Congratulations to the Yankees, the American League champions!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Start spreading the news, the New York Yankees are going to their first World Series since 2009!  They clinched the American League championship tonight, defeating the Guardians in Game 5 of the ALCS!

As for who the Yankees will be facing, the Dodgers have a chance to clinch the NLCS tomorrow and the Mets have a chacne to tie things up and keep the series going.  I’m hoping the Mets do just that because a World Series featuring the Yankees and the Mets just feels like a baseball dream come true!

Congratulations to the Yankees!  Good luck in the World Series!

And Then There Were Four

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

For the first time in years, I don’t have a team in the MLB post-season.

My beloved Rangers won their first World Series last year but they didn’t even make the playoffs this year.  I wasn’t happy about having to support the Astros but, since they were the only Texas team left, I cheered for them until they were eliminated in the Wild Card.

With the League Championships starting later today, there are four teams left.  Playing in the ALCS will be the Yankees and the Indians Guardians.  Meanwhile, the Dodgers and the Mets will be competing for the National League Championship and the right to move on to the World Series.

I’ve given it a lot of thought and, out of those four, I’ll be cheering for the Guardians.  I thought it was a largely performative and dumb move for Cleveland to change their team’s name but, of all four teams left, the Indians-turned-Guardians have gone the longest without a World Series win.  The last time Cleveland won the World Series was in 1948!  For Cleveland to finally win another World Series after a 76-year draught would be a great baseball story.  Who knows?  If the Guardians win, maybe it will cause all the other teams that have struggled to make it to or win the post-season to change their names too.

Good luck to all four teams in the Championship Series!

Go Guardians!

The Rangers Have Won The World Series!

The Texas Rangers just won their first World Series!

I AM SO EXCITED AND SO PROUD OF MY TEAM!  A lot of people didn’t think the Rangers had much of a chance in the post-season, especially after we lost our 1st place standing in AL West to the Astros.  A lot of people thought there was no way we would sweep the Orioles.  They thought the Astros has all the momentum in the ALCS.  And when Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer were injured during the World Series, they thought the team wouldn’t be able to keep up.  But all of the Rangers stepped up and tonight, by a score of 5-0, they beat the Diamondbacks and won their first World Series!

The Diamondbacks should be proud of the effort they made.  They really impressed me, more than the Astros did when they played the Rangers in the ALCS.  When the Diamondbacks make it back to the World Series, I will totally cheer for them as long as they’re not playing the Rangers!

I’m so proud of my team!  They did it!

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Game 4 Of The World Series!

Way to go, Rangers!  Even with both Adolis Garcia and Max Scherzer out due to injuries, the Rangers still came together won Game 5 of the World Series!  Even though the final score was 11-7, the Diamondbacks still put up a good fight.  They scared me in both the 8th and 9th innings.  The Diamondbacks are a good team and if they were playing against anyone other than the Rangers, I’d probably cheer for them.  This has been a great World Series, with two underdog teams showing up everyone who doubted them.

The Rangers are just one game away from winning their first World Series!  I’m so excited!  Tomorrow’s game is in Arizona.  At first, there was a part of me that does wish that the Rangers could win the championship in Arlington so the DFW metroplex can prove that it is a baseball town, but now I realize that I’ll be happy wherever they win it.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Do Not Win Game 2 Of The World Series

I don’t want to talk about it.

Congratulations to the Diamondbacks, though.  They clapped back tonight and let all of us Rangers fans know that they’re going to be tough and worthy opponents.  The World Series is now tied up and moving to Arizona for the next three games.  No matter how it ends, I hope the final game is played in Arlington.

Go Rangers!

The Rangers Win Game One Of The World Series!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Tonight, my team, the Texas Rangers, won game one of the World Series!  We were trailing when we went into the 9th but we tied it up with two runs and then, in the 11th inning, Adolis Garcia hit a home run and took us to a 6-5 victory over the Diamondbacks!

The Diamondbacks played a good game and this World Series isn’t close to being over.  But, for now, I’m just happy and excited for my team! I’m proud of them!

GO RANGERS!

The Rangers Wil Be Playing The Diamondbacks In The World Series!

Congratulations to the Arizona Diamondbacks for winning the NLCS!  They beat the Phillies in Game 7 and I’m actually really proud of them.  Just like with my Rangers when they were playing the Astros, the Diamondbacks were the underdogs.  A lot of people wrote off their chances with the Phillies took the lead in the series.  But the Diamondbacks never gave up and never stopped fighting and they won Game 7 with a score of 4-2!

Not only did both the Rangers and the Diamondbacks prove the naysayer wrong but they also saved us from having to sit through another Phillies/Astros World Series.  I’ll be cheering for my Rangers but I’m still happy for the Diamondbacks and all of their fans!

Go Rangers!

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!
