Yeah, I think in baseball terms, Phils and Yanks would be the best option...

Ratings wise, probably Dodgers and Yankees...

Besides being the top markets you would have the Yankees taking on Torre and Manny taking on the Yankees again... but the Dodgers are done. They just picked a bad time to start playing poorly.

They're not done yet. Hamels has been somewhat erratic on the mound, and if the Dodgers can get this back to LA, they have a chance.

Too bad "Double Cheese", "Black Sabbathia", didn't pitch like this when the Indians were in the playoffs two years ago!

I think what you meant to say is too bad The Indians Manager ran him out there too many times for too many innings down the strectch. Including 3 starts on 3 days rest to end the season and then pitching game 1 of the play offs on 3 days rest. The Yanks wrapped it up early and Girardi was yanking CC in the 5th for his last few regular starts.

He didn't pitch well in the playoffs w/the Brewers last year either.

Must be that extra cash George gave him.

This is some of the worst called baseball i've seen in the Angels/Yanks series.. Bad calls both ways and some are obvious to the blind.

Last night made a great case for replay. Just get it right.

The umpiring has been atrocious, but I am NOT a fan of instant replay. The human element is part of the beauty of baseball.

I think MLB should institute a replay system similar to the NFL. Give each manager a challenge flag and mandate that the replay must contain indisputable proof to overturn the call.

The umpiring this post-season has been horrendous.

I think the idea of a couple of manager's challenges is a good idea. I give that 3rd base umpire credit, though, because he did a press conference after the game and explained his calls in those situations (he "manned up"). Its easy to see on replay after replay that he was wrong, but when you only get one chance to see it, at live speed, it's a lot harder to see some of these things.

Props to the Phils. Too many big bats. If the Angels loose I will be rooting for the Phillies.

Great game tonight! That was baseball at its finest! Glad to sse the Angels get another win, although I still think the Spank-mes are going to win the AL.

I cannot see the Yankees choking this series away, but the longer they give LA hope, the harder its gonna get to close it out. No disrespect to the Angels, but I really, really want a Yankees/Phillies WS.

See I am on the opposite side of the fence and I hoping that the Yankess choke this series away. Year in and Year out they try to buy a team by spending bookoos (spelling) of money. I think they need to have a cap and make the Yankess play within the lowest salaried team in the country and they can't pay a penality to get out of it. I loved in when the Marlins and the D-backs beat them that was priceless. I was pulling for a Dodgers/Red Sox Series, but now that that is gone. My hope lies with the Angels. If they lose, I won't even watch the series. Hate both teams with a great passion.
