We have plenty to talk about on today’s show.  Both AL series will be played tonight so we’ll break those down as well as look back to yesterday’s games with the big story taking place at Dodger Stadium.

It’s going to be very tough now for the Cardinals to come back and beat the Dodgers being down 0-2 and losing both of the games Carpenter and Wainwright pitched.  It should be 1-1 and then you’d like the Cardinals chances of possibly winning this series.  If they don’t come back and win it’s going to be a long off-season for Matt Holliday.  There are a few reasons as to why he didn’t catch that ball yesterday.  It could have been the white towels, the lights or the time of day, but when he didn’t make the catch it started to unravel for St. Louis and they may not be able to recover.

Yankees-Twins will be interesting to watch tonight.  Joe Girardi has given A.J. Burnett his wish as Jose Molina will be his catcher.  Will this work for Girardi or backfire?  It’s important to make your pitcher comfortable so I think he’s making the right decision here.  We’ll find out. 

After Yankees-Twins tonight we’ll have Angels-Red Sox as LA looks to go up 2-0.  The Angels haven’t been able to beat the Red Sox in the postseason in recent years, but this may be the year they get it done.  They’re as healthy as they’ve ever been, while the Red Sox are not.  We’ll have to see which Josh Beckett shows up tonight.

We’re on at 5 tonight and then we’ll be on after both game so make sure you tune into MLB Nework all postseason.-Dan Plesac
