Can we just collectively admit now that we know absolutely nothing when it comes to the future?

God it makes me so happy thinking about how much those folks behind home plate paid to watch this.
Taco Bell is like In n Out. You can’t let it congeal. You get five minutes. Maybe 10.
It's amazing how close these Nats were to being eliminated. Twice. Now they're looking unstoppable.
Why did Houston change all their pitchers for the WS? They should have brought those who dominated the MFY, those were good.
They probably will because it’s baseball, but they came into this series thinking they were just there to collect a trophy. They’ve been punched squarely in the mouth and don’t look like they can respond so far.
It's still beyond my comprehension that the Red Sox blew that series, just incredible.
But I digress.
Yes but without people saying how things will go with complete certainty means we would lose several hundred posts each day here at SoSH.
As a Nationals fan with tickets to game 5, I can’t really root for a split in the first two games in DC, but I wouldn’t be upset if that happened.
After seeing this I’m happy the Pats have the Jets game behind them. You never know.
Fuck, this really is 1986 redux isn't it?
* Scrappy upstart team that really wasn't expected to make it to the World Series.
* A powerhouse at its peak
Road team wins the first game by one run.
Road team wins game two by a blowout.
FUUUUUUUUUCK.

This is spot on.
I really don't see how they can flip a switch and win 4 out of the next 5.
We'll see.
No, I’m fortunate to be in a season ticket group and we get a few and I lucked out.
I instantly remembered this:

To be fair, Proehl was right.
It’s uphill for sure but they have really good players. They need to win the next one. Then it’s a series.
Of course, the dream scenario is still in play — Osuna never getting to throw a pitch this series.
Nice. I didn’t pay enough attention to the WS ticket sale dates. It’s not Fenway or the Sox, but I’ve enjoyed adopting the Nats since I moved/was dumped by Katrina here in ‘05.
Of course, but they really haven’t shown anything that would suggest it.
It's almost as if people will still fill out their fantasy line ups, head to the sportsbook, or guess the results of any given sporting event on messgeboards. Who cares? It's kinda part of the fun of watching and following sports, ya know.
I heard on the radio earlier today that as an Astro Verlander has never thrown a single pitch to anyone other than Chirinos. Not sure if true, but if it is, the fact that the second pitch he threw to someone else was the go ahead home run in the World Series is a cool story.
I do the same things. The only thing I am pointing out is that we should probably not act as certain as we do about outcomes. In this forum alone, I have heard the Yankees weren't going to lose a game in the post-season and that neither the Cards nor the Nats could give anyone in the AL a series.
Okay, this is getting beyond ridiculous at this point.
Raise your hand if you thought the Nationals would be leading 12-2 in the Verlander/Strasburg matchup.
