Imagine a Houston-Washington World Series where Dubya sees all the games and the DC pols attending get to use him as "a bipartisan cuddle toy" (stole that off Twitter).

He was tipping his pitches based on his glove height. When Glasnow brought the ball to his mitt, he positioned his hands at the height of his collar bone before delivering a fastball, and he lowered it a couple of inches before a curveball.
for sure, but remember too their camera shenaningans from playoffs last year. That's a mighty impressive record you have at home there!

definitely feels like either of the AL teams could beat either of the NL teams pretty handily

Astros vs Nationals would be a good one, Yanks vs Cards would be a no-win situation.

They'd have to stretch Scherzer and Strasburg to the breaking point (if that's even possible), but I wouldn't be shocked if the Nationals go on to win it all. They strike me as made-to-order for one of those postseason miracle teams.

Gotten over the idea of quitting baseball fandom since Friday night... Upper-deck Sec. 11 had the most cretinous, drunken crowd I’ve been subjected to in 37 seasons of going to Shea. Abusing Cardinal fans, standing at random points, beer after beer -- my friend saw some fool in a Yankee jersey midgame get bathed with the contents of ketchup and mustard tubs at the concessions (victim was so shitfaced he found it hilarious and invited folks to put cigarettes out on him) ...Plus the Mets would NOT let ticketholders watch BP from the field boxes if you had a ticket for another level (as they do in the regular season), so fuck them (and "God Bless America"), no more postseason attendance for me.
Also, last row of the section = wind blowing directly on you for 5 hours.
Nice touch: Psycho theme on PA when LaRussa comes out to mound.
I don't wanna see Trachsel throw another pitch.

Man, I didn’t realize what a major league douchebag Juan Soto is! That’s too bad because he’s to fucking good. *grabs crotch and takes a step toward you*
