    I think I'm happiest for Verlander. Guy deserved a WS and the Tigers just couldn't quite get it for him despite having a worthy team a few times.
    Yeah, I was happy for Verlander too.

    Same for Beltran and Reddick.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Although this discussion has turned ugly.
    Well the Bible does say that we should not be judgmental.

    Still, there are some brutally unattractive people.

    Oh my Gawd!

    I have always prided myself being able to remember useless things!

    That guy made me look away when he was on the mound. He should have been issued a paper bag when coming into the game.

    Willie McGee was famously nicknamed "E.T."

    But how does this discussion get this long with no mention of Randy Johnson?

    I think it was Howard Cosell who first called him that.

    I am happy for McCann too.

    I'm happy for the Astros and the city of Houston. They deserved the win.

    I feel bad for the Dodgers. It was a hard fought series.

    Congrats to the 2017 WS Champion houston astros.

    that now leaves, Washington, Texas, Colorado, and Seattle as the only orgs without a parade....
    And of those, only Washington and Seattle have never been to the dance.
