Championship Game Tonight
So we're 3-0 in the playoffs now, and we play the White Sox for the championship of our Triple-A league tonight.
Since it's a double elimination tournament and they're 2-1, they have to beat us tonight and tomorrow to win the championship. We only have to win tonight to close it out.
If we don't win tonight, however, we'll be in dire shape for the Friday game since we may wind up being without both Jallah and Eian. Which combined with various pitching limits and our catching corps would have us playing not only without their bats and arms but have multiple players out of position. You really don't want somebody catching your championship game that has only caught one inning all season.
So it's kind of do or die tonight. We've beaten the White Sox twice this year - once was a serious thumping. But they've got depth (if not dominance) in their pitching, and they're well coached, and sound defensively, and they've got a few potent bats which can do damage. Anything can happen in baseball.
Wish us luck at 5:30 PST.
