New York Yankees: 9th ALCS berth
1904 1905 1909 1910 1912 1913 1920 1921 1922

[Mike Francesa voice]
"Chris, Chris, lemme tell ya somethin’—this is a game the Yankees had absolutely no business winnin’. None. They gave up thirteen hits through four and a third innings. Thirteen! You’re sittin’ there thinkin’, ‘Alright, this is one of those nights where Seattle’s just gonna bludgeon ‘em, the Yanks are gonna pack it in, and we’re headed to a Game 5.’ But somehow—somehow—they wriggle out of jam after jam. Every time the Mariners had ducks on the pond, somethin’ went wrong for ‘em. Lineouts, double plays, missed opportunities. And that’s how you steal a ballgame."

[Chris Russo voice, high-pitched, fast-talking]
"MIKEY, you nailed it! THE YANKEES HAD NO RIGHT, NONE, ZERO, to come outta this game with a W! Barnard gets blasted early, the Mariners are hittin’ lasers all over T-Mobile, you’re thinkin’ six, seven runs easy—and somehow it’s still close! Rivera, MVP, fine, he gets on base, Wilson with the big home run—BUT THE STORY, THE STORY, MIKE, IS SEATTLE LEAVIN’ TEN MEN ON BASE!! You can’t do that in October! CAN’T DO IT!"

[Mike, calm, deliberate]
"And listen—credit where it’s due. You win ugly, it still counts. Yankees bullpen settled down, Nevarez came in, did his job. And then boom—Garcia’s homer in the 8th, Wilson earlier with the three-run shot in the 2nd, those are your difference-makers. That’s postseason baseball. You don’t ask how, you just survive and advance."

[Chris, cutting in]
"AND NOW, Mikey, they’re goin’ back to the ALCS for the third year in a row! Ninth time overall! I mean, it’s unbelievable. Doesn’t matter if it’s Cleveland, doesn’t matter if it’s Texas, the Yankees’ll be there, right in the thick of it! But Seattle—oh, boy—they’re gonna be sick about this one. Fifteen hits! Fifteen hits, six runs, and they LOSE! Absolutely brutal, Mike, absolutely brutal."

“Folks, you look at this game—Los Angeles Dodgers, a very strong team, very talented—but the Milwaukee Brewers, they came out firing. Tremendous performance. Josh Tidwell, unbelievable guy, 2-for-3, home run, walks, scoring three runs—really did it all. I mean, you don’t see that every day. People are talking about it, everybody’s talking about it.
The Dodgers, they tried—they tried very hard—but they just couldn’t get it done. They made some mistakes—errors, bullpen issues—but you know what? That’s baseball. Sometimes it’s about talent, sometimes it’s about timing. Milwaukee, tremendous focus. They forced a Game 5. A very exciting, very important Game 5. People are going to be watching—big crowd, tremendous attendance.
The big moment, folks—you see the eighth inning, bases empty, Dodgers down by one. Pedro Huerta strikes out. Huge out. Game on the line, Milwaukee pitcher Alex Jeoffrey, very smart, very skilled. That’s what winners do—they step up in the big moments.
So now, we’ve got a Game 5 at Dodger Stadium. Big game, huge stakes, everybody talking about it. It’s going to be fantastic. Really, one of the best Division Series you’ve seen in a long time. Tremendous baseball. Tremendous players. And remember, folks, Milwaukee showed heart—real heart. Game 5, it’s going to be incredible. Believe me.”

Texas Rangers: 2nd ALCS berth
1918 1922

It’s a crisp October afternoon at Jacobs Field, the kind of day that makes baseball feel timeless. The Texas Rangers, after enduring three straight Division Series heartbreaks, finally exorcised the demons. With a 2-0 win over the Cleveland Indians, they advance to the American League Championship Series for only the second time in franchise history.
And what a series it was. Cleveland, a team with World Series pedigree—champions in 1919 and 1920—couldn’t find an answer this year. They didn’t even win a playoff round, a stark contrast to their recent glory. The Rangers, patient, precise, opportunistic, seized the moment.
It was pitching that set the tone. Vinny Luevanos, the Rangers’ ace, delivered a masterpiece: seven shutout innings, just three hits allowed, four strikeouts, no walks. The kind of performance you replay in your mind, the kind that makes you appreciate the artistry of a well-thrown fastball and a perfectly placed curve. When he handed the ball to J. Gates to close it out, it was icing on the cake: two scoreless innings, and just like that, the Rangers’ season rolls on.
Offensively, it was methodical rather than flashy. Tony Guerrero, the series MVP, didn’t need to hit towering home runs to dominate. He set the table, drove in runs, scored runs—.389 in the series, six RBIs, four runs scored. He was the kind of player who reminds you that baseball isn’t always about the highlight reel; sometimes it’s about consistency, timing, and putting pressure on the opposition inning after inning.
Cleveland had their moments, but Texas made them pay when it mattered most. Pitches were located, outs were recorded, and the clock struck “Rangers time.” For the fans in Texas, delirium. For Cleveland, disappointment. And for the rest of us, another chapter in the rich narrative that is Major League Baseball.
Next up: the Rangers face the New York Yankees. A clash of leagues, a meeting of history and momentum. The ALCS promises fireworks. But for now, we tip our caps to the Texas Rangers, who, after years of near-misses, finally delivered when it counted.

