On the Eve of the 2018 World Series

With the postseason air crisp with nail-biting games, the teams are vigorously fighting for a spot in the 2018 World Series.

The Brewers made quick easy work of the Rockies sweeping them 3 games to none, no real action there.  In the other NLDS, the Braves put as much of a fight as they can against the literal powerhouse Dodgers, killing them 3-1.

Before the DSs started, I thought Francisco Lindor and the Indians would put up a fight against the ‘Stros, then they got destroyed 3-0, didn’t even try to try.

Then there was a legendary DS, Yankees vs. Red Sox, rivals for as long as time. The Sox were coming in with high hopes and a lot of confidence as they both put their aces out there and the Red Sox came out on top, next game the underdogs went out and beat the Sox. The Sox then went into beast mode and routed the Yanks, 16-1. Next game just to wrap it up in a nice gold ribbon, the Boston Red Sox won with a humble score of 4 to 3. The Red Sox could not be stopped, mowing through the Astros 4-1, with Jackie Bradley Jr. going full-on MVP, with 9 RBI in the whole CS.

With the great series of Dodgers and Brewers going into Game 7, they had a power-packed series. Through the first 4 games, it looked pretty even, with the last game going into 13 innings, whew! Then the Dodgers won a game, and it looked as if it was over, then, on their last breaths, the Crew got even. The Dodgers won a wild one which looked like it was in the Brewers’ favor since the Christian Yelich homer, then 5 of 5 of the Dodgers runs were scored via the homer.

See you on Tuesday when the 2018 World Series starts between the Red Sox and Dodgers – it’s going to be power packed and really electric. 

We’re in the Postseason

With the postseason already started, we have some very interesting games coming up. Yanks vs A’s was a game that was kind of lopsided the whole time.  Aaron Judge started the slugging with a first-inning two-run dinger against the inexperienced Liam Hendricks. I don’t what the A’s manager Bob Melvin was thinking before the game, maybe he was daydreaming, I really don’t know about starting the rook.

Then the bombers exploded, with 4 runs in the 6^th and Luke Voit tripled? Wait, whaaaaa? Must’ve been a few three-year-olds out there and maybe a five-year-old out in right. But then the homer leader hit another homer and gave the A’s the only runs that they got the whole game.

Then there was a Stantonian Blast, and that closed the doors with an iron lock.

The NL side wasn’t that much of a blowout. It was 1-0 with the Rockies in the lead until Javy “El Mago” Baez doubled home Terrance Gore and that put the Cubs karma in fifth gear that lasted them up until the 13^th,  no typo, actually the 13^th inning.

With two outs, Trevor Story, the young shortstop, probably nervous as ever, finds a hole, that gave way to the veteran Gerardo Parra, probably not so nervous, singles, now with, two men on, backup catcher Tony Wolters steps to the plate, Kyle Hendricks probably thought this was some sort of joke.

One=strike, Two=strike.

With two strikes on the catcher, who hasn’t had a hit since September 10^th, singles that give Colorado the lead, then Scott Oberg puts down Gore, Baez and Albert Almora on 14 pitches and the last one was quick work.

Uno, dos y tres and he gone!

More later.
