    World Series is in full swing, and this forum is quiet!

    I predict Dodgers in 6.

    I'd be surprised to see it go 5 games. The Dodgers are monsters this year. 

    I was at Cubs / Dodgers game 4 (the one the Cubs won). Great game.

    I was tempted to say Dodgers in a sweep, but the Astros looked awfully good at home.  I think they might steal a couple in Houston.

    You might say the Astros stole one last night.  Exciting game.  After the Dodgers took the lead from Verlander, I thought Houston was in trouble.

    Damn.

    Not having a dog in this hunt, I guess I'll root for the team that got our former top gun pitcher...
    Go Astros.

    Me neither, although the Astros' Single-A NY-Penn League affiliate (Tri-City ValleyCats) plays only a mile from my house, so I suppose I should root for the parent club!

    Several Astros (and even one Dodger) played for the ValleyCats!

  • Some hot stove discussion: where does Shohei Ohtani end up?

    Can he succeed as a two-way player in the majors?

    And is he worth the hype?

    Discuss!

  • Wow.  Never in a million years did I think the Yankees would get Giancarlo Stanton.  Of course, as a Yankee fan, this makes me very excited!  And Shohei Ohtani should make the Angels very interesting in the AL West.

    Speaking of the AL West, Dee Gordon to the Mariners should make them interesting as well!

    I am glad he is going to the AL and NOT to the Cardinals as I know the Cardinals were attempting to trade for him.

    From what I understand, because of the no-trade clause in his contract, he could pretty much dictate where he wanted to go.  Supposedly the Marlins had worked out trades to St. Louis and San Francisco, but he turned both of them down.  The Yankees were on his (both figurative and literal) short list of teams to which he would accept a trade.

  • Hope he continues to play well in NY. Definitely exciting to see NYY perhaps become a favorite to compete in the AL.
