Playoff ball

A DVR malfunction in the Brooks household resulted in your correspondent missing the bulk of the drubbing his beloved Red Sox put on the Angels today. So I can't offer any real comment other than to say Mike Timlin has been a postseason machine.

Stephen, say what you will about percentages, but wow, the Cardinals are stacked.

The Yankees were not expected to beat Santana today, but given that their next three starters will be John Lieber, a still-injured Kevin Brown, and a questionable Orlando Hernandez, they could be in trouble. Still, I'll never count out the Yankees.

I must admit I was impressed by Gary Sheffield's ESPN interview, taking a very sensible stand against the players union on drug testing.

The human story of the playoffs so far is Jacques Jones, losing his father, planning to attend a funeral between playoff games, and hitting a home run in Game 1.

Torii Hunter is some kind of Superman in the outfield. Unbelievable.
