Doesn't matter, only real American teams count... So, the Red Sox don't count.

I remember that fondly. I was traveling for two weeks, first in New Orleans and then in Baton Rouge. NYY pounded BOS while I stayed in a hotel on Bourbon St but everything turned around when I got to LSU. Excellent!

It was tense and exciting to watch, especially following the heartbreak of the 2003 ALCS (11th inning walk-off homer by Aaron Boone in Game 7 to take it for New York). The subsequent sweep of the Cards in the Word Series was anticlimactic.

I like Dusty. But must admit, the way he manages pitchers gets me head scratching and rolling my eyes (2002, 2003-NCLS Bartman game) and most recently, game 4 this WS.
Comes down to can the Astros win 2 home games before the Braves win 1 road game? Plus, played in November  .

I like Dusty but as a Giants fan he made a bad decision in 1993 and 2002. I think history repeats itself. Braves in 7 in extra innings. Sorry Mattress Mack, again.

If it goes to a 7th game, I think the Astros would be awful hard to beat at home. If the Braves are gonna do it, they’re going to have to do it in Game 6. I think Mack may be smiling when this one’s over.

Mack has his bet hedged with insurance.

His bet is the insurance. If the Stros win the WS, he has to refund his customers that bought furniture under his WS promotion. But in that case, he wins the bet, which covers the refunds (and possibly a lot more).

I've bought furniture from Mattress Mac a time or two and I actually got to talk to him a couple of times....His TV's adds back in the day were not "acts"... He talks and acts the same way in person as he does on TV, although his language in person can be a little more colorful and maybe not always politically correct.

We bought furniture from him when he worked in the old store that burned down. He's a good guy and loved here in Houston.

Dusty just can’t win the big one. It’s a wrap. See you next year. Let’s go Giants.

IMO, the Astros played like they just didn't care in game 6...  Braves deserved the series win....
Hey I called it (post 89) that the series would go 6, and it did... Ok, so I picked the wrong team. With that logic I'm batting 500.

Good for the Braves! They didn’t seem as cocky. I’m ready to forgive them for getting Maddux from the Cubs as well as MVP Soler, an ex-Cub

Congrats to the Braves. The game was lost in the 1st inning when the Astros couldn't capitalize on runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs.
Soler is a beast. Now in ex-Cub World Series immortality like Joe Carter.

A little hot stove baseball.
Very excited to see my Rangers ponying up major dough for pitching, fielding, and hitting. Something was drastically needed after last year. But to their credit, they’re doing drastic things. And word is they aren’t done yet.
Go Rangers!
