And they only played in one ALCS in ‘82 (which I attended! It was great! County stadium!)

Using the model:
Yankees = evil
Astros = evil
White Sox, Tigers, Royals, Guardians = rivals, so no
… this will be the least ugh ALCS since the 2002 Rally Monkeys vs the Twins. Then 1992 Jays-A’s.

With the Mariners’ win, the Twins now have the longest AL drought since their last ALCS appearance (23 seasons, since 2002)

Whatever you do Mariners don’t get a runner on 2nd with no outs and you can win this thing

Some Triple-A pitcher who’s been sitting in a roomful of empty Coors Light cans for 3 weeks is gonna be on the ALCS roster

Winner of this game is looking at a “Bullpen Series” against Toronto at this rate.

Tiger-Mariners has officially reached the "Game 163 in 2009" stage when all kinds of weird $#!+ happened before the Twins beat the Tigers 6-5 in 12 innings. Waiting for Alexi Casilla to get the game-ending hit for Bobby Keppel's only MLB win.
