    Default For the first time in 29 years

    The Los Angeles Dodgers are going back to the World Series!!



    They finished off the Cubs in style last night, 11-1. Clayton Kershaw got an easy win with these many runs and lead them to the series. But Kiki Hernandez, the man of the night, he hit 3 home runs last night and one of them was a grand slam, for a total of 7 runs batted in!

    So now they wait, and will play the winner of the NY Yankees and Houston Astros series. The Yankees lead that series 3 games to 2, and the next game is tonight at 8pm. I'm pulling for the Yankees, I would love to see that matchup!! And even better, my wife has some connections and "may" be able to get us into one of the games. One of the guys she works with has season tickets, 4 tickets per game.

    Screw that. I'd like to see those freakin' perennial bridesmaids the Astros actually go for once. F-ing choke masters of MLB beyond compare.
