    I saw this same show in the 90s. It's hurtful.

    A lot of fans that started liking their team only since 2017 were certainly disappointed with last night. You love to see it.

    Fuck the Astros’ fans right in the ear. Their tears sustain me.

    Man, the Snakes had that Game 1 right in their hands! Corey Seager does his thing again. Dude is just a killer.

    Agreed. Nice to see a fresh winner, now let’s do a Seattle/San Diego World Series.

    …And the Astros fans couldn’t be saltier online right now. “We have two rings!” No, not you. The team you cheer for has ONE legitimate ring. You’re just some asshole that became a fan of cheaters in 2017.

    Agreed. If my team (Yankees) doesn’t win, I usually root for a team that has never won, or hasn’t won in a long time. Seattle/San Diego would be intriguing.

    Regarding San Diego- I’ve heard and read reports today that they set an attendance record this year and almost doubled their revenue, but had to take out a $50M loan to cover payroll.

    Bruce Bochey became the sixth manager to win four World Series rings and the first to do it with two different teams.

    No need to apologize, I was just kidding around.

    I feel you on the reading glasses. Getting old sucks.

    Looks like you won’t have to worry about those ticket prices.
    Ohtani to the Dodgers. Officially.

    Psych.

    I guess Toronto didn’t want to pay for twice the price of their actual stadium for him.

    Maybe the cost when it was built. Today that stadium would be pushing $1 Billion USD.

    That’s $100M in maple syrup or $50M in moose meat, to put it in terms you can understand.

    And they’re saying that 700 million is deferred enough in some Bobby Bonilla style contract so the Dodgers are still front-runners to get…nearly every other top free agent.

    In short, fuck you John Henry.

    Keep in mind, you remember how that Bobby Bonilla contract worked out for the Mets.

    All he has to do is blow out his arm and they’ll still have to make it rain for him.
