Tomorrow afternoon some of the more storied franchises in SW History will take the field for a slew of game five's.

All four world series champions, as well as runner ups from two of the world series, are playing for their seasons in the PM cycle.

The defending champion Pawtucket Polythene relied on ace Chris Ramirez (2-0 this series) to tie things up in game 4 tonight, and for the second year in a row will face season 2 world series champion Texas in an NLDS Game 5. The Polythene are looking to go to their 4th straight NLCS, while the Tittyballs, who defeated Pawtucket in the season 2 NLCS, look to get back there for the first time in 3 seasons.

In the other NLCS, regular season champion Rochester looks to win its first ever playoff series when they take the field for game 5 against San Francisco. The Sourdoughs were the NL's first pennant winner in season 1, but have struggled heavily since then. A team aiming on completing its rebuilding in season 6, they find themselves a win away from competing with the season 4 Norfolk franchise as the NL's most unlikely LCS team. A loaded Rhinos team, which has neither the bats of Texas nor the arms of Pawtucket, but overall is arguably more loaded than both teams, stand in their way.

And in the most surprising game five of this years LCS, the Louisville Freezer Monkeys head back to Kansas City to take on the far superior Shuffle in what could be one of the greatest upsets in league history. The Shuffle won their season 1 LDS series 3 games to 2, and since then they've gone an astounding 9-1 in LDS play, being the only team to make it to the final four every year in Sharkey's World history. But the Freezer Monkeys, who suffered their worst season in franchise history (81-81), and have already been eliminated by the Shuffle twice in their history (season 2 & 4), are one win away from shocking the world. History is very much against them, but history has proven time and time again that in 9 short innings, the best team doesn't always win.

Good luck to all teams, and of course to Charleston, who are now officially the biggest Louisville fans outside of Kentucky.
