Get Set For Game 7

The topsy turvy world that is Duff Beer has one last surprise in store. After a regular season of shocking upsets, champions unseated and new blood taking the reigns.
But fate she is a cruel mistress to some.

Both the NL and AL league championship series will see a game 7.
A Richmond squad that seemed to be in the "Twilight" of their postseason run. Has now stumbled upon a sleeping giant in a very game Memphis team that seeks to claim it's first WS appearance.
The pedigree of Richmond will be tested as the winningest franchise in league history(438 regular season wins)will have to gut out a game 7 win to make it back to the big dance and become the first team to appear in and potentially win mutiple WS titles. But will the buzzsaw known as Memphis slow the momentum train and dethrone the king.

Minnesota has begun to experience a curious case of benjamin button type of regression. Going from 3-1 grissled veteran team to a 0-2 mistake filled bundle of nerves. To take nothing away from the Portland squad has come back from the brink of elimination to force a game 7.
Will this finally be the year of a Peyton Manning type breakthrough in the NLCS for Minnesota or will the give them the last ride and throw dirt over their Tombstone that reads "Here lies the Minnesota Baggies Season 1-4 RIP"
