ALDS MVP:
Placido Polanco
Both Sean Casey and Carlos Guillen we deserving, but I think Polanco was the catalyst. What Craig Monroe lacked at the plate, he made up in defense, especially today.
Watching that celebration today was absolutely awesome. I will be keeping that game and postgame on my DVR for some time. Next up are the Oakland A’s. It’s a rematch of the 1972 LCS that Oakland won in five. Tuesday night’s game features Barry Zito against Nate Robertson.
