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!
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 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!
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!
This scene isn’t from a movie but it is one that I love and that I’ve watched a dozen times today.
Here’s what those of us watching the Rangers/Blue Jays game saw yesterday.
I’m usually against violence and I don’t like it when grown men act like children but I’m also a Rangers fan and Jose “Bat Flip” Bautista got what he deserved. After Bautista’s hard slide into 2nd base, Odor is lucky he didn’t end up with a broken leg and Bautista’s lucky that Adrian Beltre was there to carry him to safety.
Here it is again:
For the record, that game was the last time that the Rangers and Blue Jays are scheduled to play during the regular season. With a final score of 6-5, the Rangers not only won the game but also swept the series!
