Playoffs Update: 1978 Rematch Looming Edition?


My dad seems to think that Todd Frazier is a franchise fit for the Yankees, and I'm not inclined to disagree. The guy's been playing fantastically, has his own trademark symbol, and has been a North Jersey legend since the 90s. He's a Yankee through and through, and we should definitely re-sign the guy for a few years, because he's a bit more consistent than Chase Headley. (Keep Toe, though)

The Yanks have evened the series, behind a MARGINALLY BETTER Sonny Gray performance, with some help from Frazier, Sanchez and Judge. Tomorrow's Game 5, another Yankee Stadium performance, where they'll rally behind Masahiro Tanaka against Dallas Keuchel to hopefully continue the streak of fantastic performances and...not lead to a disappointing trip back from Houston.

Meanwhile...

Are we back to 2015 with a sweep of the Cubs? I mean, as great as the Cubs have been to root for, the Dodgers are making this pretty damned easy, with some more work from Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes to give a 3-0 lead with at least one more game to play in Chicago. Unless the Cubs can really spark some momentum tomorrow, we're looking at a World Series in Chavez Ravine for the first time since 1988. Which...actually might be cool, no matter who wins in the AL.

More exciting stuff tomorrow. Hoping for some 1978-esque outcomes.
