I'm supposed to believe some unverified Twitter nobody in Minnesota knew the Red Sox were down to 3 finalists 2 hours after announcing Farrell was gone? Nah.

Your life believe what you want.

I hope it's false

 

[Don Cherry]

Relax. It's going to be Ausmus. They need to pretend they're looking around but it's already been decided.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Come on Nats...please beat the cubs

 

[McGarnagle]

Who saw Michael Taylor being the Cubs' kryptonite?

Was he drinking a glass of Merlot and twirling his glasses in hand while he challenged it.

I ******* despise him and the Cubs. It’s unfortunate that the Nats pulled yet another joke job.

All good teams right now too. Redskins probably pushing the bubble there, but they aren't bad.

 

[Glove Malfunction]

This made me laugh. I wonder how many world championships Boston teams have had in those 69 seasons? Was the last winner for Washington the Redskins back when they were good? I'm too lazy to look.

This would have been so much more fun if the Indians and Nationals had won.

Signs could point to Brad Ausmus as next Red Sox manager

Friend in Detroit who is a Tigers STH was convinced 2 years ago that Ausmus would follow DD to Boston when available. Farrell kept his job 2 years ago only because he got sick.

Going to be tough rooting for LA and now Seager may be out to start the series

My preference
Astros
Dodgers
Cubs

I agree, mainly because I think the Astros would have fared better against Cleveland. The Yankees are peaking at the right time and their pitching is deep. Can the Astros win a game not started by Verlander or Keuchel? It wasn't necessary in the short opening round, but is more important now.

But I imagine MLB and the networks are thrilled to have the 4 largest US cities on TV. Whether we like it or not, a Cubs or Dodgers/Yankees World Series would be a ratings bonanza.

 

[EverettMike]

I'm rooting for a Dodgers/Astros series. But I know Fox wants the Yankees vs either a million times more.

Pretty sure they won the Superbowl in like 83 or 84 didn't they? I remember watching in the Danielson dorm back when I was at BU, IIRC.

 

[McGarnagle]

The '98 Capitals were the last Washington team to reach a finals, or the conference finals for that matter.

I think I'm rooting for the Dodgers/Astros from here. For a long time I despised the Dodgers because of that big trade between us in 2012, but it's a different team now. Crawford and Beckett are long gone, and A-Gon is out for the playoffs. Plus Dave Roberts is cool.

 

[Spanky185]

Maybe DD will throw money at Girardi and lure him away from the yankees. I'd listen to F&M every day to hear what they say about him.

 

[Don Cherry]

I told everyone ten minutes after Farrell was fired that Ausmus was the guy.

Not exactly a huge limb you went out on there dough, you know?

Cora and Discarcina were the only two choices to pick from. Guess it was a bigger limb than the original choices.

So if it's Ausmus you will take a vi t

Cora and Discarcina were the only two choices to pick from. Guess it was a bigger limb than the original choices.

Ausmus was obvious and I had it on my twitter and Facebook page 7 minutes before you - actually 6 minutes on twitter and 7 on Face book but I told my BFF in a text 8 minutes before anyone Ausmus was the guy

But I have another guy as well I'm thibking tha Dave Dombrows

 

[Aeroforce]

The Astros win a nail-biter. I don't know why they get the afternoon game tomorrow before the NLCS even starts, but oh well.

Keuchel painted a masterpiece, but I'm still not sold on their pitching beyond he and Verlander (would love to be wrong, though). Altuve's post-season average is over .500. Obviously unsustainable, but still impressive.

As always, the post game show with A-Rod, Papi, Hernandez, and Thomas was great. Their breakdown of Bird's lackadaisical base-running when he got thrown out at home was very good.
