    Glad the buzzer users are out, at least 1 team in the series worth rooting for.

    crap, looks like the 2020 WS won't be released on BluRay this year. :(

    (Amazon usually has the preorder about this time. They have one for the highlight film but not the entire World Series.)

    ^ It's never been a problem before. :shrug:

    Since at least 2004, every World Series has been released on disc, regardless of teams.

    And as I said, Amazon usually has the preorder up about this time - before they even know which teams are PLAYING in the WS.

    Yawn.

    I guess it's better than Astros/Dodgers, but I really wanted my Durham Bulls World Series.

    Yeah, any team(s) not the Astros work, but Braves/Rays would have been Manfraud's last choices, so they would have been preferable.

    You would have had that if the Braves hadn't done their Keystone Kops routine on the bases by running themselves into a double play. Idiotic.

    Well, baseball is a new concept to them. Hopefully they'll have sustained success unlike my Cubs.

    It sucked to lose a 3-1 lead but playing seven games in a row with an extremely young and depleted starting rotation and a bullpen that had to exhaust themselves was going to be an uphill battle.

    I’m optimistic about the future. The Braves will have Soroka back along with Fried and an up and coming Ian Anderson. The rotation should be reinforced a little going into the next season. Ozuna will likely be gone to the AL I would think.

    I think the NL will have the DH next year meaning Ozuna doesn't have to go to th AL.

    True but I still wonder about the Braves paying him. They rarely do that.

    I'm a Red Sox fan, so I'm rooting for the Dodgers because of Mookie (though I've always had a soft spot for the Dodgers anyway), but I would have been cool with the Braves, too. I felt dirty rooting for the Rays but they were preferable over the Yankees and Astros in the AL, so now that that's done I hope the Dodgers smash them in the World Series.

    I can not help feeling sorry for Dusty and I am confident that he would not put up w/ any of that over the top cheatin' bullshit of the past. I hated him when he was a Dodger, and he got screwed when he was fired as the Reds manager.

    Having said that, I am over the 70's and 80's when I despised the Dodgers w/ a passion...Go Blue.
