MLB Postseason taking unexpected Twists and Turns

Kenny Lofton had four RBI's in the Indians victory over the Yankees.

Through the first two games of the NLDS and the opening games of the ALDS, there have been some suprises. Arizona and their youngsters are one game away from going to the National League Championship Series, as they have tamed the Cubs offense to a dull roar through the first two games. Colorado Rockies as well are one game away from eliminating their opponent, the Philladelphia Phillies. Ryan Howard's homerun wasn't enough to overcome Kaz Matsui's Grand Slam in Game Two, as Colorado beat Philly by the score of 10 to 5.

Here's my analysis of the respective series.
NLDS: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks
Wow. How about the Arizona Diamondbacks. It seems like The "Fountain Of Youth" has been found. It's is Arizona, buried underneath Chase Field. The Diamondbacks players are young, most are only about 25 years old, and they are one game away from eliminating the $300 Million ballclub that has suffered for 99 (and possibly coming up on 100) years without a World Series Ring. The only good thing for the Cubs is that their next two games are at home. The Wrigley Crowd will be rocking, trying to modivate the Cubbies to fight to win three in a row to advance to the National League Championship Series. Rich Hill gets the ball for the Cubs in the all important game three, and he will be opposed by the former Montreal Expo Livan Hernandez. I hope the Cubs fight to pull even and win this thing, but I don't think it's going to happen.

NLDS: Rockies vs Phillies
The "Fountain of Youth" has also been found in Rocky Mountain High Coors Field in Denver Colorado. Rockies Superphenom Troy Tulowitski has been on a tear offensively and defensicely. Tulowitski and Todd Helton are the two reasons the Phillies are dead in this series. It would be good October baseball for them to come back, but I don't see that happening.

ALDS: Red Sox vs. Angels
Vlad Guererro has been hurt, and the Angels production has hurt without him. The loss of gary Matthews Jr. was the big reasdon why this team was doomed coming into this series. Daisuke Mastuzaka will make his postseason debut for the Red Sox in Game Three, where the Red Sox can sweep the Angels and move on to the American League Championship Series.

ALDS: Yankees at Indians
Derek Jeter went 0-4 in the Yankees loss to the Indians, but of course, the talk will be how Alex Rodriguez went hitless in what may be his final season with The New York Yankees. Chien Mien Wang did not have his good stuff in that game. I lost count how many homeruns were hit in that game. Cleveland Sports Fans will make a huge deal about LeBron James wearing a Yankee cap in Cleveland, but Red Sox Natrion has that same thing to be said to Tom Brady, a self-professed Yankee fan.

October Baseball is in full swing and you can catch all of it on TBS.
