Astros over Dodgers in 4.

What? I don't have a death wish- what are you talking about?


(Seriously, Dodgers in 5.)

As a SoCal native, I will drink the Dodger Kool-Aid as well. Their pitching is way deeper than Houston's.

I gotta give Houston a chance. The Dodgers will have their hands full with the Astros. I predict it will go at least 6 games.

Fun fact: the last time two teams with 100+ wins competed in the World Series was 1970 (Baltimore and Cincinnati, both with 102 regular season wins).

The World Series begins tonight! Hopefully the Astros will do better this time around, although I'm still sticking with the Dodgers, just because.

The game last night was the shortest world series game since game 4 of the 1992 world series.

I hate games that neither team wants to win.

The Dodgers and Astros combine to hit eight home runs in Game 2, a World Series record.  Also the two teams combined to hit five home runs in extra innings, the most in a postseason game ever.

Another managerial vacancy now exists in MLB as the Yankees and Joe Girardi part ways.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

Astros bullpen implodes in the 9th.   Series is going back to LA.

Astros 1B Yuli Gurriel will serve a five-game suspension at the start of next season for making a "slant eyes" gesture at Yu Darvish after homering off him in game 3. Gurriel has since shown contrition for his gesture.
