Hoo-boy. Two swings, two game-deciders for your 2018 NLCS MVP from your La-La Land Los Doyers, Mistah Cody Bellinger. The first of those swings won the marathon 13-inn. Game 4, which kept the series a series. And then last night, in Game 7, this 700-ft. bomb, which effectively clinched a second consecutive Nat’l. League pennant for your Los Doyers. Here we go again.
If we never hear the name Jessica Chastain Joshua Hader again, it will mean that Messrs. Jos. Buck & J. Smoltz have been silenced forever. They will have to find a new hurler to fixate on. Pedro Baez, anyone?
