Ohhhh boy. This classic Yankee hater is bracing for a Bronx Pennant which I was NOT prepared for this year.

But Gary Sanchez and company are making it a magical fall for a team that has upset one 100 win team and on the verge of beating another one.

Meanwhile the defending Champs are alive for another day… now here comes Kershaw.

So who owned October?

Each winning team for every post season game gets a pitcher and a hitter who earn a full WOO (Who Owns October.)

And at my discretion, I award a 1/2 WOO’S to a worthy player on the losing team.

At the end of the post season, we will see who had the highest WOO total as a pitcher and a hitter.

A complete description of the rules can be found HERE.

From October 18

2017 ALCS Game 5:
2017 NLCS Game 4:

Receiving 1 WOO

Jake Arrieta struck out 9 Dodgers over 6 2/3 innings, giving up 3 hits including a solo homer to earn the 3-2 decision for the Cubs.

Javier Baez homered twice to save the Cubs season by topping the Dodgers, 3-2.

Gary Sanchez got a pair of hits, including a homer, driving in 2, to help the Yankees beat Houston, 5-0.

Masahiro Tanaka threw 7 shutout innings allowing 3 hits while striking out 8 Astros to put the Yankees on the brink of the pennant, 5-0.

Receiving 1/2 WOO

Yuri Gurriel doubled to give the Astros their lone offensive highlight as they were blanked 5-0 by the Yankees.

Justin Turner reached base 4 times and homered in the Dodgers 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
