Major League Championship Series

Game 3: New York wins 4-1 with homers by Ricky Buckley and Chad White.

Game 4: New York wins 4-3 behind a key homerun by Keith Lee, and Jaret Benser getting the final 4 outs to preserve the 1-run lead. New York leads the series 3-1 now.

Before Game 5, Brad announces that he will leave Denver to go back to New York and start reviewing game film for the upcoming world series, as he feels the Denver team has been beat.

Game 5: Kei Ijawa dominates New York with a complete game, 2-0 shutout. Ijawa's line is 9-4-0-0-1-10. Stan Marsh hits a key homer and the series shifts back to New York.

Game 6: Roger Chillingworth vs. Bill Neuman. New York takes a 4-2 lead into the top of the 7th. Eddie decides to go to money closer Jaret Benser for the final 3 innings, feeling its too important to trust this game to anyone else. In the top of the 7th, Stan Marsh hits a 2 run homer to tie the game. In the 9th, Denver rallies for a run, highlighted by a key pinch hit by Ron Vineyard (at Harvey the Robot's insistence) and an RbI single by Jack Hollis. Luther Trautwein shuts down New York in the 9th to preserve the 5-4 win.

Game 7: For the 3rd time in the series, both ace pitchers square off, Steven Hyde vs. Pedro Lewis. Its a pitchers duel all the way, and in the top of the 7th, its a 1-1 game. The two best teams in the league all year, for game 7 of the league championship series, it doesnt get any better than this.

In the top of the 9th, Denver rallies with runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. New York goes to Rudiger Rocker (aka the "wild thing") and he strikes out Hoffman. Then Harvey the Robot suggests they pinch hit with Ron "the masher" Vineyard. Rudiger gets him to line to short, with Brett Solo making a great leaping catch to end the inning.

In the bottom of the 9th, Denver gets the first 2 out. Then, Manfred Mueller singles. Justin Lewis then lifts a high pop fly to short left. The shortstop Ozzie Gaedell and leftfielder Jason Hopper collide trying to catch the ball, and by the time anyone realized what had happened, Manfred scores the series winning run without a throw.

New York wins the game 2-1, and the series 4-3.
