This year's MLB post-season has had its ups and downs, and no one is more of a testament to this than Vladimir Guerrero. The Angels' right fielder has seen a decline in numbers in recent years, but last night's game proved he still has something left in the tank. The Angels have played sub-par baseball thus far, having fallen behind the strong New York Yankees 2-0. And the craziness of this year's ALCS is one for the ages. Game 3 was no different. Game 3 lasted 4 hours and 30 minutes and saw the appearance of 14 pitchers, 6 homeruns and several key errors. This was the second extra inning game of the series, which saw the Bombers win Game 2 in dramatic fashion in the bottom of the 13th on Saturday night. Vladi's homer helped the Angels jump back from a 3-0 and the game was eventually tied 4-4 going into the 11th. Then came backup catcher Jeff Mathis, who hit a dinger to push the Angels to a 5-4 victory. The series resumes in Anaheim, tonight at 7:57pm, Eastern Time.
The NLCS game 3 between the Dodgers and the Phillies had its own fireworks. The Phillies, last year's champs, moved one step closer to going to the Big Show 2010. The Phillies were one out from defeat until Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run double with two out in the ninth to rally the Phillies to a 5-4 victory over the Dodgers. The Dodgers are now on their heels and are facing possible elimination without putting up much of a fight. All-Star slugger Manny Ramirez has been all but quiet this post-season. The series continues on Wednesday, at 8:07pm, in Philadelphia.
