The ALCS Is Tied Again

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

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.

The Dodgers Are Going To The World Series!

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!

Toronto Has Won Game 3 Of The ALCS

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 Dodgers!

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!

Go Seattle!

Congratulations to the Seattle Mariners!  Tonight, they defeated the Blue Jays and won Game One of the American League Championship Series!

I know that I never thought I’d be cheering for Seattle but I’ll support any team that keeps the Blue Jays out of the World Series!  Keep it up, Seattle!  Your three games away from the pennant!

The final score was Mariners 3, Blue Jays 1.

As for the National League Championship, it’s the Brewers vs the Dodgers and I don’t care who wins as long as they can beat Seattle in the World Series!

The Rangers Are Going To The World Series!

They went into the playoffs as definite underdogs.  A lot of people said they wouldn’t even make it through the Wild Card.  They said there was no way they’d sweep the Orioles.  They said the Astros had all the momentum in the ALCS.  The Astros and their fans certainly were quick to let you know that they were expecting an easy victory.

Well, guess what?

THE RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!

There’s a saying.  The only thing better than winning a game is winning a game against The Astros.  The only thing better than winning a game against the Astros is winning a game against the Astros in Houston.  And the only thing better than winning a game against the Astros in Houston is winning a game that sends you to the World Series!

I AM SO PROUD OF MY TEAM!

The Astros put up a good fight whenever they were in Arlington but, in this end the was the Rangers’s year.

GO RANGERS!

The Rangers Tie Up The ALCS!

We are going to Game 7!

Tonight, the Rangers defeated the Asstros, winning by a score of 9-2!  With this victory, the Rangers tied up the ALCS.  The next game will determine who is going to the World Series and I can’t wait to cheer my team to what I hope will be a Rangers victory!

The best part of tonight’s game?  Adolis Garcia, who was deliberately hit by an Asstros pitch during the last game, got his revenge by hitting the grand slam that let Houston know that they weren’t going to stage a comeback in the 9th.

Go Rangers!

The Astros Now Lead The ALCS

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

This game was painful!

The Rangers went into the ninth leading the Astros but then Jose Altuvie hit his 26th season post-season career home run and the score went from being 2-4, Rangers to 5-4, Astros.  The Rangers always seem to struggle at home but the good news is that, lately, Houston has been struggling at their home too.  The ALCS is returning to Houston so let’s hope the Rangers can turn things around.  The Astros are one game away from returning to the World Series and, if they’re joined by the Phillies, it’ll be another years with two most hated teams in the league fighting it out in the World Series.

Normally, I’d cheer for Astros in that case but I might not this year.  Not after Martin Maldonado deliberately hit Adolis Garcia with a pitch.  Way to keep up classy, Houston.  It would take a lot to make me support a team from Philadelphia but the Astros are really determined to help me do it.

Go Rangers!

The ALCS Is Tied Up

That was brutal.  Tonight, the Astros won Game 4 of the ALCS by a score of 10-3.  The ALCS is all tied up now.  You all know I’m a Rangers fans so tonight’s game was hard to watch.  But if I’m going to brag whenever the Rangers win, I guess I have to be willing to acknowledge when they get beat, too.

I’ll always love my team no matter what happens but I hope tomorrow’s game is a better one for the Rangers.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Game Two of the ALCS!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

GO RANGERS!

That was a scary game.  The Rangers started out by getting four hits during the first inning but the Astros kept chipping away at that lead and showing why you can never count them out.  The Rangers held on, though, and won by a score of 5-4!

We’re now 2-0 in the ALCS!  I’m so proud of my team!

As for the NLCS tonight, I can’t stand the Phillies so I hope they win so my Rangers can beat them in the World Series!  But even if the Diamondbacks win, I’ll be celebrating tonight!
