You really just hate to see the Cards struggling like thisā¦ Just hate itā¦
-
I donāt hate it!

The Nats are the team of destinyā¦ Until they arent!

Theyāre playing the Cardinals, so Iām rooting for them.
Nothing Iād like to see more than an Astros-Nationals World Series, if for no other reason than that means the Yankees and Cardinals both lost.
-
@BShark Iām not a Cards fan, just a Cards admirer.
@justanotherfan I too am hoping for Astros-Nationals. Dynamic pitching matchup it seems.
-
@approxinfinity Mad props to the Nats! Their roll reminds me of the Sox run in 05. 8 in a row!

Yeah!! The team is playing for each other and itās a beautiful thing. Seeing Parra and Sanchez giving a laughing Strasburg a hug sandwich in the dugout says it all about how this team feels about each other.
Both Max and Stras got hit early then settled. The O has been special this year, and the starters trust they can get them back in it.
-
@approxinfinity - Can you ban yourself from this site until after the World Series? And even after that, never again mention this series. I feel like back in the 80ās when I lived in Houston and rooted for the āDisastrosā.
-
@nuleafjhawk woh woh woh. You just won a WS in 2017.
Ryan Zimmerman, Mr. Walkoff and face of the Nationals franchise since their return to DC, may be in his last year as a Nat and has never won a postseason series.
Did you think it was going to be easy?
Is there any shame in losing to a team thatās red hot and hitting the crap out of the ball?
Thereās still time for the Astros to make this thing interesting. It aināt over til itās over.
-
@approxinfinity blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah. Go 'Stros! Lol
-
@nuleafjhawk LOL judging by the number of your blahs I see that you at least read what I said enough to realize that I made five points
-
-
@nuleafjhawk FS1 is replaying the game. Its in the 7th inning right now if youāre interested. Just getting interesting
-
Thatās a long inning as I recallā¦ Might still be goingā¦
-
@approxinfinity You are one twisted sisterā¦
-
First decade in 100 years the Yankees wonāt win a series title.
Edit - first decade in 100 years the Yankees didnāt appear in a World Series either.
-
@dylans I like factoids like that. In fact in the last 19 seasons the Yankees have won as many world series as the Angels, Royals, White Sox, Cubs, Phillies, Astros, Dbacks, and Marlins. Even though they spend way more, receive way more media attention, are shown more often on national TV, receive favorable timeslots for postseason games. I will ignore the fact that they won 3 of 4 WS during the last part of the 1990ās!
-
@wissox ha. In the last decade, KU basketball has won as many NCs as Loyola. Aināt that right @loyolstud88 ?
-
Looks like you get one more game @approxinfinity
-
@dylans After the Nats started the season 19-31, theyāve had the exact same W-L at the Astros.
Max Scherzer, 3 time Cy Young winner, says the cortizone shot worked and his neck is feeling good. If we outduels Zack āLove Child Of Three-Way Between Star Wars Emperor, Jim Carrey, And BeetleJuiceā Greinke, anything is possible!
-
The chiefs packers Sunday night game has blown away every World Series game thus far in ratings. Which is kinda crazy considering Houston, I believe is the third or fourth biggest city in this county and itās been a pretty good series from the little Iāve watched . I donāt like regular season baseball, too many guys standing and not even hustling a bit. But usually the month of the regular season and post season is entertaining.
-
@approxinfinity congratsš„³

Dam - -well the all mighty Houston Astroās all mighty pitching staff that was suppose to be untouchable wasnāt quite mighty enough. - -Didnāt really phase the Nats hitters that much.
Verlander was subject to the long ball all through the playoffs - -Cole is more likely then not taking his show to another team from the way it sounds - -itās ok - -Iāll be able to sleep just fine though - - on to next year - - Congrads the Nationals
-
Amazing series. Winning four road games (and weathering 3 losses at home) is about as incredible and unlikely way to win the WS as I can imagine.
When the Astros took out Greinke in the the 7th, I knew it was the crack that the Nationals needed. The home run was more of a fluke: 2 hits in 6 1/3 innings! And they took him out! The Astrosā manager blinked.
I think if they leave Greinke in, he closes that inning with a 2-1 lead and most likely the Astros close out the game.
-
Congrats @approxinfinity! Magical time of year. You win a WS and now after a few days, the Jayhawks play! And when the Jayhawks win it all in April, baseball will be starting again!
@bskeet I think youāre right. Hintz blew that game. I even think he hurt Greinkeās fragile psyche by having Cole up throwing even though Zach had only given up 1 hit.

Umm the Jayhawks play tonight. Donāt wait any longer than necessary!

Thanks guys. Iāve been pretty sentimental about this team all day. Great group of people. Consumate team. Very happy for them. This one meant a lot.
-
@approxinfinity happy for you. This Nats team reminds me a little of the 2014 and 15 Royals. Just make the simple plays against a team that has spent 2 times as much on players. Definitely one of the oddest WS in memory. Has the road team won every game before?
