Wouldn’t that be great if the Astros win their first World Series Championship by plowing through the Red Sox, the Yankees and the Dodgers?

Actually baseball used to be a great game to watch. Growing up, I used to go to Fenway Park dozens of times a year, on my newspaper route money. The games moved a lot quicker then. An average 9 inning game might be done in two hours.
Now the games drag on to a ridiculous four hours or more. All the commercial breaks for TV, the pitching changes, the conferences on the mound, the batters continuously moving in and out of the batter's box to scratch their balls in order to throw the pitcher's timing off, etc.
Then watching home on TV, you get all that mindless chitter-chatter between pitches by the announcers and the distracting whiz-bang graphics.
Wasn't always that way. When I went as a boy, I used to actually score the games with a pencil and the game program. That forced you to pay attention to every pitch. Nobody does that anymore.

Actually baseball used to be a great game to watch.I actually enjoy going to an occasional baseball game. A beautiful day, brats and beer, and good conversation with friends. An occasional bit of excitement. Marginally better than beer, brats and friends on a back porch.

He’ll almost certainly be the Cy Young Award winner, but he certainly didn’t look like “The Klubot” in his two outings against the Yankees.
BTW, Luis Severino ought to get more attention in the Cy Young race than he will get. Severino may well have been the best pitcher in the league this year.

I am of two minds. I hate the Spankees so do I a.) hate them so much I want to see the Dodgers beat their ass? or b.) Hate them so much I don't want them anywhere near the Series.
I think I choose B in honor of all the Texas freepers. I think it would be cool for them to have the happiness of seeing their team take an ass whoopin' by the boys in blue. :)

Interesting, two Astros regulars were Yankees as recently as July of last year: McCann and Beltran.

Now six straight potential series-winning games that CLE has lost going back to last year.
