October Beisbol

The New York Yankees made their third straight exit in the first round of the playoffs after losing to the Cleveland Indians last night. And if the "boss" was being honest, the exit may cost Joe Torre his job as the Yankees manager.

This was the only series I predicted right on the nose, with the Indians ending the series in four games. The Indians outplayed the Yankees in every aspect of the game.

Alex Rodriguez may get the most criticism, but the Yankees nation can look at their captain, Derek Jeter, for some answers. Jeter went 3-for-17 in the series, batted into three double plays, and drove in one run.

It makes no difference though. The Indians hit the ball from top-to-bottom in the lineup, and their pitchers kept the Yankees offense at bay.

League championship series predictions to come.

In other baseball news... I am a little late on this one, but thought it was pretty nuts.

A Cubs fan decided to hang a goat carcass from the Harry Caray statue at Wrigley Field in an attempt to rally the Cubs in the NLDS. (Youtube is not allowing to embed the video, so its the link.)

It obviously did not work and am rooting big time for the Cubs to win it all in 2008. If that happens it would be their first World Series title in 100 years.

R.I.P Angels. Hey TBS, Fox, ESPN and every East Coast bias medium out there, you got your wish! The Red Sox made it to the ALCS.
