“I guess the NFL has no standards left to be proud of.”

Almost related...

I’m no longer a MLB fan, but even so, NL vs. NL in the World Series is just WRONG, even if you don’t like the DH.

I’m not sure what you mean... the Astros are a FORMER National League team, but have been rebuilt since then as an American League team. And, since you are no longer an MLB fan, you wouldn’t know that the American League Astros are extremely respectable, decent, and self-effacing. The youngsters of Altuve, Correa, and Springer are very humble (in public), and deserve their success from working hard.

/yes, I am an Astros fan, from the early 80’s on. Yes, I whinged and complained about the move to the American League, specifically the West with all the late night game starts... and Yes, I’m extremely pleased the team brought in Verlander.

Thanks, another poster since corrected me, and I realized how long it’s been since I was a fan, and I used to be a serious one, especially in May 1991 for Ryan’s last no-hitter.

Nolan Ryan sent me an autographed baseball card once upon a time. Still have it.

Altuve and the Astros will make short work of the Dodgers, Kershaw can’t pitch every night.
