GDT: 2018 World Series: Boston Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers

Does Roberts really count though? I believe he was born on a US military base.

Why wouldn't it count? Okinawa is not ours. We don't own the world.

Wouldn’t a military base be US soil? I wasn’t really suggesting anything else.

They aren't from what I understand. A brief internet search seems to confirm that.

I think the Dodgers in this one. Price will choke up a game and then Kershaw wins 1 or 2. I think L.A. get redemption.

8:09 Tuesday on Fox. Sale is starting and either Kershaw or Hill.

Sox easy winners in 5 games.. the
Battle of the wealthy

4 innings is not statistically significant.

I have watched it this year. imho he focused on the three NY teams.

His 7th Inning was when New York City baseball was king after WWII and yet 2 of those teams fled to California in 1958.

Baseball in the 1950's was a gate driven business and what happened when the Braves left Boston for Milwaukee sent shockwaves.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox showed no gain in attendance during this period

Many historians believe the Braves attendance collapsed when the NL integrated much faster than the AL did and that is why Yawkey then held out as long as he did.

The Giants and Yankees were one subway station apart

I would rather the Red Sox start David Price in Game 3 in the warmer California weather. He doesn’t do well in weather colder than 60, it seems. I think the Dodgers are going to be tougher than a lot of people think and the Red Sox will need to smash them in the mouth early. I just want to have as many variables in the Red Sox favor as possible. The series could and likely will come down to who manages their pitching better.

More like modern day miracle

Pretty much.

I don't even think it's possible in the NHL anymore....wasn't the Joe the last of the un-sponsored arenas?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Honestly expecting this to just be a delay to the Red Sox party. Boston in a gentelman's sweep of five.

 

[Elvis P]

Kershaw and Price both pitched well last time and this is a chance for further redemption.

imho the NL is bringing the most optimistic, positive fans to the most negative, pessimistic fans. Reading Fenway's forum when down should be fun.

 

[tony d]

Red Sox in 6 is my prediction. Kershaw/Sale should be a great Game 1 pitching matchup.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Pretty much.

Madison Square Garden?

 

[Dr Pepper]

Madison Square Garden?

Yep, I think that might be the last one. Forgot about MSG. Looking at the other ones, Gila River in Arizona might be another one, since it's named after a tribe and not a company.

So, basically, if the Rangers and Coyotes ever meet in the Cup finals, there's our one and only sponsor-free matchup.

Gila River is a casino.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Gila River is a casino.

Right, but that casino is run by native americans, no?

I figured that set the naming rights apart from the traditional big-business sponsorship we see nearly everywhere else.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Madison Square Garden?

Even then, Chase's logo is flying around with the MSG name.

I have no idea.

I just know that it's a casino from watching baseball games.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Anyway, Red Sox in 6

(sure to be wrong)

The AL went 144-156 against the NL. So all this talk about the AL being far superior is fake news.

The Al's best 5 are certainly much better than the Nl's. The middle and bottom teams favor the Nl.

 

[Fenway]

Oddly the Nationals have never given out naming rights and the Marlins who would pay for that team?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Red Sox are the better team but I dunno, I just feel the Dodgers will win this.

I don't like baseball teams being off for a long time when they are red hot, which is the case for the Red Sox. I also think LA with all their bats has no issue adjusting to AL play, while the Red Sox have a major decision to make for the games in LA (does Betts play 2B?).

Dodgers in 7.
