One Down, One To Go

The Giants defeated the Phillies 3-0 today, giving them a 2-1 advantage in the NLCS.  The Phillies are looking to win their third consecutive National League Pennant, while the Giants are looking to go to the World Series for the first time since 2002, when they lost to the then-Anaheim Angels in seven games.

While not a fan of the club that once upon a time inhabited the Polo Grounds, I am indifferent towards them.  At the same time, I hate the Phillies more than any other club save one: the Evil Empire a.k.a. the New York Yankees.

The Yankees and Rangers play in an hour, and I'm hoping to see Texas take a commanding three games to one lead over the Yankees with one game left to play in New York after that, and potentially two more to play in Arlington.  Obviously, I'm hoping that the Rangers make that unnecessary and simply close out the series in New York.
