In Major League Baseball, the American League Division Series (ALDS) determines which two teams from the American League will advance to the American League Championship Series. The Division Series consists of two concurrent best-of-five series, featuring the three division winners and a wild-card team (the non-division winning team with the best record).
The Division Series was implemented in 1981 as a result of a midseason strike, with the first place teams before the strike taking on the teams in first place after the strike. After 1993, it was implemented for good when Major League Baseball restructured each league into three divisions, but their next playing was in 1995 due to the cancellation of the 1994 playoffs. In 1981, a split-season format forced the first ever divisional playoff series, in which the New York Yankees won the Eastern Division series over the Milwaukee Brewers (who were in the American League until 1998) in five games while the Oakland Athletics swept the Kansas City Royals in three games in the Western Division. The Yankees have currently played in the most division series in history, with fifteen appearances. The Toronto Blue Jays are the only team to have never played in the ALDS and are the last team to win the World Series under the old 4 division format.
Look, simply said, I'm a pioneer of my area
Wrote my first line on some paper, I thought I'd share it witcha
I got a mic in 10th grade 'cause of a homie
Who didn't need it, I needed it 'cause I ain't have no money
To buy a mic of my own, I wasn't rich like the other kids
But my mama tried, she ain't doubt me like the others did
Made an account on MySpace so I can publicly
Share my mentality with others, all they did was fuck wit me
Lies on top of lies, all these comments used to fuck wit me
But I had someone at all times, I was luckily
Able to make a change in my game, I switched my flow up
Spit my first sick verse, felt like I had thrown up
I had the voice of a boy, I'm finally grown up
Got my name around but I don't feel like I am known enough
Glorification's my dedication in progress
Tryna be remembered, damn it's a long process
I hope my music will help me become a better man
'Cause there's so many things about me I don't understand
& if you think you know me then you got the upper hand
Cryin' to my grandma reachin' out for an elder's hand
I swear I was depressed when she left us
But God has kept me strong since she left, I'm glad He blessed us
There's only one thing that I regret
Not going to say good bye in the hospital 'fore she left
Every time I take step pass her door, I think see her
Maybe that's my conscious tellin' me that I now need her
However I'm happy that God freed her
I know grandpa was smilin' the moment that he had seen her
I know they're up in heaven & they're happy now
Life just kinda hit me really hard wit a crappy smile
How many people can tell you that they enjoy life?
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born.
And now it's all right. it's ok.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The new york times effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin alive, stayin alive.
Feel the city breakin and everybody shakin,
And were stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive, stayin alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high,
And if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right.its ok.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
The new york times effect on man.

1st verse
Girl, close your eyes
Let that rhythm get into you
Don't try to fight it
There aint nothin that you can do
Relax your mind
Lay back and groove with mine
You got to feel the heat
And we can ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away
2nd verse
Out on the floor
There aint nobody there but us
Girl, when you dance
There's a magic that must be love
Just take it slow
Cause we got so far to go
When you feel that heat
And were gonna ride the boogie
Share that beat of love
Chorus
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Dance you into day (sunlight)
I wanna rock with you (all night)
Were gonna rock the night away
Bridge
And when the groove is dead and gone (yeah)
You know that love survives
So we can rock forever, on
Refrain
I wanna rock with you
I wanna groove with you
I wanna rock with you

(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave some day
(Together) Your hand in my hand
(Together) We will make our plan
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do:
(Go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
(Together) We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and strive
(I love you) I know you love me,
(I want you) how could I disagree?
(So that's why) I make no protest
(When you say) you will do the rest
(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) baby, you and me
(Go west) this is our destiny
(Go west) sun in winter time
(Go west) we will do just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
There, where the air is free
We'll be (we'll be) what we want to be
Now, if we make a stand
We'll find (we'll find) our promised land!
(I know that) there are many ways
(To live there) in the sun or shade
(Together) we will find the place
(To settle) where there's so much space
(Without rush) And the pace back east
(The hustling) rustling just to feast
(I know I'm) ready to leave too
(So that's why) we are gonna do
(Oh, what we're gonna do is...)
(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) there, in the open air
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west) This is what we're gonna do...
(Life is peaceful there)
Go west (In the open air)
Go west (Baby, you and me)
Go west (This is our destiny) Come on, come on, come
on, come on
(Go west) Sun in winter time
(Go west) we will feel just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that is real
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
And if its quite alright
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Trust in me when I say its okay
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
I can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off You
I need you baby
And if it's quite all right
I need you baby
To warm the lonely nights
I love you baby
Now trust in me when I say its okay
Oh pretty baby
Don't bring me down I pray
Oh pretty baby
Now that I've found you stay
And let me love you, baby
Spirit move me every time I'm near you
Whirling like a cyclone in my mind
Sweet baby,angel of my life time,
Answer to all answers I can find
Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
Baby take me hight upon a hillside
High up where the stallion meets the sun
I could love you,
build my world around you,
Never leave you till my life is done
Baby I love you Come, come,
come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
and baby I want you,
now, now, oh now, oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last
now could it be magic
Come, come on,come on
come oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,oh now and hold on fast
Could this be the magic at last.
Could it be magic

