Nationals are a win away from the World Series.

I hope the Nats pull it off. I don't necessarily root for them, but having them local, I do follow them and go to games some. I also hate the Yankees, don't need anymore Cards success for a while, and the Astros had a win recently and are in the same division as my sad sack Mariners, so I don't want them.

I first started watching baseball watching the Yankees in college, but I was never that hardcore a fan, so it was easy to switch to the Nats when I moved to DC. I still root for the Yankees, but they will take a backseat to the Nationals, no question.

Nats just scored two in the first inning (so far) with a chance to sweep into the World Series. This is pleasant.

I just grew up with a father and grandfather that were big, in your face Yankees fans. Soured me on them forever between the success and dealing with their reaction to the success.

Nats are killing it!

Bryce Harper died for this.

Bryce?

Astros to the World Series off a 2-run HR!

Nats said, "Houston, Welcome to DC." with 2 games in Houston.

Going to in-state baseball, the Kannapolis Intimidators have changed their name for the upcoming season and will now be the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers.

 

[Canes]

Kinda goofy but I like it. They even kept around Dale's mustache as a nod to their past.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

"Cannon Ballers" is a really good name for a Kannapolis team.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

That and the "3" hidden in the "B" in the CB script logo. It's definitely a nice way to move on from their past while still paying homage to it.

Refs in football are awful. Baseball umps say hold my beer. So glad Rendon homers there, but still robbed.

 

[HisIceness]

No one wants to win a home game

Hope that holds true to the end.

Yeah, that's the kind of call that should end a career. Inexcusable.

 

[HisIceness]

Game 7 here we come!

 

[To Be Determined]

first game seven to feature starters that both have a cy young. i assume that means something like a 12-9 final.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Yeah, that's the kind of call that should end a career. Inexcusable.

What I’m reading is, it was actually the correct call. Quite often in sports, even ones we love and pay attention to and think we know the rules - we don’t know all the rules. I remember the one in the NFL about the batted ball in the end zone rule...I didn’t know it until it happened. For a few minutes I thought the refs had lost their ever loving mind.

 

[HisIceness]

Nationals won't die.

 

[Tryamw]

I'll tell you if the result holds the home teams were more then generous to the visitors and the fans.. 9 innings of baseball no skipping any half. and The visitor always winning.

 

[HisIceness]

Home-field advantage? Whats that? Nationals win!

 

[A Star is Burns]

Glad they did the thing.