Los Angeles Dodgers: 5th NLCS berth
1902 1910 1914 1918 1922

Dodger Stadium on a clear Sunday afternoon, 71 degrees, a gentle breeze blowing left to right, and baseball at its most dramatic. The Milwaukee Brewers, after a hard-fought series, were just three outs away from advancing to the National League Championship Series—but the Los Angeles Dodgers had other plans.
This was a classic example of postseason tension: close, tight, every pitch carrying the weight of a season. Willie Chavez on the mound for Los Angeles was the story early, working seven innings of one-run baseball, mixing precision and poise in a way that can only be described as surgical. He struck out eight, allowed just three hits, and when it came time for J. Kovach to record the final two outs, it was a textbook closer’s performance—calm, methodical, unshakable.
Offensively, it was Cory Brierton, the Dodgers’ first baseman, who earned the MVP honors. He was relentless: three hits, including a double, five runs scored, a home run, and a .550 batting average for the series. Alongside him, W. Cortez provided key support with timely hitting, including a double in the seventh that kept the Dodgers within striking distance. But it was Pedro Huerta, the former Oriole, who delivered the coup de grâce—a two-run, bottom-of-the-ninth hit that stole the series and sent the Dodgers into the National League Championship Series.
For Milwaukee, it was a cruel twist of fate. R. Alvarado had delivered seven strong innings, just four hits and a single run allowed, striking out seven. They battled, they competed, and yet, the postseason can be cruel, and the Dodgers snatched victory from the jaws of near-certain defeat.
When the winning run crossed home plate, 3-2 Dodgers, the crowd erupted. For Los Angeles, a trip to their fifth National League Championship Series awaits, facing the New York Mets, who swept the Reds 3-0. For Milwaukee, it’s a gut punch, a reminder of the fine margins that define October baseball.
This is why we watch. This is why the postseason captivates us: the triumph, the heartbreak, the drama, all unfolding in real time on a stage like Dodger Stadium.

1922 League Championship Series

[jg2977]

Alright brother, let me tell ya somethin’ about what went down at yankee stadium on october 16th, 1922, dude!
You had the texas rangers marchin’ into the house that ruth built, jack, and they weren’t there to shake hands — they were there to lay the smackdown on the new york yankees, brother!
And let me tell ya somethin’, when jon tucker stepped on that mound, man, he brought the 24-inch pythons of pitching power! Eight strong innings, four hits, eight strikeouts, and just two runs, dude! The yankees tried to flex, but tucker said “not today, brother!”
now whatcha gonna do when mikey walden and luis soria come for you, brother?! Walden dropped the hammer with a home run in the fifth, and soria said, “if you can hit one, i can hit one too!” in the seventh, jack! And when danny martinez sent that ball to the moon in the sixth — well, that was the three-match combo right there, dude!
The rangers were runnin’ wild on the basepaths too, with petesch and guerrero stealin’ bags like it was a tag team match in the steel cage, brother!
Meanwhile, the yankees were swingin’ like they’d just been hit with the steel chair of destiny! Only four hits, two runs, and by the end, they were starin’ up at the lights, jack! Nick moser tried to fight back with a solo blast in the eighth, but it was too little, too late, dude!
When the dust cleared and the smoke settled, the texas rangers stood tall with an 8-2 victory, brother! They take a 1-0 lead in the league championship series, and the yankees are left wonderin’ what they’re gonna do…
…when the texas rangers and jon tucker run wild on youuuuuuuuu, brother!!!
Whatcha gonna do, yankees?! Whatcha gonna do?! 🟦💪⚾️

[jg2977]

