The Phillies Win Game 3

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

After being canceled due to yesterday’s weather, Game 3 of the World Series was played in Philadelphia tonight.  As I’ve said since the post-season began, I’m a Texan.  I wish the Rangers were in the World Series but they’re not.  The Astros are the Texas team in the World Series and that’s who I’m cheering for.  I wasn’t happy to watch the Astros lose tonight.  I especially wasn’t happy to see them lose by 0 runs to 7.

I’m happy for all the Phillies fans, though.  Whenever I would start to get upset about the score, the broadcast would show the fans reacting in the stands and they were so happy that I couldn’t help but be happy for them.  It reminded me of how excited I was when the Rangers made it to the World Series and how excited I’ll be when they make it their again.

So, congratulations, Phillies!  I’m still cheering for the Astros but the Phillies played a good game and they made their fans happy.

The Phillies Win Game One

Congrats to the Phillies who, last night, won Game One of the 2022 World Series!  By a score of 6-5, the Phillies handed the Astos their first loss of the post-season.  I’m cheering for the Astros but I am also happy that the Phillies’s amazing season will not end with them going 0-4 in the World Series.

The Phillies earned their win.  And now, it’s time to GO ASTROS!

The Astros and the Phillies Are Both One Victory Away!

Congratulations to both the Astros and the Phillies!

Today, the Astros beat the Yankees with a score of 5-0!  (Who wants Houston now!?)  The Phillies defeated the Padres 10-6.  The Astros are now 3-0 in the ALCS.  The Phillies are 3-1 in the NLCS.  After tomorrow’s games, both of these teams could be heading to the World Series!  Of course, the Yankees and the Padres could always turn things around.  It’s never over until it’s over.  That’s the great thing about baseball.  But I’m starting to really look forward to an Astros/Phillies World Series!

Good luck tomorrow to all the teams!

The Astros Are Two Wins Away From The World Series

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

I have a lot of friends who are Yankee fans so I’m not going to brag too much but it’s still a nice feeling to wake up and know that the Astros are two games away from going to the World Series!  Go Astros!

The Astros currently leads the ALCS, 2-0.  In the NLCS, the Phillies and the Padres are tied 1-1.  The Padres and Phillies will be playing tonight and I’ll be cheering for the Phillies!  What an amazing story they’ve had this season.  I’m looking forward to an Astros/Phillies World Series!

Good luck to all the teams still in the playoffs!

NLCS Preview: Padre Rap!

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

The Phillies and the Padres are meeting tonight for Game One of the NLCS.  Just a few months ago, no one would have predicted that these two teams would be the ones competing for the chance to represent the NL in the World Series.  I’ll be cheering for the Padres because Yu Darvish is going to be on the mound for them but I also think the Phillies have got an amazing story and I’ll be happy for them if that story includes them going to the World Series.

The Padres have already launched a mental attack on their opponents:

Can the Phillies recover from the horrors of Padre rap?  We’ll find out tonight!  We’ll also find out if it will be the Yankees or the Guardians facing off against the Astros in the ALCS.  It’s an exciting night for baseball!

Congrats To The Braves and The Padres On Tying Up Their Series

Congrats to the Braves and the Padres, who both won Game 2 of their Divisional Playoffs today and who tied everything up.  The Padres beat the Dodgers 5-3.  The Braves beat The Phillies 3-0.  That means there will at least be a Game 4 for each of these teams.

I was so caught up in all the excitement around the Phillies making the postseason for the first time in 11 seasons, that I think I may have forgotten that they still have to beat two other teams if they’re going to make it to the World Series.  Today, the Braves reminded me to not take anything for granted.

For tomorrow, Go Astros!

The Divisional Playoffs: Game 1

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

The Divisional playoff started today.

In Game One, the Yankees beat the Guardians, 4-1.

The Phillies beat the Braves by one run, 7-6.

And the Astros came from behind to beat the Mariners, 8-7.

I should be happy because I’m from Texas and the Astros are the Texas teams in the playoffs but I actually feel bad for Mariners, who really impressed me in the Wild Card and who were leading for most of today’s game.  I was glad that the Astros pulled off a win but I was sad that it came at the expense of the Mariners.

I’m also happy for the Phillies and their fans.  I know a lot of them were anxious waiting for the Phillies to finally put away today’s game.  A Phillies/Astros World Series sounds good right about now.  I’d even be happy with a Phillies/Mariners World Series.

Right now, in the last of today’s game, it is the top of the 4th and the Dodgers leads the Padres, 5-0.  Usually, I’d say that Dodgers are going to win but, as the Astros proved today, anything can happen before the final out.  That’s one of the many reasons why I love baseball.
