Top Ten NLCS and ALCS Takeaways

10) It's good that the Giants and Phillies aren't starting Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay three times, since neither has been all that great

9) The Yankees would feel a lot better about their comeback chances if they could sign Cliff Lee now, rather than in a few months

8) Jayson Werth is making himself a ridiculous amount of money, which means he'll finally be able to buy a razor

7) It's good that the ALCS is going back to Texas, since when the games are played there, people are actually in the front row seats

6) This Buster Posey kid is going to be really good once his voice changes

5) The Rangers are just a win away from their first World Series appearance in the fifty year history of the franchise, and the Giants have not won it in 52 years on the West Coast, but Cub Fans have had it much, much more rough (just ask them)

4) Giants Fan is just a big old ball of positive thinking right about now, since their history is just filled with positive post-season memories

3) Bud Selig is more than a little thrilled that the series are going to go long, and that we're not necessarily doomed to Rangers-Giants

2) Ryan Howard still hasn't driven in a run in this series, so his .400 OBP and .471 SLG means nothing, and the 2-3 series deficit is all his fault

1) The Giants might have already won this series if they could just stop kicking the ball around and being fat tubs of goo