Ohhhhhh… you gotta be kidding me, bro.
This—this is one of the most disgusting losses I’ve ever seen as a Mets fan, alright? I mean, are you kidding me with this?! Bobby Colon is dealing, bro — dealing! He’s got a no-hitter goin’ into the seventh inning, he’s making the Dodgers look like a Little League team, and then what happens? What always happens with this team, man — everything falls apart!
You get one out in the seventh, and then it’s like the baseball gods just decided, “Nope, not today, Mets fans. You’ve had enough nice things.” A triple, an error, a double — boom, boom, boom — the whole thing unravels! Colon gives up one earned run the entire game, and somehow he’s the loser! You can’t make it up, bro!
And don’t even get me started on the offense. TEN HITS, bro! Ten hits! And what do they do? They leave about fifteen guys on base! Brubaker’s out there doing everything — three hits, a homer, a double, a walk, scores two runs — the guy’s basically carrying the team on his back, and the rest of the lineup’s lookin’ like they’re sleepin’ through rush hour on the 7 train!
You’ve got runners in scoring position all day, and what do they do? Nothin’, bro! Nothin’! Groundouts, strikeouts, pop-ups — it’s a disaster. I’m watchin’ this game thinkin’, “Here we go again. Typical Mets.” Colon should’ve had a shutout win, easy. Instead, the bullpen comes in, gives up two bombs — one in the eighth, one in the ninth — and that’s it! Ballgame, Dodgers take Game 1.
Six runs on six hits, bro. Six runs on six hits! It’s almost impressive how this team finds new ways to break your heart every October, except for last year.
I’m tellin’ ya, man — I’ve seen some bad ones over the years. 2006, 2015, 2021, 2025… but this one? This one’s right up there. Colon deserved better. The fans deserved better.
Unbelievable, bro. Just unbelievable.

[jg2977]

WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER, WHEN THE TEXAS RANGERS RUN WILD ON YOU?!
Lemme tell ya somethin’, Mean Gene! The Texas Rangers came crashin’ and bashin’ into Yankee Stadium for Game 2 of the ALCS, and after eleven gruelling, body-slamming innings, those Texas dudes walked outta there with an 8–7 victory, JACK! The crowd was silent, the Yankees were reeling, and the Rangers took a 2–0 stranglehold on this best-of-seven series, brother!
Now listen here, dude — Chris Neidich was on the mound bringin’ the heat, man. The big right-hander went six and a third, givin’ up just four hits, two of those comin’ off a couple’a long balls from those Bronx Bombers, but Neidich hung in there like a true champion, brother! He was droppin’ sliders like leg drops, fastballs like clotheslines, and keepin’ those pinstriped jabronis off balance all afternoon!
But then, brother — when the game hit the eleventh inning, when the lights were brightest, when the cream rises to the top — Juan “The Crusher” Contreras stepped up, dude! The bases are juiced, the crowd’s goin’ wild, the pressure’s on — and Contreras smacks a two-run double, brother! Right in the gap, scores two, and gives the Rangers the 8–6 lead they would never give back! That was the atomic leg drop of this matchup, man!
And I’ll tell ya somethin’ else, brother — those Yankees, they fought hard. You had Moser, you had Kim, you had Nicholson, you had Pyo hittin’ bombs like folding chairs over the top rope, dude! But it wasn’t enough, man. Not when the Texas Rangers have the heart of a champion and the power of 24-inch pythons on their side, BROTHER!
Now the series heads back to Globe Life Field, Texas, where the Rangers are lookin’ to slam the door on the Yankees once and for all. So whatcha gonna do, YANKEE MANIACS, when the Texas Rangers and their ALCS power run wild… ON YOUUUUUUUU?! ��������

[jg2977]

Ohhhhhhh baby… what a freakin’ way for the Mets to respond after that disaster of a Game 1, huh? I mean, you talk about answering the bell — this was an old-school, statement game, bro. 12–3 over the Dodgers. The bats finally woke up, Citi Field was rockin’, and Alan Sloan — oh my God, Alan Sloan — the guy looked like freakin’ Mike Piazza out there, bro!
Two home runs, a double, five RBIs, three runs scored — this guy single-handedly buried the Dodgers today. I’m sittin’ there in my living room sayin’, “Where was this in Game 1?!” But hey, I’ll take it, man. This was exactly what the Mets needed. Total domination. The crowd’s into it, the team’s got swagger again, and now the series is tied 1–1 heading back to L.A.
You gotta give credit to Jose Rojas too. Look, he wasn’t perfect — gave up a couple runs early — but he battled, bro. Six and a third, seven hits, three runs, got through some jams, gave the bullpen a breather. And how about Mervar out of the pen? Lights. Out. Didn’t allow a hit in nearly three innings! That’s what you need if you’re gonna win in October, man — pitching, bullpen, timely hitting.
And can we talk about that fifth inning? Porche goes deep, then Alicea crushes one right after him — back-to-back bombs! Citi Field was goin’ nuts! This was the kind of game that reminds you why you love this freakin’ team… and why they drive you crazy sometimes, too.
So here we go, bro — tied at one, goin’ to Dodger Stadium for Game 3. You just know it’s gonna be wild. But for now, enjoy this one, Mets fans. We needed this in the worst way. Alan Sloan — absolute stud. Let’s freakin’ go Mets, baby!

