Baseball ⚾️ Playoff Preview
To this day the best playoff season ever happened way back in 1986.
The Angels had a 3-1 lead on the Red Sox in the American League championship series and the Sox came back to win. The reliever who blew it for the Angels actually committed suicide a few years later.
In the National League the Astros-Mets series was the most entertaining series I’ve ever seen that didn’t involve the Yankees. I was working with Kevin Bass’ Dad on the job in San Jose.
Kevin Bass was an outfielder for the Astros. I was rooting hard for Kevin’s Dad.
And then the World Series was epic. I am not a fan of either the Mets or Red Sox but man. That was one for the ages and I was rooting for Boston!
Tells you how much I hated that Mets team.
This year, the playoffs may be even better. There are 4 games today - the wild card round - the Yankees have time off because they earned a bye.
I see it this way:
Cleveland over Tampa.
Seattle over Toronto (upset)
Cardinals over Phillies
Padres over Mets (upset)
So round two:
Astros over Seattle
Yankees over Cleveland
Braves over Cardinals
Dodgers over Padres
Which takes us to the championship series:
Braves over Dodgers
Yankees over Astros
Which leads us to the World Series:
Yankees versus Braves.
We will talk about that as we get closer.
A lot can happen in a couple of weeks.
This year has the chance to upend 1986.
Best part?
The Red Sux aren’t involved.
They finished in the basement!
