Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers On Winning Game One

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Tonight, I had one eye on The Giant Spider Invasion and one eye on Game One of the World Series. The movie was set in Wisconsin and, of course, this year’s World Series features the team from Wisconsin’s biggest city.  While the movie showed me that women in rural Wisconsin apparently didn’t own pants in the 1970s, the game showed me that both the Brewers and the Rays more than deserve to be representing their leagues in the World Series.

The Brewers won Game 1 by a score of 3-2.  I’m an American League girl so I’m cheering for the Rays but I wasn’t upset to see the Brewers win.  The Brewers played a good game and so did the Rays.  Someone had to win and, in this case, it was the Brewers.  If the Brewers had beaten the Rangers, I would be mad.

Congratulations to the Brewers on winning their first World Series game!

Go Rays!

 

Are You Ready For The World Series?

Are you excited for the World Series?  I know I am.  Whatever happens over the next few nights, one team is going to win their first World Series and one team is going to lose their first World Series.  The last time something like this happened was in 1980!  I wasn’t even born yet!

Here are some images to help you get in the mood for this historic World Series!  If this series goes to a full seven games, it will end on Halloween night!  Can you believe it?

Go Rays!

The Rays Are Going To The World Series!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Congratulation to the Tampa Bay Rays, who pulled out a win against the Guardians tonight and who will be going to their first World Series!  They’ll be facing the Brewers, another team who will be making their first World Series appearance!

For me, this is what baseball is all about.  The Rays were favored to win the American League Championship but the Guardians still proved themselves to be worthy opponents and they certainly didn’t make thing easy for Tampa Bay.  No one gave the Brewers much of a chance but they swept the Dodgers.  And now, one of these teams is going to win their first World Series!

The World Series starts on Friday and, if it goes for the full seven games, it will end on Halloween!

Go Rays!

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers!

Congratulations to the Milwaukee Brewers, who just won their first pennant and who will be making their first appearance in the World Series!  A lot of people, like me, assumed the Dodgers would win the series easily but the Brewers proved us wrong.  They swept the Dodgers and now, they’re going to the World Series, where they face either the Guardians or the Rays!

Good luck in the World Series and I hope the people of Milwaukee are celebrating tonight!

A Day Of Upsets

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!

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays!

Congratulations to the the Tampa Bay Rays on their victory in their Divisional series!  They swept the Yankees, winning in three games.

(I guess the Yankees forgot to renew their pact with the supernatural.)

The Dodgers also won their Divisional series so now it’s just a question of how who will be facing the Rays and the Dodgers for their respective League Championships.  The Rays will face either the Guardians or the White Sox.  The Dodgers will play either the Brewers or the Padres.

Go Rays!  I wish it my Rangers in the playoff but as long as an American League from the South wins the World Series, I’ll be happy!

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!

 

 

Go Team!!!

The MLB post-season is starting today and, with my Rangers not in contention, it’s time for me to pick a team to cheer for.

Usually, when the Rangers aren’t in the playoffs, I support the Astros because they’re the other team for Texas.  This year, though, there’s too many hard feelings.  I could justify cheering for the Rangers if they got into the post-season with an 81-81 record but I just can’t do it for the Astros.

When I can’t cheer for either the Astros or the Rangers, I usually cheer for whatever team is representing the South in the playoffs.  This season, that would appear to be the Braves but the Braves are a National League team and I just can’t bring myself to support the NL.

So, who am I supporting this year?

Congratulations, Tampa Bay!  I hope I’ll be cheering for you all the way through the World Series!

Go Rays!

It’s Over For The Rangers

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

The Rangers just played their final game of the regular season.  By a score of 4-6, they lost to the Twins.  Even if they had won, they would have still needed the Astros to lose to the Athletics to make it to the post-season.  The Astros are currently leading the Athletics 9-0.

So, it’s over.  Usually, this is when I try to stay positive and look forward to the next season but I’m not in the mood right now.  We came so close to making it to the post-season but then we lost the games that we really needed to win.  It’s such a familiar story.

I love my Rangers but my heart is broken right now.  I’ll still watch the play-offs and I’ll find a team to cheer for.  It won’t be the 81-81 Astros.