[jg2977]

WELL LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN’, BROTHER!! The Texas Rangers ran wild on those New York Yankees tonight at Globe Life Field, DUUUUDE! The Rangers dropped the big leg, the atomic elbow, and every power move in the book, JACK — and they smashed the pinstripes 11 to 1, brother!
And you better believe the Texas crowd was goin’ absolutely BONKERS, man! Vinny Luevanos was in the ring — I mean, on the mound — throwing absolute heat, brother! Eight and a third innings, only TWO hits, one lonely run, and eight strikeouts, DUUUDE! The man was droppin’ curveballs like body slams, brother!
Then you got my man DANNY MARTINEZ, hittin’ bombs like he’s droppin’ the big boot on the Yankees’ championship dreams, brother! Triple, homer, two RBIs, just flexin’ all over that New York pitching, JACK!
Tomas Guerrero? TWO RBIs and a homer of his own, brother! And Javy Norwood joined the party too — boom! Another long ball! It was a home run derby in Arlington, DUUUDE!
And now, whatcha gonna do, Yankees… whatcha gonna DO, when the Texas Rangers go up three games to NONE, brother?! They’re one win away from the World Series, man!
The Rangers are too strong, the crowd’s too loud, and Vinny Luevanos is throwin’ fireballs like a Texas-sized Hulkamaniac, brother! Tomorrow night, they could slam the door shut on New York’s season, DUUUUDE!
So to all the Hulkamaniacs down in Texas — say your prayers, eat your brisket, and get ready to celebrate, brother… because the RANGERS are runnin’ wild, JACK!!!

[jg2977]

The Texas Rangers came into this one ready to slam the door shut, DUUUUDE — they were up three games to NONE, ready to send the Yankees packin’, JACK! The fans were on their feet, the smoke was rollin’, and the lights were blazin’ bright over Globe Life Field, brother! But then… the New York Yankees came struttin’ in, man, and they weren’t goin’ down without a fight!
ALEJANDRO “THE HAMMER” RIVERA, DUUUUDE — that guy was swingin’ the bat like a steel chair, JACK! Three hits, a homer, a double, three RBIs, three runs — he was tearin’ it up like Hulkamania in the ‘80s, brother! Every time he stepped in the box, the Rangers’ pitchers were lookin’ like they’d just taken a leg drop to the soul, man!
Then you had Leo Romero comin’ in hot with a big-time two-run blast in the fifth, brother! The Yankees exploded for NINE runs that inning, JACK! NINE! It was a full-on Bronx Bombing raid right in the middle of Texas, dude!
Bobby Barnard was dealin’ on the mound for the Yankees, man — 7 and 2/3 innings of pure power pitching, brother! He gave up just one run, kept the Rangers in check, and flexed that pinstripe muscle, DUUUUDE!
But for the Rangers, it was a rough one, brother. Josh Norwood hit a solo shot in the fifth to get ‘em on the board, but after that, the bats went cold as ice, JACK. The Rangers’ pitchers were hittin’ the mat left and right — Carter, Carrizosa, Cruz, Scott — it was like a tag team that ran outta partners, DUUUUDE!
And the New York Yankees — the defending American League champions — said, “NOT TODAY, BROTHER!” They live to fight another day, JACK!
So now, the series is three games to one, and the Yankees got a little life back in those pinstripes, man! Tomorrow, they’re gonna come out swingin’ again, tryin’ to keep Hulkamania-style momentum rollin’, brother!
But the Rangers? They’re still just one win away from the pennant, DUUUUDE! So the question is…
WHATCHA GONNA DO, BROTHER — WHEN THE NEW YORK YANKEES RUN WILD ON YOU?!?

