Diamondbacks 11, Dodgers 2

A good sight to see.

The AL East sent three teams to the postseason (including the top 2 teams with respect to wins) and they went a combined 0-7 - not winning a game! Birdland is shut down for the season. It was a wonderful run while it lasted.

The World Champion will be Astros or Rangers.

Hey -- Just like most years, the Dodgers played a few more games than the Giants ... and like every year, they have been eliminated by another team in the playoffs.

Congratulations to Torey Lovullo, the Arizona Diamonbacks, to Zac Gallen and Joe Mantiply.

Game 2 and Game 3 - Diamondbacks 4, Dodgers 2.

The Los Angeles Dodgers -- they really suck!

(It's been 35 years, since 1988, when they last won ** a World Series.)

** As for 2020? That's a joke. Sixty games played does not make for a real baseball season.

In 2023, the one hundred win teams - Rays (99), Orioles (101), Dodgers (100) and soon to be Atlanta Braves (104) will be teams that will be eliminated.

Congratulations to the Texas Rangers on becoming the 2023 World Series Champions.

Rangers 5, Diamondbacks 0

Bruce Bochy becomes only the third manager ever to win World Series Championships with two MLB teams, with the Giants (3 times) and the Rangers. Joining Hall of Fame managers Sparky Anderson and Tony La Russa in accomplishing that feat. Anderson did it with the Reds (2 times) and Tigers. La Russa did it with the A's and Cardinals (2 times)

If anyone has some spare change, Geddy Lee is auctioning off about 300 items from his collection in early December. Included is "a baseball signed by The Beatles during their Shea Stadium appearance in 1965."

This was kinda cool, and not likely to happen again anytime soon

The Sox won tonight in Balto. They are 5-5 against the Guardians, but 3-33 against the other three teams in their division.

The '62 Mets are cheering them on.

So are the 2003 Tigers. But just so they can get a step up.

Hope springs eternal! #LFGM

@legmann61 with prophecy.

Mets down by two runs going in the ninth, Pete Alonso with the big three run home run. Mets 4, Brewers 2. Mets now travel to Philadelphia to take on their nemesis Phillies in the divisional series.

Hey, the Dodgers are pretty good, huh?
