Congrats to the Giants on defeating the Phillies, winning the National League Championship and moving on to face the Rangers in the World Series. When this post season started, my main wish was to not see a New York Yankees / Philadelphia Phillies World Series. I would of settled for either team making it to […]

A day or two ago, both teams that I hate were looking at a 3-1 deficit in their respective Championship Series, and both teams have managed to pull themselves up by the bootstraps to force at least a game 6. Wednesday CC Sabathia and the Yanks did it against the Rangers, and last night Doc […]

Apparently I have much more success rooting for teams that I don’t really root for than I do rooting for my own team. Yesterday was another great day for those of us hoping to not see a replay of last years World Series. The Rangers continued to absolutely dominate the Yankees. 4 more homers in […]

I was thinking that the Rangers might win last night, but I really wasn’t expecting that particular outcome. I almost feel bad for Andy Pettitte. I mean, outside of that mistake pitch in the 1st to Josh Hamilton he pitched really, really well. I guess too bad for him that Clifford Lee pitched really, really, […]

It was a pretty exciting sports weekend at the SlangKo Corporate Headquarters. The Rangers beat the Yankees on Saturday after they should have beat them on Friday as well. The Giants beat the Phillies ace in Philadelphia, leaving Citizens Bank Park with the Series at 1-1 after facing the 2 Roys. The other Giants hung […]

On we march into the second round of the playoffs. I can’t say I saw too many surprises in the outcome. Although, I will admit that I thought that the Braves would’ve made a better showing against the Giants. I really thought that they had the better team. I guess the San Francisco pitching and […]

So today starts the 2010 Major League Baseball Postseason. Some of you may be shocked to learn that my beloved Mets did not make the cut this year. Yeah. I know. Crazy, isn’t it? Anyway, despite not having my team in the mix to root for, I still always love watching the playoffs and the […]