[jg2977]

OHHH BABY!!! Let me tell ya somethin’ right now, Mets fans — the New York Mets actually showed up, bro! I can’t believe what I’m sayin’ here, but the Mets went out to L.A., in front of almost 50,000 Dodger fans, and absolutely took care of business, man! Seven to one, Mets win it, and they take a 2-1 lead in the series!
And how about Jordan freakin’ Pineda, bro? The guy’s forty years old! FORTY! He’s got more miles on that arm than my old Ford Escort, and he goes out there and gives you seven and a third, five hits, one run — just beautiful, absolutely beautiful! Vintage stuff, baby!
You could just feel it early, man. First inning, the Mets load the bases, Alex Peña hits the sac fly — boom, 1-0 lead. You just felt like maybe — maybe! — things were gonna go right for once.
Then in the middle innings? Forget it, bro. They blew it open. Contreras goes deep in the sixth, Brubaker crushes one in the eighth — these guys were hittin’ bullets all night, man! Twelve hits, seven runs, and they didn’t even need the long ball to do most of the damage.
And look, I gotta say this — the Dodgers looked flat. Totally flat, bro. You’re at home, you got a chance to go up 2-1, and you put up ONE run? One? Against a 40-year-old? Come on! The Mets outplayed ‘em in every single phase — pitching, hitting, defense, base running, everything!
And how about Stacks, bro — three steals! The Mets were actually aggressive on the basepaths! I didn’t even know they remembered how to do that!
Pineda hands it over to Fukuyama to close it out, and the kid was lights out, man — struck out three, gave up nothin’. Boom, ballgame over.
So now, here we are — the Mets lead the series two games to one, with Game 4 tomorrow night at Dodger Stadium, and suddenly… dare I say it, bro… the Mets look like the better team right now!
But listen — it’s the Mets, okay? I’ve been burned too many times. I’ve seen this movie before. You win a couple, you get all hyped up, and then BAM — heartbreak city, bro.
Still… tonight? It was fun. It was actually fun to watch the Mets play baseball.
So I’ll say it: “Ohhhh baby, the Mets are two wins away from the pennant!”
Now let’s just hope they don’t Mets it up, bro.

[jg2977]

Texas Rangers: 1918 American League Champions (2nd pennant)
1918 1922

LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN’, MEAN GENE!!! The Texas Rangers just ran wild all over the New York Yankees, JACK! And now the Rangers are headed to the WORLD SERIES for the second time, brother!!
When Mike Walden and the Texas Rangers woke up this morning, they looked in the mirror and said, “WE’RE NOT DONE, BROTHER!” They weren’t ready to pack their bags, they weren’t ready to head to the beach — they were ready to DROP THE LEG on the Bronx Bombers and finish this series, DUDE!
And that’s exactly what they did, man — 3 to NOTHING! They SHUT. THEM. OUT. The crowd at Globe Life Field, over 48,000 strong, was losing their minds, brother! The Rangers put the Yankees in a headlock and never let go!
Let’s talk about Jonny Tucker, man — the ace of the Rangers, the real deal! Seven innings, two hits, seven punchouts, no runs! The dude was throwing gas, brother, and the Yankees were swingin’ like they’d never seen a fastball before! Then Big Jim Gates comes outta the bullpen, drops the elbow for the final two innings, and SLAMS the door shut, DUDE!
And how about J. Norwood, man?! Early in the third, he drops a BOMB to left field, puts the Rangers up 1-0, and from there, it was all Texas! Mike Walden, the MVP himself, drives in another run, and D. Martinez and the boys keep the line movin’, brother! Twelve hits total — they were SMASHIN’ and DASHIN’ all night long!
Meanwhile, those Yankees, man… they just couldn’t get it goin’, brother. Three little singles, that’s it! They looked like they were trapped in the Camel Clutch, DUDE!
So now the Texas Rangers — the red, white, and blue wrecking crew — they’re headin’ to the WORLD SERIES, brother! The last time they got there was back in 1918, but this time… this time, the Rangers say, “WE’RE BRINGIN’ HOME THE GOLD, DUDE!”
They’re just waitin’ to see who they’ll drop the big leg on next — the New York Mets or the Los Angeles Dodgers! Doesn’t matter, man. The Rangers are fired up, they’re locked in, and they’re ready to run wild on whoever stands in their way!
So whatcha gonna do, Yankees…
when the Texas Rangers, Jon Tucker, and all their Ranger-maniacs
RUN WILD ON YOU, BROTHER!!! 🤘🇺🇸⚾️
