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 6th 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 13th,  no typo, actually the 13th 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 10th, 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.