come, come on,come on,come,oh come into my arms
Let me know the wonder of all of you
Baby I want you,
now, now, oh now,now oh now and hold on fast
just months have passed by,
was the last time you said this to me
i want to freeze this time
ill end myself, before i take another lie
ill stare right into your eyes
ill say it this time
say what Ive held, for all these years
liquidate my fears
concrete this sweat
so come this way
close your eyes
make no noise
dont let me escape
from your heart
dont let me escape
from your mind
nows not the time
to tell me it was the truth all along.
youve failed me
and now youve proven what
what was my worst nightmare.
proctecting you from your own
got down me on my knees
screaming for a lie
tell me what i need
to hear
all the things that you said
all the things you'd done
when did you become so worthless?
why did you leave me behind?
why did you leave me behind?
how do you feel now
now all you lived for, is gone
read my hopeless words
after me
you'll be no more
say your worst
to my face
i know you want
more than
i can give
since the beginning of time
Ive fooled around within your sight
not giving a fuck what you think
coz you are nothing to me
you are what itches beneath my lip
i want to pull you from my ribs
no theres nothing to see
for whats been done to you
makes my life that much easier
makes my mind so much more relaxed
forget this face
forget that life
you think you see eye to eye
but what i see within you
just passes by
turbulence
rocks your buried memories
are you sick of me yet?
see what ive accomplished
see what i have overcome
when you look my way,
i hope the jealousy...
eats you alive
i want to forgive
i want to forget
but its back through time now
no turning back
no turning back
youve become what ive always hated
As I see your face,
drowning in the tears,
that you brought upon yourself
and now all you hold in your hand,
is regret
the truth is the hardest part to swallow,
as the mask you wear, has molded to your face
the guilt will eat away at your soul,
through this endeavor of recrence
the sadistic self loathing,
being beneath the skin was,
to show no mercy,
to these blood-stained waters
of condemned souls and fallen dreams
what have you become in this world?
as you ask yourself why,
why am i even here?
you'll choke on regret in
these blood stained waters
as i am treading through these fluid thickened waves,
its getting harder to breathe
as i look to sky
will it be the last thing that i see?
as im gasping for air
now im gasping for air
as i tread into the depths of this ocean
will he welcome me with open arms?
this a time
when all we remember is in the past
in the past where it all belongs
the longing to find something
within these hollow grounds
well lead me to my death
and there i shall
stay within
these minds will
take away the heart Ive surely earn t
for now you see
this hour-glass
wastes away
the sand at which your feet lay
this feeling will chose this path
tidal waves
take away the homes been built from stone
where the rest of time
eats away at nothingness inside
there's no turning from me
for the way you seem
sunshine
is covered by the clouds above
here comes the storm
lightning crashes to the grave
if this is,
what you would want me to be?
here comes the storm
lightning crashes to my grave
if this is...
tell me what you want me to be.
follow me
if you see
an escape to my world
swallow me
i can be
the air to your life
my hatred cant,
end this now,
because you are
so blind
because your blind
follow me
if you see
an escape to my world
swallow me
i can be
the air to your life
He sits in lonliness,
watch him waste away
knives in a casket
heart between the blades
soul taken from him,
how could you take his soul?
hand full of liquor, to make it quicker
why take his soul?
it was a simple fucking day
no poisen, no cuts, no pain
dove soaring high, above him
bearing the message of shame
one swallow
twenty circlular deaths
forty torturess times
three years, no less
now youve
forgotten him
youve left him
behind
he cried to the sky,
he cried to the stars,
he cried to his god
but nothing so far
can it really be true?
this omen cant confuse a mind without a key
but cannons were fired,
burying all hopes to the sea
blood dripping
to the end of the bottle
of empty promises
in his hand
blue lips of the devil
weighting his fate down
sounds in the distance
he doesnt understand
help him god
bring her back
so he cried to the sky
and he cried to the stars
nothing will bring her back
he removes his scars
so he he cried to the sky
and he cried to the stars
let me free
these wounds will never
be forgotten
these wounds will never
Sick and paranoid,
Left alone to go insane.
Thoughts built to destroy Your mental mainframe.
Lies to find the truth has died.
Open my mind to see the outside.
Never meant to feel the fear in comatose for half a year.
My world's in ruins, my world's in flames.
Well I'm Barely Alive in a world that's half dead.
Hard to survive when you know in your head
that prosper and thrive are words never said
when you're barely alive in a world that's half dead.
Losing everything, pretty soon I'll have nothing to show.
No I cannot think until I've found somewhere to go.
Lies have found this hell around.
It's over now so burn it to the ground.
Never meant to feel the fear,
been comatosed for half a year.
My world in ruins, my world in flames.
Well I'm Barely Alive in a world that's half dead.
Hard to survive when you know in your head
that prosper and thrive are words never said
when you're barely alive in a world that's half dead.
(Instrumental)
Not enough to survive. not enough to keep us alive.
Not enough to survive. Not enough, not enough...
Well my world in ruins, my world in flames.
Cause I'm Barely Alive in a world that's half dead.
Hard to survive when you know in your head
that prosper and thrive are words never said
