Into Clinching Position

 The Mets are at 3-0 in the NLCS. One more win over the Cubs and they take it.

The Royals are at 3-1 in the ALCS. One more shellacking of the Blue Jays, and they go back to the World Series.


You know...I could deal with a Mets-Royals World Series. I'd much rather have a Cubs-Royals series, but the Cubs don't have a ton of steam left, though they did stick into the race with the Mets tonight, and tied it for a while.

The game could change entirely tomorrow. And I really hope it does.

Custom Card of the Day: Rios Edition

Jeez, it feels like the Rangers just got everybody after they lost everybody.

Like, they gave up Hamilton and Young before the season, which was a lovely idea, and then half the roster got injured, including Lance Berkman and Neftali Feliz. And now they snapped up people like Alex Rios and Matt Garza in an effort to do...exactly what they do every year, just snatch people.

Does this pay off? Well, I haven't heard a damn thing about both Rios and Garza since they were traded, so it doesn't really appear so.

More reason to root for the Athletics.

Coming Tomorrow- The closer for...hey, I was just talking about them, the Athletics!

Year by Year Customs: 1981

 

Sort of a slow day in comparison to yesterday's lineup. Still, I love this design, and I used a few teams I hadn't before for it.

 

I feel like he's done the best out of the Oakland Three from back in the day, with Barry Zito coming close behind. 

 

Now a member of the Royals.

 

Coming Tomorrow- Another great 1980's design.
