I was traveling today, and one of my stops was to see my dad at the nursing home, where he was watching the Yankees game. New York won, but Boston beat the Astros which set the playoffs for the AL. The Yankees host the Twins on Tuesday, the winner of that game traveling to Cleveland to face the Indians on Thursday. The Red Sox pick up their series with the Astros in Houston next Thursday as well.
Meanwhile, the Brewers looked like they were going to stay alive with a late 6-4 lead against the Cardinals, but St. Louis scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth to win 7-6. That puts the Rockies into the post-season as the second wild card.
Back in July I thought the Rockies and Diamondbacks could coast to the wild card, but I didn’t think the Rockies would coast that much! Colorado will play in Arizona on Wednesday for the right to face the Dodgers on Friday, while the Cubs travel to Washington to face the Nationals the same day. There are four teams in the hunt that have not won a world series in my lifetime, so maybe another drought will be broken this year.
Congratulations to these then great teams!
