October 21, 2032: ALCS Game 5 & NLCS Game 4:
We're on the verge of partying like it's 2001 as the Diamondbacks and Yankees both move within one game of the World Series. The big news though is that Mario Aguilar didn't homer for New York. By the way the "Bradley" who won the game for Arizona today is none other than Taj Bradley, a one-time Rays farmhand from the early 20s whom we threw in with Hunter Renfroe in a deal with Minnesota to acquire Max Kepler back in the day. He's bounced around the majors and minors, and he has 70 stuff and 70 control....but 35 movement (actually a little better than the 30 he was rated at in previous years).
October 22, 2032: NLCS Game 5:
The Diamondbacks are off to their first World Series since they only one they appeared in back in 2001 after surprisingly making quick work of the Dodgers. They had to win a Game 162 tiebreaker with the Padres, beat Cincinnati in the wild card, and then take out the top team in the NL, the 98-win Cardinals, so perhaps they're one of those "teams of destiny".
October 23, 2032: ALCS Game 6:
And to Game 7 we will go as the Rangers roughed up Dave Falco, the Yankees' most consistent starting pitcher this postseason who helped him win the Wild Card Game and shut out the Rays in the pivotal Game 3 of the ALDS.
October 24, 2032: ALCS Game 7:
Texas built a big lead and hand to hang on for dear life to take Game 7 of the ALCS and give us what pundits are calling the "Southwest Series" as the Rangers will play the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series. It's the first World Series for the Rangers since their back-to-back losses to St. Louis and Texas in 2010-11.
