Last Year, the Phillies beat the Dodgers in the NLCS in five games to win a trip to the World Series. They would go on to win the Series and make the city of Brotherly Love proud. A year has gone by and nothing has changed. The Phillies beat the Dodgers today in game 5 of the NLCS with a final score of 10-4. The Phillies are once again the NL champs for the second year in a row. It seems like the Dodgers' starters were just being beaten early in almost every game. Their Bullpen didn't hold up the fort either in this series.
Now the question for the Phillies is this: Can they repeat as World Series Champions? The answer is no. The Yankees in the meanwhile are ahead 3-1 in the ALCS over the Angels. They practically have this series in the bag (regrettably). A-Rod has finally overcome his yips in the playoffs and is just on a tear. Meanwhile CC Sabathia is pitching on the money right now and almost impossible to beat. The Phillies have the batters but they just don't have the best pitching match ups to win this year. I still think the Yankees are going to win it all.
P.S. Angels please start seeing some wings. I need a miracle.
