ebk57 October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 Shit, the more I think about that fucking umpire, the angrier I get. How dare he insert himself into the game like that on such a bullshit call. Dammit. 5 Link to comment
stealinghome October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) Ball Don’t Lie. also that Nationals pitcher looks like Seth Rogen and it weirds me out. ETA: Joe Torre is doing no one any favors by trying to claim that was the right call. Just shut up, Joe. Edited October 30, 2019 by stealinghome 4 Link to comment

Was-MArsenault October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 So there’s going to be a Game 7 after all... Link to comment
Lantern7 October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 If a Game 7 happens and barely anyone watches, does it actually happen? I’m thinking the game will end around 12:30 a.m, Eastern time. 3 Link to comment
cleo October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) So bat flips > bat carries but I can't believe the consternation around this. As long as they're not hitting people with the bat as they go around who cares? Oh I forgot, playing baseball the Proper Way means never doing anything the slightest bit spontaneous or you know, actually having fun. Edited October 30, 2019 by cleo 7 Link to comment
nittany cougar October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 I am kind of rooting for both teams since I grew up in Houston but now live in Washington, DC. I want Houston to win a little more because my connection to the team goes back to childhood. What is the deal with the visiting team blowing out every game in this series? I was super happy for Anthony Rendon to hit a homerun in Houston. He grew up there and played college ball at Rice, just a few miles from the Minute Maid ballpark. I have to think it must be a dream come true for him. 2 Link to comment
Lantern7 October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 How about a guy who homers with a 10-0 lead, and somehow turns his bat into a crude pogo stick while rounding the bases? Deadspin essay going into Game 3. 2 Link to comment
cleo October 30, 2019 Share October 30, 2019 (edited) Toplessness is legal is Toronto (I think?) but the only people taking advantage seem to be men that I wish wouldn't heh......sometimes less is more. ETA: I looked it up. Not explicitly legal, but never successfully prosecuted as an indecent act, and so criminal charges are not pursued anymore. This does not apply to any toplessness in a commercial context ie prostitutes. It also does not necessarily apply if there are other acts along with the toplessness. But the court ruled in a case that merely walking down the street topless did not constitute an indecent act under the criminal code. I think I should go back to lurking now lol.

Yeah, I know Astro was the name of the dog on the Jetsons. I just like the name. Plus, Astro is more dog than cat anyway. He doesn't act like a cat. He is kind of clumsy. “Astro” is a good cat name. And I was just riffing off the news of low ratings. It begs the question: is there a matchup that would guarantee increased ratings? 1 Link to comment

Jx223 October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) Congratulations to Washington Nationals & their fans on them winning their first ever World Series. In general, I do enjoy watching a franchise get their first win. And the Nats have had an interesting journey to get to this moment. This was an interesting series with each team winning their games on the road. The Nats kept up with that theme and did a nice job of winning the championship tonight.

xaxat October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Congrats Nats. As someone who didn't really care about the outcome this Bud Light ad And Scherzer's dugout "dance" were the most entertaining parts. 4 2 Link to comment
stealinghome October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Congrats to the Nats!! Very exciting to see a new team win it, especially since they were so counted out all season. Rendon and Strasburg should be co-MVPs. Wonder if Taubman is still "so f***ing glad" Houston signed Osuna. Can't believe the home team lost each game, and in such a lopsided fashion in most of the games. 12 Link to comment

attica October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 I hadn't known that the Nats' hitting coach is Kevin Long, who coached the WS-winning 2009 Yankees. Guess he knows a thing or two. 5 Link to comment

basiltherat October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 Even though I have professed my love for my Fun Sized Baseball Boyfriend, Jose Altuve , I found myself rooting for the Nationals. I guess, like a lot of people, I love an underdog story, a team of destiny narrative. However, I will be (mentally) hugging and comforting Jose and turning back to my Cubs to see what the hell they can do next year! 5 Link to comment

Lantern7 October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 9 minutes ago, DoctorAtomic said: What a story. 19-31 and left for dead, coming from behind in nearly every elimination game. . . . and the Mets can only watch and wonder what could have been had they started their resurgence sooner. But I think the biggest losers are MLB (all sorts of drama On and off the field) and Fox (low ratings). I think the Astros would also fit, but this was their third World Series in four years, and they probably got better odds than the Nationals for winning next year. I heard Washington has opened at 14-1, with several teams in front of them. 1 Link to comment

mojoween October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 The Nats are not my team in any way so I don’t want to be that asshole, but there was something very unlikable about the Astros this year from management on down and I just could not root for them at all. Also, they beat the Yankees and I am a Bitter Betty. 10 Link to comment
cleo October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) That was my feeling for numerous reasons. I thought it was interesting Cole distanced himself from the team ASAP. ETA that being said, sorry to the Houston fans, I'm sure it's disappointing Edited October 31, 2019 by cleo 3 Link to comment

nittany cougar October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 (edited) My feelings are so mixed. As a native Houstonian, I really wanted the Astros to win again, mostly for Cole and Greinke. However, it is impossible not to like Rendon and Kendrick, and Scherzer already went to one World Series and lost. The Nats worked hard and brought it home. You could tell they were all so happy last night, and it was contagious. So, congrats Nats! I am still wearing my Astros shirt in DC. Edited October 31, 2019 by nittanycougar 1 7 Link to comment

MVFrostsMyPie November 1, 2019 Share November 1, 2019 My Phillies friend was astonished I was rooting for the Nats (you’d think I was rooting for the Mets.... which I would just to annoy her, plus #ForeverGiant Panik is on their team now) instead of the Astros (her: “but they beat the dodgers!” me: “that was 2 years ago! Besides, the Nats knocked the dodgers out this year, so....”). I wonder if some of it has to do with her denial that Harper is unlikeable. She was trying to rub it in my face that Harper went with the Phillies, meanwhile I was just super relieved he didn’t go with the Giants. 😆 2 Link to comment
