It's a whole new ballgame.
The schedule for the Toronto Maple Leafs' first round playoff series versus the Brantford Red Sox has been confirmed:
Game 1: Friday, July 31 @ Brantford, 8:00 p.m.
Game 2: Sunday, August 2 @ Toronto, 2:00 p.m.
Game 3: Tuesday, August 4 @ Brantford, 8:00 p.m.
Game 4: Wednesday, August 5 @ Toronto, 7:30 p.m.
*Game 5: Friday, August 7 @ Brantford, 8:00 p.m.
*Game 6: Sunday, August 9 @ Toronto, 2:00 p.m.
*Game 7: Monday, August 10 @ Brantford, 8:00 p.m.
* If necessary.
If you place the two ballclubs side to side, Brantford may have the edge.
In this year's season series, the Red Sox won three games. The Leafs won two.
In the last decade, the Red Sox have won seven IBL championships. The Leafs have won one.
In terms of late season momentum, the Red Sox went 6-4 in their last ten games. The Leafs went 2-8.
In terms of team hitting, the Red Sox averaged .277. The Leafs averaged .314.
In terms of team ERA, the Red Sox averaged 3.47. The Leafs averaged 5.72.
In terms of totemic ballpark presences, the Red Sox have Walter Gretzky. The Leafs have Heads Up On The Hill.
So it's a toss up, arguably.
One thing is for certain - the Mapes can put the regular season behind them, seize destiny by the throat and proclaim: "WE RUN TINGS, TINGS NUH RUN WE."**
Let's do this!
** Jamaican proverb, meaning "I am in charge of my own destiny".
