Ed had a post about the same thing and Stank-0 dismissed it out of hand. Stank-0 is not a fan of MLB, it could be because his team the Royals, haven't been in contention in a long time. The Royals won the World Series when Stank-0 was a wee lad of 4, in 1985.
So Stank-0 was ready to disregard the MLB playoffs until he saw the virtuoso performance of a one Harry Leroy Halladay.
The team he played for from 1998 to 2009
Halladay threw only the second no-hitter in postseason history, the first since 1956. The first was thrown by Don Larsen for the New York Yankees. This was also his first time pitching in the postseason and it was a masterpiece. All his stuff was working to perfection. Halladay was in a zone. During the 9th inning, Stank-0 could have sworn that Halladay wasn't hearing the crowd at all. Citizen's Bank Park was in a fever pitch as well.
It was a helluva opening act for the MLB postseason and Stank-0 will be there the rest of the way. It could be the Phillies with their H2O (Halladay, Hamels, Oswalt) against the Yankees bullpen to meet in the World Series, again.
