It is always a great start to the day for me when Jen and I agree.

Philly lost game #3 today by a 3-0 score. Their offense has been pretty cold in two of the three games.

Currently the Yankees and Texas are tied 1-1 in game #4. A Berkman homerun was taken back and he ended up striking out, and a Cano homerun in which the Texas outfielder was possibly fan-interfered with counted. I did not see the play so I do not know if it was a homerun or not.

Burnett is beginning to unravel, hence the game now being tied.

Oops! As I am typing this(too lazy to fix it) the Rangers scored another. It is now 2-1 Texas.

The fan definitely interfered, but Nelson would not have made the catch ... although I'm sure he felt as if he was going to be a video highlight for the ages.

A fan also interfered with Gardner catching a fly ball in the stands down the left field line. Fortunately for the Yankees, it didn't turn out to be a catastrophe, as when other scumbags (oops, sorry, I shifted into the local dialect for "Yankees fans") have done so.

Thankfully both of those plays did not play a factor in the outcome of the game.

Texas took apart the Yankee bullpen again, scoring 5 runs off them in the process. And Burnett had that one bad pitch to Molina and that cost the Yankees the game. Good! I am also glad the Texas bullpen did NOT blow the game again(although with the 3 walks in the bottom of the 8th inning, I will admit that I was more than a little worried).

A 10-3 victory for Texas and now they are one victory away from going to their first ever World Series(and I think the Yankees will choke).

It looks like Mark Teixteira is done for the playoffs. He was 0 for the entire ALCS so they won't miss him on offense, but he is a pretty good fielding first baseman.

Damn. Bad loss. But Cain did pitch a good game. And yes, where has the Phillies offence gone?

For tomorrow's Game 4, I can't believe that Phillies' starter Joe Blanton is going into the game without a start since 24th Sept, and he hasn't pitched since a bit of relief on 3rd October. Well rested or rusty?

I'm so happy the NYY lost.. Though those fans messing with that play was insane! The fat kid was hitting away his glove

But for 1 inning, the Rangers would have already swept the Yankees!
