seriously nothing wrong with a dodgers-astros world series if it happens.
Honestly, I would really enjoy it. My blood pressure would be low because I don't really have a rooting interest, but there's a TON of fun talent on both sides, and a lot of guys on both teams who haven't gotten a championship yet that I would like to see get one. And a team that hasn't won in almost 30 years, against a team that has never won. I think it will be good games and good for the sport, to be honest.

I am not quite sure actually. I've wondered that many times.

I still have trouble making it through Four Days In October.
Seriously, DDB was channeling my thoughts. Sox in 04 had a lot more seasoning than these astros.
And damnit there are still 9 outs to go, so it isnt over.

BTW:Fwiw grillzlies just beat warriors, with curry and durant tossed in the final minute (though memphis has an 8 point lead and the ball at that point). Is that a good or bad omen?

Also probably the two most talented teams in MLB.

Certainly the Dodgers are one of the two.

Yeah, even during the World Series, I walked into the bank the morning of game 4 where they knew me. One guy said ‘your Red Sox have it made now.’ I went all ‘Lowe goes tonight, who had a bad year; Wakefield tomorrow, got lit up in game 1’ etc., etc. They were like you’re paranoid. Yup.

Gotta love the the leftfielder's blasé pose after the centerfielder steals his ball.

Morton lost control in the 5th. don't think it was that bad to pull him.

you have to treat every pitcher like a reliever in a game 7, barring an ace

For people in the NY area, after the Game 4 comeback and the Game 5 shutout, how cocky were Yankee fans?
Suzyn was asking players how it felt to be one game from the World Series before game 6. She closed the intro with that line too.
