4 Phillies, 0 Reds

Good thing John Lackey is just as good as this guy or I would be pissed. Roy Halladay just really shut the mouth of his critics who questioned how he was going to do in the playoffs seeing this is his first time out there. Halladay threw the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL Division Series on Wednesday. Unlike many other no-hitters this was a no doubter, there was no drama, no great plays that needed to be made, just Roy and the catcher playing catch all day. What really got me was why the Reds were taking the first pitch seeing how he was starting out 0 and 1 80% of the game. Roy Halladay is one of my favorite pitchers and guys who I respect the most. Anyways, stick a fork in the Reds, no one can overcome the major cockslap that was just done on them.

5 Rangers, 1 Tampa Bay
The guy who was traded for Roy Halladay didn't have a shabby game either. Cliff Lee threw 7 innings allowing 5 hits, 1 run and striking out 10. He completely owned this Rays offense and put the Rangers in a great position to win the series is CJ Wilson can do what he did during the regular season. Meanwhile, Cy Young candidate David Price had a first game that left something to be desired. He pitch 6.2 innings let up 5 runs (4 earned) and struck out 8. It's a shame because with James Shields pitching crappy and Matt Garza being inconsistent the Rays could be in a bit of trouble.

6 Yankees, 4 Twins

I went to bed when the Twins were up 3-0 and seemed to have this game in hand and then I woke up to get reminded by my Yankee fan gf that the Yankees won 6-4. Sweet way to start your day.
