Good morning, Camden Chatters.
If you can stomach watching postseason baseball after the Orioles’ untimely elimination — and nobody would blame you if you can’t — the two League Championship Series delivered a couple of tense, hard-fought games last night. That included the opener of the NLCS in Philadelphia, in which the Phillies continued to mash dingers in a 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
In the ALCS, meanwhile, the apparently unstoppable Texas Rangers continue to dominate all comers, winning in Houston for the second straight night to take a 2-0 series lead home to Arlington. The Rangers are looking like a team of destiny right now, or at least a club that got scalding hot at exactly the right time.
