It was the best of games, it was the worst of games, it was the age of wise Ausmus decisions, it was the age of foolish, it was the epoch of belief in victory, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of the Lit Halo, it was the season of the Dark Sky, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had Trout and Ohtani before us, we had Allen and Cahill and Harvey and Lucroy and Bour and Cozart and Bourjos before us, we were going direct to the World Series, we were going direct the other way.
