We have our four LCS participants: the San Francisco Giants, St Louis Cardinals, New York Yankees, and Detroit Tigers. How were our final two decided? Well, their games were…absolutely not what anyone expected at all. –Yankees 3, Orioles 1 –Cardinals 9, Nationals 7 To summarize, for those who don't want to click the links and […]

The New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 to win their AL Division Series matchup three games to two, and to advance to the ALCS to play the Detroit Tigers starting on Saturday. CC Sabathia must have watched Justin Verlander's pitching performance on Thursday night in Oakland, because he dominated the Orioles much like […]

Most of the failures were their own doing, but in the bottom […]
