I as well. The nation would like a Dodgers/Yankees WS, but
Indians/Dodgers or Astros/Nationals would be fine with me.
I won’t mind a Red Sox/Cubs WS either.
LET’S GO METS!
Twins
Worst to first!
My Cubs stole Tribe thunder last year. Indians are best this year. Close seconds: Houston, Nationals. D-backs sizzled for a while, but have lost it just a bit. Dodgers....naaah, not anymore.
Series will be Cleveland vs Cubs
Yankees fan BUT the Indians are playing lights out.. Indians are my pick.
LOLOL!! Love your spirit :-)
We love the Mets, after the Astros, of course ;-)
If the Indians get past the best-of-5 I think they win it. Pitching staff is incredibly deep and offense potent. All bets are off in the best of 5. Kluber loses the opener it gets scary.
Gotta go w/Arizona.
LOL...we just saw the Astros play the Red Sox, in Boston.
Great game, great crowd. We really enjoyed the city, Fenway/Big Green Monster, the people (EVERYONE asked us about Houston/Harvey/flooding) and, especially, all of the great historical sites.
Though with extended playoffs nowadays, the off season is shorter than in the past. The world series will end on November 1st if it goes the full 7 games. Barely 3 1/2 months later is when pitchers and catchers report.
The Nats didn't exactly look like giant killers in the last week either but Dusty Baker was resting his guys and letting the kids play.
I have no idea who will win, but I’d bet serious money on Dusty Baker, yet again, failing to close the deal in the post-season.
Lurking the path of the Nats is a manager who will manage rings around Dusty. Just ask Mike Sciosia, Jim Leyland and Bruce Bochy.
Do you have insider info that the Yankees are picking up Otani?
The Indians.
aint gonna happen
sox have no pitching, past sale
porcello sucks, price is damaged...
they be lucky to win two against houston...
In ‘66, it was the O’s over LA in 4.
