As both League Championship Series head toward classic status, it’s time to take a look at the players who have made these 10 games so amazing with their awe-inspiring performances.

There’s only one thing Larry and Ben could be talking about this week — the first four games of the American League Championship Series.

Behind Beltran, Berkman and Lidge, the Astros tied the NLCS up at two games apiece.

A line drive to center and a long drive to right extended the ALCS another day, and gave the dejected Boston faithful something to cheer about. Can they do it again? And again? And again?

Here’s one Yankees fan who’s tired of the C-word. Larry Mahnken tells us how the Red Sox went down 3-0, and dismisses the easy explanation.

After a 45-minute rain delay, the Cardinals took Game 2 behind back-to-back homers on a sloppy night of baseball.

Behind 10 runs on a dozen hits, the Cardinals took a 1-0 NLCS lead over the Astros.

Eventually, every son will rise up and best his father. For Pedro Martinez, last night was not his time, as Jon Lieber exceeded expectations and dominated the Red Sox. Now the question must be asked… is this series over?

What was at first a Yankees blowout and a chance at history turned into a near-miracle comeback, a message that the ALCS is going to be very closely fought, and a very entertaining baseball series.
