We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Bandwagon

Part-way through the AL and NL championship rounds, we welcome bandwagon fans. Come on board, we’ll make room for everyone and don’t let anyone tell you you don’t belong. It’s our job to try to keep you, not disregard you for not being born into a baseball-loving family. Besides, bandwagon fans are the most fun to explain superstitions and rituals to. Same seats! No he CANNOT shave that terrible beard. Yes, I wore that shirt last time too.
We thank Dodgers’s fans for their disregard of our warnings about the Wave, as that lead to back to back homers by our Nats BFs Rendon and Soto. Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer reprise their feat of 2013, the last time two pitchers took no hitters past the 5th inning in back to back post-season games. Daniel Hudson is a dad first, then a relief pitcher, so go back to scaring kids off your lawn, old mean guys.
The only distraction from the developing Sanchez no-no in Game 1 was the crotch grabbing of Juan Soto and Card’s starting pitcher Mike Mikolas. Their own. Not each other’s. Also distracting but in a good way, Marcell Ozuna’s neon yellow sleeve -- I mean, we like it, but why is that allowed and Contreras’ Venezuelan flag sleeve not? Can you say Nike? Astros players can’t stop calling DJ LeMahieu incredible. So he was.
Padres pitcher Jacob Nix gets tazed and then arrested for entering his house through the doggie door. Because it wasn’t his house. And he doesn’t own a dog.
The Tyler Skaggs story continues as we learn that Eric Kay, the Director of Communications for the Angels had been supplying the pitcher with Oxy for years. Kay’s family insists they alerted the Angels organization multiple times that Skaggs was using, to no avail. This is only going to get uglier.
Both the Astros and Yankees have closers on the NCiB Never Gonna Be a Boyfriend list (Roberto Osuna and Aroldis Chapman have both been suspended in the past for domestic abuse) so neither team gets an official show endorsement. Instead, and surprising no one, we are all Nats, All the Time from here on out. Look for us in the nosebleeds.
