... Could be an early exit or a wild ride, the Nats then the Dodgers, no easy task.

I'm gonna root for the Gnats, sorry.

That's hurtful.

[Vrede too]

That's hurtful.

I grew up there. Frank Howard. Ted Williams.

If I need to I'll root for the Cubs over L.A. or AZ, not sure about CO.

One down, ten to go.

[Vrede too]

One down, ten to go.

Or 18 to go.

Ouch, crappy 8th inning for you.

The Cubs Achilles heel could be their bullpen. Did not want to see the Gnats get their offense going.
Good win though.
Still ten to go.

I will root for the Gnats or Cubs over all the other teams in it.

You okay? No heart attack in the 6th, 7th or 8th? I don't know about that Gnats 3rd out at 1st in the 8th, oh well. Happy for you, you're more passionate about it than I am.

... then the Dodgers, no easy task.

Will have to be better than vs. the Gnats. Go Cubs all the way! 2nd choice - Yankees.

That was exhausting for a divisional round......my bullpen fears were realized. Maddon is searching for arms he trusts (again).
A dropped third strike and catchers interference back to back?!! Never seen that. No one left to start game 1 in L.A.
I need a drink.

Three down, eight to go. Hope I survive.

Does it include making sure that her daddy has gone to bed?

Dodgers lead 2-0.
Astros lead 2-0.

Ut-oh.

[GoCubsGo]

Painful

[Vrede too]

Painful

Go miracle comeback! At least not a sweep culmination in Chicago.

Or, more likely, go Yankees.

Whew.

Or, more likely, go Yankees.

Yankees 3-2, wow.

[Vrede too]

Painful

Ugh.

[GoCubsGo]

Painful

Ugh.

Oh yeah

Yanks Dodgers could be fun though (not as fun as Yanks Cubs)

Will Yanks - Dodgers leave cons with no one to root for?

Was it less heartbreaking than a close game would have been? I pretty much counted it as over in the 3rd, just surfed back every now and then to see if there had been a miracle.

[O Really]

Oh yeah - Yanks and Dodgers would be fun.
The first World Series I remember being specifically interested in was the one when Don Larsen threw the perfect game. Of course, the Dodgers were de bums from Brooklyn then, but still...

[Vrede too]

Hasn't happened since the 1981 World Series, the L.A. Dodgers defeated the Yankees, 4–2. The Yankees lead the World Series contests, 8-3.
