I think Astros are winning this WS. All that time off is going to hurt the Nationals.
That's awesome. I hope everything turns out well for her.I posted a while back that my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a while back, and it's been rough ever since. Tomorrow she is scheduled for her surgery to remove the tumor in the evening, and she's really nervous because she also has heart problems.
All that said, however, she was just gifted a ticket to the WORLD SERIES! She's going to the Astros game tonight! Win one for my mom!!
the only stuff I have seen is stuff about how the astros are the most favored team to win it since the 2007 red sox vs the rockies :PAstros win this in 4-5 games. The media, etc are building the Nats up way too much and forgetting how good this Astros team really is and can be. That's not to take anything away from the Nats as they have had a really good season if a bit of a roller-coaster but this ain't the Cards they'll be playing tonight.
Nats beat Cole tonight and it's a different story but my guess is the Astros pretty much dominate the series on all fronts making it a short series.
I'd say the sports pundit engine has been the cause of most of the building up of the Nats. Vegas is pretty clearly on the side of the Astros.the only stuff I have seen is stuff about how the astros are the most favored team to win it since the 2007 red sox vs the rockies :P
which is fair. It's a more exciting story if the team that was way under .500 at one point during the season, a team that has never won it wins over the team that the most people predicted to win it this year and won it two years ago wins it :PI'd say the sports pundit engine has been the cause of most of the building up of the Nats.

Nats went 69-36 over their last 105 games during the regular season (+175 DIFF) and are 7-2 in the postseason. Astros went 70- 35 over their last 105 games during the regular season (+188 DIFF) and are 7-4 in the post season.Astros win this in 4-5 games.

All I have heard on MLB Network radio/tv is how well the Nats matchup, etc, etc, etc. I live in the vicinity of DC as a Mets fan. I've seen them enough to know all about their starting pitching, the struggles of their bullpen, the fact that there isn't a better combo in baseball than Rendon/Soto, Turner is one of the more underrated players in the game (when he is on the field), they're easy to root for (well, not easy as a Mets fan being a division rival, beating them 12 out of 19 meetings, listening to the worst broadcast crew in baseball in Carpenter and Santangelo), good guys, etc, etc, etc. I still don't think they put up much of a fight against the best team in baseball, the Houston Astros. They have the lay-off excuse in waiting when it happens though.the only stuff I have seen is stuff about how the astros are the most favored team to win it since the 2007 red sox vs the rockies :P
so let me ask this then. If it was the Rays instead of the Astros how do you think the Nats would match up?All I have heard on MLB Network radio/tv is how well the Nats matchup, etc, etc, etc. I live in the vicinity of DC as a Mets fan.

Yep, the only recourse is to take away all their wins and awards after they moved to the AL.Lol Astros trash organization. More reason to root against them by any neutral party.
Too bad Scherzer is already at 10,000 pitches this game. It's gonna be bullpen time soon, and I'm scared.
