Absolutely can't walk the 9th hitter and leadoff hitter back to back up 2 runs in the 7th inning of game 7.

Agonizing for Phillies fans. Had the dudes at the plate they wanted

Turner looks lost at the plate right now, not as bad as Castellanos, though

[PGsHeroes32]

Turner back to 1st half Turner at the wrong time.

Awful AB with Harper looming. Cant swing at blatant balls. Load the bases for your star.

[MUBurrow]

In the Brewers 6 Playoff appearances as a franchise, the team that eliminated them has gone on to win the WS 5 times. Should've bet the DBacks right after game 2.

Bump.

In late May, I placed a futures bet on Rangers/Dbacks World Series at +18400. Unfortunately I didn't put a lot on it.

That's living up to your handle and I love it. Congrats regardless of how little you put on it, that's nuts.

Awesome, Dish. Back in the day, Leonard "Lenny" Bernstein (owner of Lenny's Tap and my favorite mentor while at MU) bet $100 on the Mets to win the World Series before the season began in 1969. I think I remember he got 100 - 1 odds. Fun when a long shot delivers!

Phillies lived by the HR and died by the HR.  39 runs in their first 6 home playoff games, 3 in the last two.  2-17 with RISP and left 17 men on base.  Brewers fans nod knowingly

[dgies9156]

Rangers/Diamondbacks?

Who cares?

[tower912]

Still going to watch.   

[Uncle Rico]

Still going to watch.

Who cares is a fair question for the casual sports fan but I admit, this series intrigues me quite a bit and I'll be watching.

Not much of a DBacks fan but do like how they play and Carroll looks like a guy that will be a star

Counsell interviewing with the Mets. I still feel this is a play to get more money from Milwaukee, but definitely seems like there's smoke.

Probably people in the 4th and 10th largest metro areas in the nation.
It may not have the glamour of a Cardinals-Royals series, but I'm guessing the TV networks don't mind.

Ardolis Garcia celebrating his home runs is not the classy way to play. His former team was right to jettison him for his disrespect.

I wish dgies well with everything he enjoys. But to understand dgies' posts is to know that he is all things 1960's.

Cardinals-Royals? A more effective reference would have been Cardinals-Tigers, Cardinals-Red Sox, Cardinals-Yankees. He picked a good decade to be a fan.

Wait until he finds out about the other popular sports there. The MLS Soccer team has a wait list of over 100,000 for season tickets. I know he was surprised of the size of the fan base of their hockey team (est 1967). And, their recent NFL team had 95 consecutive regular season sell outs when they arrived. But those popular things weren't there in the 1960's, and, I believe, dgies has said he has never lived there anyway, which is going to limit his view and experience there a bit.

Texas (est 1972) and Arizona (est 1998) might be a bit too recent and lesser known for him. But good for them for making the WS.

There's room for many types of fans. They can always ask Taylor Swift to go to a game to attract some casual fans.

Waitin' on collectin' my caramel apples, aina?

[Lennys Tap]

Pretty exciting  first WS game, a'ina? García on a tear.

Cuban defector hits game winning HR off of a pitcher named Castro. Sweet.

[MU82]

Have a postseason, Adolis Garcia.

[Uncle Rico]

Well, it is $83K and change in today's dollars.
