It was amusing to me that washed up American ball players would play on Japanese teams when their careers were finished stateside.

Like this classic of American cinema?

"Uh, Houston, we've had a problem"

I believe any team is going to have a problem with Boston. I'm holding out hope, my hometown Brew Crew turn things around at home, and take the next 2. Beyond that, I think they'd have to make a deal with the devil.

I'd love to see the Dodgers win in 7 over Boston, mainly because they are my dad's team going back to when they were in Brooklyn, and as a Cubs fan I've always liked Boston since they had a similar run of futility. That said, it would have been historically interesting to have back to back franchise-first WS titles (Astros, Brewers), and I don't think the odds are very good of either NL team beating either AL team, probably less so for the Dodgers unless Kershaw and Hill can continue to dominate.

I thought the Astros would take Boston out but man they are a murderer's row of a batting order and the bullpen was good enough against another formidable lineup.

If he pitches a no-hitter, the announcer better call it a blowout

We don’t say shart in my house because we don’t want to break down the etymology to my kids.  Instead we say foop.

I call it "gambling and losing"

Jays are on a roll! Awesome walk off W just now

O's beat Yanks. Go figure

[Joberwocky]

All I want is a winning season from the Phillies.  Playoffs? Yeah, it's be awesome, but I moved away from Philadelphia nearly a decade ago and a winning season hasn't happened since

O's beat Yanks. spoke too soon Friday  ::)

[deanclean]

The Jays on a roll! Got to take 3 of 4 against NY.  I know it’s a long shot for them to make the playoffs but meaningful baseball in September is good enough for me.

[deanclean]

Let’s go Blue Jays!

got your wish @Joberwocky

It's definitely exciting, even if they kinda fell backwards into it
