Those of us in Metro Detroit long ago gave up any dreams of post-season glory...our chant:
First round draft pick!
First round draft pick!
First round draft pick!

Not baseball related, but I'm a NY Jets fan. I'm quite familiar with that chant......

My son is a long-suffering Jets/Mets/Knicks fan [crying] , so here in our house we hear all the pessimism that can go along with a pro sports team LOL.
My Nats [smile] did squeak in with the WC. I used to say I didn't like the WC format, but now I've decided to change my opinion. [big grin]
I do think that MLB should change the playoff format so WC series are at least three games. Single-game format in baseball is no good, in my opinion.
Not sure about making a prediction, but as always, I hope the WS goes to the NL.

Your son and I have a lot in common, but I'll add the Rangers for hockey in there lol. Going back to baseball, I'm all about the national league. Not a fan, at all, of the DH.

Peter, Yes, the Rangers are on his list of grievances, as well. [big grin]
As for college sports, he finally got some results because his UVA teams recently won the National Championship in baseball and basketball.
I keep trying to tell him that he can't have it all with his sports teams. He often listens to Dad's advice, but not on this topic LOL .
DH, a terrible thing. [mad] And the no-pitch IBB, also bad. [mad] I don't like the limit on mound visits and all the speed-up-the-game changes. All that stuff is part of the game as far as I am concerned and if there is a good crew in the booth calling the game, then I think it's all part of the theater of baseball. [smile]
Also, we need some more Earl Weavers to provide quality manager ejections for entertainment value. [big grin]

You lost me at UVA - I'm a Hokies fan along with the Wolfpack lol. Funny you mention the crew in the booth - the Mets had a game broadcast on Youtube a few weeks back. Maybe I'm partial (and used to) Keith & Gary on SNY, but the Youtube broadcast was just AWFUL.

Peter, I think Gary/Keith/Ron are the best in the business in the booth for TV.
I'm now with the Nats/Dodgers game, biting my nails and hoping for a Game 5 !!
I will check back in with you end of Nov with the UVA-VPI game. [big grin]

Come on down [member=6193]Rob Z[/member] - Our Astros pulled it off! The juice box will have its lid closed tight Tuesday night and we will be loud and ready for a great series against your Nats. Here’s to a great series with some unbelievable pitching from both teams. I can’t wait. May the best team win!

Hey Alan
I was, and continue to be, stunned that the Nats made it this far. [eek] Everyone in the area who was howling for the manager's head when the team was in the doldrums has conveniently forgotten about how they had written the team off LOL. I guess that's the way it goes with every team's fans.
The Astros look good, very good. I am hoping for a good and competitive Series and will be watching every AB.
