Picking against the teams I actually wanted to win seemed to work out in the division series.

WTF,I never heard of that guy before. Scott Elbert, wow.

Peavy is the the man. Now that he’s gotten off the snide he’s going to be money in all of his future post-season appearances, green money.

Or maybe not.

It works in football: If my math was right, I was 10-4 with my picks. I think you were 9-5.

I actually still used a VCR up till maybe 5 or 6 years ago, when it broke. I had one of those Maxell tapes.

Now VCR’s are all but gone, like pay phones.

I hear people still use fax machines.

I still have 2 VCRs; they both worked the last time they were used, ~10 years ago.

Want one?

“I hear people still use fax machines.”

Most lawyers I know still use fax machines, yes.

3 man MLB ping list

IN game 1, Mattingly had Kershaw at 66 pitches coming to the plate to bat in the 5th after 5 innings of work.
Up 6-2, he could have PINCH HIT and planned for game 4 on short rest.
Woulda been gutsy. But he stayed with Kershaw ... and stayed ... for 110 pitches, including 29 in that fateful 7th.

And still, Kershaw comes back on short rest.

How will it play out in the next 90 minutes?

So, will it be a Beltway World Series or an I-70 World Series?

Another inning too far for Kershaw.

Would you like to adjust that prediction?

Heck no, I want KC to win and picking against them worked in divisional round! ;d

Switching predictions after the series starts is a no no anyway.

Picking SF to win the NL.

I was at games 2 and 7 sitting on the 3rd base line in 85. What a series.

I think after tonight I am starting to believe we could do it again. Went to 4 Royals spring training games and didn’t see anything that led me to expect how the season is turning out.

Good God! I never saw that play.

Who’s dumber, the chump who ran the wrong way or the chumps on the other team that stopped him from going all the way for a safety? I’d go with the later.

Too bad KC & SF couldn’t play for the WS; it would be a true meeting of two caller dwellers.

Should have said KC vs. BAL.
