The Sweep

Posted on: October 12, 2009 by admin No Comments

With the 2009 MLB playoffs well under way, in the AL alone two teams were swept. The Yankees swept the Twins and the Angels swept the Red Sox. Rarely during the season would these two teams have been swept. They went into the series with the bullpens loaded and ready. Unfortunately it was not enough to even muster up 1 win. Check out this article…

I thought about it some, and really wondered how such good teams could get swept. I truly think part of it comes when they are down two games to none.

At that point they know the odds are against them for a come back. It is almost as, well, like they are trying too hard. But the biggest blow to them comes from the other dugout. When you’re up two games to none, you have momentum. It is hard to stop a team when they have that much momentum going forward with them.

Either way it is tough for the fans of the teams being swept. You get that high that your team is in. You scatter around looking for great deals on playoff tickets and hope that you’ll be at one of the World Series games only to have your team blown away in three games. Oh well, there is always next year.

The 2009 MLB Playoffs Are Here

For the avid baseball fan, the balance between regular life and baseball is a tough thing to balance. Now that all the regular season games are over and the playoffs have started, deciding what games to watch and how many can be tough. For some fans who don’t care whether their favorite team made it or not, the MLB playoffs are exciting to watch no matter who is playing and when.

For the past several years though the numbers of viewers who watch the games have sunk to all time lows. The World Series used to be a big thing to watch. It seems that the interest in baseball with the younger generations have faded though. The MLB may need to consider making some changes to entice young viewers to watch the game. For many the games and the season can be too long and tedious. For some of us though it is hard to break traditions. An argument can be made that making changes to the game or season could kill it.

Whatever your opinion is, the coming of fall and the MLB playoff season can be a very exciting time. Here is a recap on the 2009 MLB Playoff season! Remember to have fun and enjoy! Enjoy this great article on the playoffs!
