I missed the game tonight because I was supporting my sister and #ScarySocial but I did check the score when I got a chance and needless to say, I was very happy. After getting crushed last night, the Dodgers came back and won Game Two by a score of 5-1! The series is now tied at 1-1. That means that we will at least get a Game Five.
Congrats, Dodgers! Now, keep it up and win that championship!
I’m just going to say it. Nothing makes you feel more like a jinx than for the team your cheering for to get crushed 11-4 in the Game One of the World Series. It makes me glad that I switched over to Tremors when the game was still tied because I don’t think I could have handled watching every minute of that defeat.
The good thing is, though, there are still a lot more games to go and the Dodgers are only down by one game. They can still turn this around and they’ve shown that they have the talent to do so. And if I have to start cheering for the Blue Jays to transfer that jinx over to them, I’ll do it!
Go Dodgers!

The World Series starts tonight and I can’t think of anything scarier than the Blue Jays winning the World Series. Not until a priest is called in to exorcise the spirit of Jose Bautista from the Blue Jays dugout will I be willing to cheer for Toronto.
So, I’m sending up all of my Halloween prayers to the Los Angeles Dodgers! You’re our only hope, Dodgers! I certainly never though I’d be cheering for you but this October, you’re my team! Get out there and play to win. I want to see home runs, stolen bases, and plenty of leaning into the pitch. Do what you have to do. Show the Mariners how it’s done.
The World Series starts tonight. The earliest it could end would be with Game 4 on October 28th. I wouldn’t mind if the Blue Jays won a few games to extend the World Series to Game 6. The Dodgers winning the World Series on October 31st? That would be a Halloween miracle!
Go Dodgers! Let Rougned Odor be your inspiration!
Also, check out the Google Doodle for today!
Last night was terrifying! I was watching the Mariner/Blue Jays game and the Mariners were ahead. They seemed like the had the game wrapped up. I was so confident that the Mariners would be winning the ALCS and keeping Toronto out of the World Series that I stopped watching the game and instead, I joined Lisa, Jeff, Brad, and the rest of the Monday Mania crew in watching The Wrong Boy Next Door.
About 45 minutes into the movie, I glanced at my phone to check on the game.
The Blue Jays were ahead.
No, I wanted to shout, what are you doing, Seattle!?
The Blue Jays went on to win the ALCS and now, they’ll be facing the Dodgers in the World Series. And while I may not like the Blue Jays, I have to congratulate them. They came from behind in both the game and the series and they won. That’s what a good baseball team does.
So. congratulations, Blue Jays. And, when the series begins on the 24th, let’s go Dodgers!
Seattle, I’m never going to depend on you for anything ever again.
Also, if you guys could wrap up the World Series before Halloween rolls around, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
Dear Mariners,
You had one job! You just needed to win Game 6 of the ALCS. If you had won tonight, you would be going to the World Series and you would have kept the Blue Jays out of the World Series. Instead, you lost and now the ALCS is tied 3-3. The Dodgers only needed four games to win the NLCS. The Mariners and the Blue Jays are having to go to a Game 7!
For me, this has been a frustrating season. My Rangers started out strong and then fell apart before rallying towards the end of the regular season and then falling apart again. Now, I’m depending on the Mariners to keep my least favorite team out of the World Series. And if the Mariners lose tomorrow’s game, it’ll be up to the Dodgers to keep the Blue Jays from winning the World Series.
It’s frustrating but a championship series going all the way to Game 7 is actually what baseball is all about. This is a big moment for both teams. Go Mariners! You’re our only hope! But if the Blue Jays do win, I’ll be gracious because they earned the victory. They went from trailing 0-2 to tying things at 3-3. I’ll congratulate the Blue Jays, right before I start cheering for the Dodgers.
This was a great day for baseball!
The Dodgers have swept the NLCS and will be facing either the Mariners or the Blue Jays in the World Series! Congratulations, Dodgers! Though I’m usually not even a fan of of the National League, I still plan to cheer for the Dodgers regardless of which team joins them in the series.
Meanwhile, the Mariners are only one win away from vanquishing the Blue Jays and claiming the ALCS. Go Mariners! We’re all counting on you to keep Toronto out of the World Series!
Baseball update! The Dodgers have just defeated the Brewers in Game 3 of the NLCS! The Dodgers now lead the series 3-0 and are one win away from going to the World Series! As they are the only team that is not from a state (or country) that is at the very top of the lower 48, I am in the unexpected position of cheering for the Dodgers as the MLB postseason reaches its conclusion.
Now, it’s up to the Mariners to defeat the Blue Jays in Game 4 of the ALCS and we will be that much closer to the World Series that I want.
Go Mariners! Go Dodgers!
I don’t like the Blue Jays and the last thing I want is to see them win any games during the ALCS but, as a baseball fan, I have to give credit where credit is due. And, as a Rangers fan, I have to share this GIF of Rougned Odor flattening Jose Bautista.
A 13-4 victory over the Mariners cannot be ignored and the Blue Jays got it at the exact time they needed it. They’re still down in the series, 2-1. But they’ve proven that they’re not out of this.
I’m depending on you, Mariners. Don’t let me down!
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who earlier tonight won Game 2 of the NLCS, defeating the Brewers by a score of 5-1.
I am happy to say that the Dodgers are currently ahead 2-0 in the series while the Mariners are currently ahead of the Blue Jays, also by 2-0, in the ALCS. Hopefully, this will mean that the Blue Jays will not make it to the World Series (Thank you, Seattle!) and that the Dodgers will keep the both the Mariners and the Brewers from taking the Commissioners Trophy up north. (Thank you, Los Angeles!)
It’s not ideal but, after the season I just lived through, I’ll take it!
Go Mariners! Go Dodgers!
