Josh Hamilton was named the A.L.C.S. MVP
Lefty swinging CF Josh Hamilton was named the MVP of the American League Championship Series last night. He earned it by playing in six games in which he was 7 for 20 (.350 avg, 1.536 OPS) with 6 runs scored, 4 homers, 7 RBIs and 3 stolen bases. Hamilton also walked 8 times in this series as the Yankees seemed scared of him. Although Hamilton deserved the award I think righty starting pitcher Colby Lewis could also have won it. He started 2 games against the Yankees in this series and he was 1-0 with a 1.98 ERA and a 1.10 WHIP.
I am a lifelong Phillies fan. It has been a great run for us (we still have everyone but Werth next year). Unfortunately, our bats did not show up against a garbage team. I hope (and I know you will) kill the Giants. All of Philadelphia is rooting for Cliff Lee (because we obviously loved him) and I am personally rooting for Nolan Ryan and you as fans.
P.S. You look like the Phils in 2008, timely hitting, timely defense = World Series.
