Do Or Die

170+ games comes down to this. The winner goes to the World Series. The loser joins 28 other teams in obscurity. After all, who lost the 1997 ALCS and NLCS? What about in 1987? Chances are, unless your favorite team was somehow involved, you have no idea. For the American League I think it was Baltimore in '97 and no idea for '87. Maybe Detroit? I can't even fathom a guess for the National League. Atlanta in '97? The Mets in '87? Whoever it was is irrelevant. As for who played in the 1997 World Series, Cleveland and Florida. 1987? Minnesota and St. Louis. I know that and I was two years old at the time.

Jake Westbrook vs. Diasuke Matsuzaka with the season on the line.

Don't let these past two games go to waste. Never mind that. Don't let these past 171 games go to waste.

To quote the legendary Ken Casey, "LET'S GO BOSTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
