I love New York City. No place like it.

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.

The schedule for the AL has been very bad this postseason so far imo.

Greatest story ever told?

Verlander is filthy.

Looks like Kate Upton shops at the same stores my grandmother used to.

We may have won the division but the yankees are a better team. Their pitchers have actually competed and shut down the Astros for two games now.

 

[LouJersey]

Verlander is filthy.

124 pitches? Old school.

 

[smithformeragent]

That's a baseball game.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Horrendous decision to send altuve but it works out anyway

The Major was a good man - when he went after an umpire it was epic.

 

[Aeroforce]

Big win for the Astros, and AJ Hinch knew his best chance was leaving Verlander in as long as possible. Of course I hope for the best, but pitching after Keuchel and Verlander may ultimately be the team's downfall.

Pedro Martinez had some great comments after the Dodgers/Cubs game regarding the out at the plate that was overturned due to catcher's interference. He said while it's good to get the calls right, it does rob fans of emotion; something I've felt about the reviews in hockey.

The Astros are obviously very good, but I would think either the Dodgers or Cubs will win the WS fairly easily

EDIT: BruinsFanMike82 beat me to it. I heard there is a way to manually delete your own posts. Does anyone know how?

 

[Johnnyduke]

I like it

 

[EverettMike]

Oh my god anyone but Gardenhire.

 

[Era of Sanity]

I think Gardenhire or Cora would be decent choices, would take either over Ausmus.

Here's an update on the Managerial search:

Is this some form of elder affirmative action. We have to interview at least one 60 year old white man as part of the process?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Jon Lester pitches yet another good playoff game

 

[Johnnyduke]

Hopefully the sox are as good a wild card team next year as the yankees have been this year. Doubtful though. The yankees apparently have starting pitchers who can perform in playoffs.
