0 wins and just 1 point overall. And I thought the Jays were depressing this season...
Raptors start play on Wednesday. They finished up with a 2-6 record, but it'll be interesting to see how the nagging injuries play out when the season starts. I think they've got a great shot at the playoffs if they stay healthy.
