There is only one October, and clearly there is only one good league in baseball. The AL from top to bottom, for the most part, is very competitive, but the NL sucks more than Jenna Jameson.
Granted the NL produces stories year in and year out it seems about the under dog, undeserving teams reaching from something more than they deserve. The Rockies were fun to watch beat up on the other chumps of the NL last year, but this year all there is to say is that the Cubs choked again, and Manny just won't go away.
The Dodgers are nice story, but they wouldn't be where they are right now if it was for that dirt bag Manny. Yes, he is a future Hall of Famer, and is the most dominating right handed hitter in all of baseball along with Pujols, Braun, and A-Rod. It still boggles my mind that the Cubs actually pitched to him. Then again, the Dodger youngins came up with clutch hits. I personally thought the Brew Crew were going to do more than just roll over and die against the Fightins but that's why they play the games.
Now we as viewers and sports fans get to see the Dodgers and Phils play for a chance to play in the Fall Classic. Doesn't that grab your interest right off the bat? For me it doesn't, sure the Phils have a Big Papi look-a-like in Ryan Howard, and Chase Utley is one the most underrated players in all of baseball, but I just don't see how any baseball fans can put themselves through watching this series. My prediction is that Hamels shuts them out in game one and start to become apart of the legendary pitchers of post season history because he just has disgusting stuff and the confidence to back it up. From there I still think that the Phils will somehow pull wins out of their ass in one way or the other to send Manny and the Dodgers on an early vacation.
Oh and Hamels has a dime piece of a wife. I now have a new found appreciation for Survior.
