Well...he missed...but he did crop-dust me as he fell to the ground. Lay off the liverwurst, bud, and go see a doctor. That ain't natural.

...dumbass...it wasn't liverwurst...it was garlic brats...

...idiot...

... and just like that the Bosox are done.

Good things can happen in Texas after all.

Ian Anderson (not the Jethro Tull Ian) gets tabbed for the mound tonight.

I cannot believe the Braves are going to the World Series .

Nightmare scenario for the networks. Houston and Atlanta, with no New York, Boston or LA.

Sucks to be them

I hear the commish is planning on moving Games 3, 4 and 5 to Denver due to JIM CROW ON STEROIDS!!!

[lineygoblue]

That is a good point, though. They moved the All Star game, but now the World Series is going to be played there?

Racists!!!!!!!

IDK man, aren't you sad about Bill Plaschke's feelings being hurt?

Braves vs Astros. Nice World Series matchup. Either Dusty Baker (Verlander too, technically?) or the Braves win a championship. I'm happy either way.
Crazy the Braves made it here with the key players that are out. Ozuna, Acuna, and Soroka. Though when you have a player like Eddie Rosario having the stretch of his life... guess that helps.

Go Braves!

I'm fine with either team winning, although as a huge Justin Verlander fan, I'd probably lean toward the Astros. As long as its not the BoSox, Yankees or Dodgers, I'm fine.

I hope it can be worked out for when Verlander is done, that he can get one of those "one day contracts" with the Tigers, so he can retire a Tiger. Wouldn't surprise me to see him bounce back in 2021 and be an effective pitcher. Verlander is a tough guy, and if anyone can come back from Tommy John, he can.

You mean 2022.

Good catch. Yes, I did.

You know, as a huge baseball fan, I still kinda feel it amazing that MLB ballparks have different dimensions. Wall height, left, center, right, outfield wall contour and shape, and warning tracks all vary greatly. Imagine if football did this? “Coach Harbaugh, Michigan visits Michigan State this weekend. How much will Spartan Stadiums 17-yard deep endzones, and 70-yard field width affect your team considering you are used to Michigan’s 8-yard endzones and 45-yard field width?”
