The Baseball Gods have mustered,

and we are approaching Baseball Rangarok..

ALCS Game One

Boston Red Sox: 5
New York Yankees: 2

Boston leads the best of seven series 1-0 It should be pointed out that this game was played in Yankee Stadium. I have to wonder how quiet it got in there at the end of a three-hit stranglehold by the BoSox pitchers.

NLCS Game Two

Chicago Cubs: 12
Florida Marlins: 3

Series tied, 1-1

[livejournal.com profile] lysana and [livejournal.com profile] bunyip are very happy people tonight.

Very happy person... go Sammy, and go Cubbies.

Yes, go back into the mediocrity that is the birthright and eventual fate of the Immature Ursines.... :-P

I fear the possibility of a BoSox-Immature Ursines World Series; they might still be playing (since neither team will be able to win the Series) when next season's spring training starts.

Don't mind him

Ahhh... I knew he was either the Astros, or Cardinals from the bet, but couldn't remember which

*bounce*

It's only one game, but still, it's sweet.

I don't much follow baseball, but I did recently read that the Cubs got here on the strength of their pitching (specifically, two ace pitchers) and do not have a strong offfense.

Um, yeah.

BTW, which would be more painful for a Yankes fan? Losing to Boston in the ALCS? Or losing to the Cubs in the World Series?

Yes. Losing to the hated rival BoSox would be like us dropping the NLCS to the Dodgers. We'd be clawing our eyes out in anger.

The team with the most World Series wins in baseball history (27, IIRC) dropping the series to the team that hasn't even been since 1908 would be bad, but I think in the Cosmic Order of things, it would be easier for the New York fans to handle. "Hey, at least we knocked out those bums from Boston!"

Shouldn't that be

The Baseball Gods have mustard?

Otherwise, how can they eat their pretzels?

Though I suppose a snit about missing condiments could be the trigger for Ragnarok...
