The MLB Postseason has been thrilling and is proving to be one of the most fun things to watch. From catches against the wall, to walk-off homers, this Postseason has had it all. There was a thriller last night between the Orioles and Yankees that came down to a Raúl Ibanez homer to seal the deal. Ibanez came into pinch hit for Alex Rodriguez in the 9th with the Yanks down 1 and nobody on base. Joe Girardi made one of the gutsiest sports moves you will see this whole year. A-Rod has been playing terribly in the last few games and is not performing like the A-Rod of old. Ibanez came in and lit up the crowd at Yankee Stadium. First, he jacked a homer to tie the game up in the bottom of the 9th. Then, Ibanez comes up again in the 12th where he finished Baltimore off with a home run to deep right.
Ibanez isn't the only player with a walk-off this Postseason. Earlier today Jayson Werth nailed a walk-off to keep the city of Washington's hopes alive. The Nats beat the Cardinals 2-1 in a pitcher's duel. The deciding game will be tomorrow with NL Cy Young candidate Gio Gonzalez pitching for the Nationals against Adam Wainwright who is on the mound for St. Louis.
The Giants are the first team to clinch a spot in the NLCS or ALCS with their 6-4 win over the Reds today. The Giants came back from losing their first two games at AT&T Park. San Francisco came back with three straight wins in Cincy. Buster Posey lead the Giants today with a grand slam. The Reds crawled back into, but failed to take the lead with two men on in the bottom of the 9th. There has just been so much chaos this Postseason. I am loving October!
