catlover79 October 25, 2019 Share October 25, 2019 Since when have all these managerial changes started happening while the playoffs are going on? Didn't that all have to wait until the World Series was over - or does that only apply to players? Good riddance to bad rubbish about Brandon Taubman. What a mess. 4 Link to comment
roamyn October 25, 2019 Share October 25, 2019 I know I'm supposed to be rooting for the AL team, but I can't help but really really want the Nats to win. I like seeing different teams be successful in the Post. They seem like a fun bunch, though I'm not too sure about that "baby shark" stuff, and what it is. 6 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay October 25, 2019 Share October 25, 2019 I love that everyone is talking about Craig Biggio! His son Cavan was soooooo good on the Blue Jays this year. 4 Link to comment

mojoween October 25, 2019 Share October 25, 2019 This anthem singer, is his name really D.C. Washington?!? I assume when Kurt Suzuki is introduced the crowd is saying “Suuuuuuuuu”. That’s a new one to me. I mean they could have been doing it all year and I wouldn’t know because I literally watched my first Nats game on TV like two weeks ago, heh. Link to comment

His name is really DC Washington and he's been singing the anthem here for about forever at all the venues for all the teams. I like him. As far as Suzuki... I've been to one Nats game this year because my bro was here from Italy and he hadn't been to the stadium yet. So ... I don't know the answer to that. 1 Link to comment

nittany cougar October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 (edited) Astros are back in this thing! I think they were wiped out in Game 1 due to short rest after the series with the Yanks. I loved seeing the fans in the stands in the rainbow shirts celebrating after the game. Edited October 26, 2019 by nittanycougar Link to comment
Ohwell October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 I figured the Astros wouldn't get swept and wouldn't go down without a fight. That said, I'm still hoping the Nats take the next two and this thing ends in DC. 10 Link to comment
Was-MArsenault October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 So I'm confused here. My Fox affiliate's schedule no longer has games 6 and 7 of the World Series, but other TV websites do. And I thought that today was the last World Series game and not tomorrow. Link to comment
cleo October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 I can't comment on the affiliate but the series is 2-1 for the Nats so there are at least 2 more games. Link to comment
nittany cougar October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 MikaelaArsenault, if necessary, Game 6 would be in Houston on Tuesday October 29. Game 7 would be in Houston on Wednesday October 30. Link to comment
Ohwell October 26, 2019 Share October 26, 2019 I sincerely hope that the baby shark crap isn't a curse on the Nats. Link to comment
Lantern7 October 27, 2019 Share October 27, 2019 Looks like the World Series is going best-of-3. Seriously not caring one way or the other. Curse of growing up, I guess. This was on the front page of the Daily News on Friday. Did the Mets interview Joe Girardi, or at least express interest? If not, then it seems like a mean swipe. Semi-Related News: Mickey Callaway will be the Angels' new pitching coach. Also, the Mets will be visiting Anaheim in August 2020. Should be interesting. 1 Link to comment
Was-MArsenault October 27, 2019 Share October 27, 2019 So it looks like the World Series will indeed be going on for Game 6... Link to comment
stealinghome October 27, 2019 Share October 27, 2019 I hope the last 2/3 games are better than the first 4--the games have pretty much all been lopsided. Boring games to watch. Link to comment

DoctorAtomic October 28, 2019 Share October 28, 2019 It doesn't seem so after a quick search. In 96, the road team won games 1 to 5. Link to comment
Was-MArsenault October 28, 2019 Share October 28, 2019 I had a good feeling that Houston would end up winning the whole thing. Hopefully this will be the last game tonight, but I'm pretty sure it will. Link to comment

The question is whether Scherzer can pitch in Game 7. Yesterday, ESPN reported that Scherzer was in so much pain that he could not even button his shirt. He has had back problems this season.

I've seen them on the news shows, heard them on the radio, etc. Blech. Apparently, they misinterpreted some very crucial lyrics over the years. It's "take me out to the ballgame", not "take them out at the ballgame"!! 😳😉😂 Edited October 29, 2019 by catlover79 2 Link to comment
xaxat October 29, 2019 Share October 29, 2019 MLB has been working on facial recognition for fans for a couple of years. I don't know where it's at now, but saying a person is banned might not be an idle threat. 1 1 Link to comment

Correction, more people at the games not watching the games. Topless night would be real popular.

DoctorAtomic October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) There's a 15+ minute delay for a ridiculous replay, so the next batter hacks away at the first pitch to pop out. I mean, make the pitcher pitch. (Of course, the next guy knocks it out.) Still though. Edited October 30, 2019 by DoctorAtomic 1 Link to comment
ebk57 October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 What a bullshit call... and what a beautiful home run! I kinda hate that the umpire has made me care about this game. 5 Link to comment
