October Baseball

[Boothroyd]

Hard to see Houston losing the series if they go up 3-2, returning home for the last two games.

LOL You caught me! I figure when the Os are done anything goes.

[tie219]

Very much a Yankees fan but it's very cool to be living in Houston right now. Hard not to root for the Astros with all of the energy

We see many of you at the “new” Yankee stadium.

3-2 let’s see what game 6 brings

[brandrea]

It’s definitely not a homer series

[TheVTCGuy]

How are the Padres doing?

[Boothroyd]

They are scheduled to win next year, Paul. Keep the faith! And they start wearing traditional brown uniforms again next season. Buying season tickets?

[McLovin]

I predict an Orioles-Padres World Series next year Paul.

It would be a sign of the end of days, but why not?

Twins-Braves in 1991--both were literally the last place teams in their leagues in 1990. Anything can happen.

I heard fans down by home plate got quite the show last game. Nobody was expecting the twins to be in town.

LOL! I know of what you reference! Banned for life from MLB ballparks. But we thank them!

[GB-man]

Well looks like I’ll be watching my first full game of the year. We have game 7 WS baseball boys.

I guess I'm a rare bird these days, watch full baseball games all the time, great sport even with the updated strategy and all or nothing dinger or strikeout.

Last nights game 6 was a keeper, watched the whole thing, great game, best of the series. Tonight should be a doozie to!!

I use to watch all the time back in the late 90s early 2000s. I hated the sox long before the pats. I never even wanted to visit mass until I got into beer and caved

[brandrea]

Why can’t anyone win at home

Why are people so free and easy with their hatred of my sports teams. I get the sick and tired of our winning part but we've had suckdom far longer than we've had success. Yet it's completely natural to point out that my teams are loathsome when if I do the same I get jumped on for being a poor sport or a bad winner.

Yeah, but no team in NFL history can match the Pats success over the past 2 decades.

Just like those who love to hate the Yankee's, the greatest team in sports !

As much as we may disagree on who to root for, we can agree that we both love baseball. I also watch games a-z regardless of team sometimes. When traveling for business I always try and make it to the local stadium.

I felt this WS was interesting for games 1/2 then 3-5 we a bit boring & game 6 last night was a nice game ups and downs etc.

May the best team win tonight game 7 of the World Series this is what it’s all about. Will history be made?

[Boothroyd]

Hard not to like the enthusiasm of the Nationals. 3-2, Game 7, top of the eighth.

[Boothroyd]

Table set for Nationals at 4-2.

[wantonebad]

Congrats to the Nationals, they had the resolve, they had the "fight" and the Stros just couldn't get a key hit. In the end Houston went gently. Surprising, and record breaking, the home team lost every single game... mind numbing and the total antithesis of what you expect in a championship series.

DC is going to go nuts and that's great, they were the better team!!

[texasmade]

DC beating Verlander twice and Cole once was really impressive. They deserve the title for that alone.

[Boothroyd]

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals, 2019 World Series Champions. Home team lost every game. Incredible!

(And only the Seattle Mariners have not appeared in a World Series of all 30 MLB franchises after this season).

Marc I am a Yankees and Bills fan from buffalo who rooted for the lakers growing up. I hear you but I was born to hate Boston Sports. Don't take it personally if they aren't talking about you its because you aren't doing anything.

I'll admit I did like Francona and Papi. I am forbidden from saying anything positive about the pats though. I have a family to think of

Look you're a good guy, but don't presume to tell me what to care about and what not. Moreover it's a little hypocritical don't you think, what's more personal then "hate"?

[RichM]

Congratulations to the Washington Nationals and their fans.

[GoingPlaces]

Congratulations to the Nationals! 95 years is a long time. Well earned and done on what was an epic series.

[AzPaul]

Wonder if the Nationals will vote Kershaw a playoff share?

[joeychitwood]

As a kid, I could name every Minnesota Twins player and recite their stats. But today, since Joe Maurer retired, I couldn’t name one. Last evening, I considered watching Game Seven, but opted for something else. I’m a sports fan in general, but my interest in baseball has dropped to zero.
