And it's frigging hot no matter who's doing the measuring. Don't see how this benefits one team vs the other though.

But isn't it nice to have our personal weatherman?

Ok

World Series hasn’t started yet. It’s prediction time! What do you guys think? Who will win? Who do you want to win?

I think the dodgers will win and I hope they do.

Dodgers in 6

Dodgers win WS.
I have no team to root for. Never could I be for the Dodgers or the NL and in this series I can not root for Houston.
Just put me down for a good series and bs'ing with you guys. That will be a winner for me.

I don’t like either team. I definitely holding my nose for the dodgers tho.

I’ll be glad when the offseason is officially here.

Not rooting for the Astros (many can't understand why I wouldn't root for a team from Texas, I just can't stomach the idea of the Astros getting one before us), but I'll be rooting for Darvish in his starts for sure

My first favorite team from back in the day when I was young and didn't have a team to root for in Louisiana was the Dodgers. One of my first World Series memories was the '88 World Series and Kirk Gibson and I used to be a Orel Hershiser fan. Still remember his insane shutout streak as some of my first memories of baseball.

Wasn't '89 the Earthquake series between the A's & Giants? That's another that really stuck out in my mind

Needless to say, always have a soft spot for the Dodgers, even now that I have solidified my loyalties to the Rangers

Dodgers in 6, superior pitching and comparable hitting, especially if Seager is healthy

Kershaw + Darvish > Keuchel + Verlander

Dodgers all the way for me......Just can't bear the thought of having those smack-talking, whiny-asses from Mosquitoville basking in all that glory........Dodgers in 6/7 and Yu is the MVP; how's that?

 

[Nightcrawler]

It’s hard to imagine Darvish winning MVP unless there is a game 7 because he’s the #3 starter.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Kershaw get mvp and totally shut down the Astros twice

More than one way to being mvp.

 

[Duane1952]

One pitch, one hit and one run for the Dodgers.

 

[Kelleyman]

Bregman is good. We should of had him.

Can thank Tim Bogar for that. I think that was the year we had a historic amount of injuries. We should’ve just tanked to pick first overall all

 

[donaldson79]

Well, we "could" have had him anyway.

Your glass continues to be half-full.....Come on now.

Most on here were upset Bogar didn't get the opportunity to be at the helm permanently.

He was picked ahead of us. Brady Aiken debacle got Astros extra pick

 

[donaldson79]

What a fantastic outing from Kershaw. Good guy, great pitcher.....glad to see him have post season success.

 

[donaldson79]

I get that. But was it a given we "would" have taken him had he been there? And what if he was, and we drafted him? No guarantees he'd be worth a flip, all dependent upon circumstances/coaching/needs at the big league level, etc.

I wanted him to be the manager. I think he would’ve done better than rooster. Especially in bull pen management.

It’s definitely something said in hindsight point of view, if we got our manager out of it which most people on here think we should have, then it was worth winning the meaningless games, but since it cost us a chance at drafting a good player who is currently playing in the World Series ( and we know the guy we drafted Dillion Tate sucks). It is safe to say that the brief tenure of bogar as the manager was detrimental to the future success of our team.

There were 3 top flight shortstops there and we wanted one. So yes and he was one they wanted most

 

[Duane1952]

Dodgers take game 1.

OK....I believe ya......I honestly didn't remember.

This is an absurd thing to say, but I use it strictly for "illustration" purposes.............David Clyde might have been in the HOF if the Yankees had drafted him instead of the Texas Rangers.

Same can be said a lot, about a lot of players.....Some were major league ready at 20, but most needed some time/coaching/intangibles, etc. So who drafted them and when are pretty big "what ifs" IMO.

Make any sense?
