A Day Of Upsets

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

If you’re a baseball fan, today was an exciting day.  Two games were played and both of them ended with an upset victory.

In Game 2 of the NLCS, the Brewers won their second game in a row by a score of 7 to 4.  If the Brewers ended up winning the National League pennant over the Dodgers, it’ll be both a huge upset and it will also be the team’s first time to go to the World Series.

Meanwhile, in Game 1 of the ALCS, the Guardians defeated the favor Ray by a score of 7-3.  I was cheering for the Rays but I like the Guardians too so this series is almost a win-win for me.

Personally, I’m hoping for a Brewers vs Rays World Series because it would be a first World Series appearance for both teams.  I’d love to see some history made!

For now, congratulations to both the Brewers and the Guardians!

Go Rays! An MLB Postseason Update!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

With the Astros and the Red Sox having been eliminated during the Wild Card round, the MLB postseason is now down to eight teams.

For the National League, the Braves, Dodgers, Padres, and Brewers are still in contention for a trip to the World Series.

For the American League, it’s the Yankees, the Rays, White Sox, and Guardians.  Since the Rangers did not win the games that they needed to win and I really didn’t feel like swallowing my pride and supporting the Astros, I have been cheering for the Rays since the season began.

Yesterday, in the first game of their divisional series, the Rays defeated the Yankees, 1-0.  That score still looks strange to me but a win is a win.  As a Rangers fans, I’m used to winning by either a small amount or losing by a huge amount.  You can score only one run and not give up a grand slam in the 9th inning?  I had no idea.

A Rays vs. Dodgers world series feels inevitable right now.  Last year, I cheered for the Dodgers because I’ll support any team against the Blue Jays.  This year — Go Rays!

 

 

The Dodgers Have Won The World Series!!!!!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Yes!  It may have taken extra innings!  They may have spent the entire game behind or tied until the 11th inning!  The important thing is that the Dodgers have won the World Series!  Our crops have been saved!  Congratulations to the Dodgers and thank you for defeating the Blue Jays.  That was one of the most exciting World Series that I have ever seen and, in the end, the right team won.

Now, when does Spring Training start?  I’m already looking forward to a new season of cheers, tears, and baseball!

Go Rangers!

The Dodgers Win Game 6!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

It’s a Halloween miracle!

My prayer to the Great Pumpkin paid off and the Dodgers just won Game 6 of the World Series, 3-1!  The Series is now tied and whoever win tomorrow’s game will win the championship!  As much as I don’t like the Blue Jays and even though the Dodgers are not my team, those two teams have really give us a great World Series so far!

It all comes down to Game 7, tomorrow night.  GO DODGERS!

And never doubt the power of the Great Pumpkin!

I’m Praying For A Halloween Miracle

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I don’t know about you but, after Game 5 of the World Series, I am praying to the Great Pumpkin for a Halloween miracle.

The Blue Jays are one game away from winning the World Series.  Game 6 will be played tomorrow, on Halloween night.  I want to spend my Halloween handing out candy and dancing the monster mash.  (It’s a graveyard smash.)  I do not want to spend it watching my least favorite baseball team win the World Series.  The Blue Jays deserve a lot of credit for how they’ve played this season but, until they fully exorcise the spirit of Jose Bautista and his bat flip from the team, I cannot support them.

I know people don’t like the Dodgers.  I don’t care.  They’re the only thing keeping the Blue Jays from winning the World Series.

Tomorrow’s game is pivotal.  If the Dodgers win, Game 7 will be played on November 1st and, if the Blue Jays do take the Series, at least it won’t happen on a holiday.  If the Blue Jays win Game 6, it’s all over.

I’m going to be make sure this household is the most sincere in the neighborhood so that the Great Pumpkin will give me what I want.

The Most Beautiful Home Run Of The Season

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Last night’s game lasted for 18 innings!  You know that I was cheering for the Dodgers but, after the 17th inning, I really just wanted someone to get a run so I could get some sleep!  It finally happened during the 18th inning, with the most beautiful homerun of the entire season.

The Dodgers are now leading the series 2-1!  Keep going, Dodgers!  Game 4 is tonight!

GO DODGERS!

The Dodgers Win Game Two!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

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!

The Dodgers Do Not Win Game One Of The World Series

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

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!

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!
