I just did this for the first time. I've been watching on my phone. Do you get it on other devices or is it strictly your phone through T-Mobile?Originally Posted by Mormon Red Death

That Rockies-Cubs game was a classic. I was sorry anyone had to lose.

I was not sorry that the Cubs had to lose. Nor will I be sorry when the Dodgers have to lose.
Rooting guide:
NL: Rockies, Brewers are a yes. Dodgers, Braves are a no.
AL: A's, Astros are a yes. Yankees, Indians are a no.
Not quite. Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox are all a no. Brewers, Rockies, Braves, and A's are all a yes. You can exercise your own discretion on the Astros and Indians.
Oh yeah, the Red Sox. Definitely a no. We overlap quite a bit in this. Just swap the Astros and Braves, and you are in good shape.
I subscribe to a fairly simple philosophy when rooting for teams which I have no connection: I can't root for you if you are a "big market" team. Essentially, if people are sporting your hat in Panguitch, then you have too many bandwagoners and I hate you. Then, recent success tilts against me rooting for you.
So the Red Sox, Yankees, and Dodgers are a hard NO. I don't care if they haven't won for decades (or centuries in the case of the dodgers), I'm not joining that bandwagon.
The Brewers are YES. Minus points for the Rockies for being an expansion team during my sports-lifetime, but they are still good to go.
The Braves are a tough one because they are from a biggish market and they have a ton of bandwagoners from the TBS days (see, e.g., Scratch). I'll cheer for them anyway because they are like Buffalo-lite: they went to the top of the mountaintop a lot, but they usually left empty handed.
The Astros should be a NO because (a) they won very recently and (b) they are from a biggish market. But their retro unis are a classic, so go Stros!

This is a pretty fun video that has the last out of every World Series from 1980 through 2016 (older video so no Astros win last year). Only a few series ending hits (Joe Carter!!), a lot of strikeouts and fly balls, not as many ground outs. I graduated high school in 1980 so all of these series occurred in my "adulthood", but could only distinctly remember a few. I remember Willie Wilson's strikeout to Tug McGraw, Joe Carter's homerun, the Twins walk-off in 1991, and the D-Backs win. A lot of the others are not really memorable plays and goes to show that so many memorable plays happen in earlier games in a series or earlier in the clinching games.
Oh Lord, is it really going to be a Red Sox/Dodgers World Series? I can't think of a worse pairing. Far worse than the Mets/Royals series a few years ago. How can I possibly choose who to root for?
I was thinking the exact same thing this morning. Our God has abandoned us in a hell-scape where no joy or happiness is present.
It infuriates me that I may have to cheer for the Red Sox in the World Series.
This is rich, coming from a Yankees fan.

It’s all Brewers tonight. Dodgers’ pitching cost them them the game, Brewers’ pitching won it for them. Roberts has some ‘splaining to do about why he let Ryu get shelled so badly in the first 2 innings before pulling him. Brewers got five of their six runs during that disaster. The game was over at that point.
But props to the Brewers. They flat-out outplayed the Dodgers.

Surprised and delighted that Dodgers pitching totally shut down the Brewers. The Red Sox are pretty dominant, though. Sadly, I think they win the Series in 6 games.

I made it through the 17th inning last night but then quit and went to bed. Just missed it!
I did get to see the Bellinger throw out at home during halftime of the Utah game.
Fought to stay up, had it on in bed, fell asleep. At 1:30 local time my four year old woke up, so I went to check on her. Came back to my bedroom just in time to see the walkoff homerun. Within five seconds after the homer, the sleep timer I had set turned the TV off. It was meant to be.
Watched the whole thing. Would have been a gut-punch loss for either team.
Pretty impressive of the Boston to come back and win after going down 4-0 tonight.

Did koufax ever give up 3 hrs in an elimination game? (Rhetorical question)
Sadly, the “yes, but” about CK’s greatness as a pitcher will be his post-season performances.
