What an entertaining Texas series. The Astros won their last two games in Dallas. The series is tied 2-2.

This is some baseball Kino.

It was a great game until that niggerfaggot midget hit that HR

Seems like the Texas Rangers will head to the World Series, the first time since 2011

They haven’t won a World Series title yet, and the NLCS awaits a winner. Either the DBacks or the Phillies. The Snakes appear feisty against the Phils as they’re both tied in the series 3-3

Fun Game 7 if you aren't a Astros fan and a solid game 6 win by the Dbacks.

I'm loving this post season. Will be happy with either NLCS team advancing.

D-Backs vs. Rangers. Who do you have winning it all?

D-Backs vs. Rangers. Who do you have winning it all?

Both overcame pretty stiff competition in the LCS to get there. My brain is saying it's a toss-up. My heart is saying Rangers in 6 to finally get their first Commissioner's Trophy.

Honestly, the Diamondbacks vs, Rangers World Series matchup should be the most talked about game for MLB and the series as a whole. I don’t even remember the last time I ever thought the Arizona Diamondbacks would be in the World Series, since every time I think of them, I just remember the time Randy Johnson did this:

Either way, as much as I had wanted to see the Baltimore Orioles in the WS, I wish good luck to both of these teams. For the first time, I actually don’t know who would win in a seven series matchup.

Rangers lineup will be too much for Dbacks pitching but the Rangers only have two solid pitchers in Montgomery and Eovaldi. I expect them to struggle when it moves past them. As a result I say Rangers in 6.

Our closer cost is two games.

Really let down. D backs played well we got cold I think a lot was just cooked morale.

Kinda cool wild card teams going to WS.

Me, to myself: Should I post it just because it says "baseball?"
Myself, to me: Look at the fucking thread title.

As an embittered Phils fan, I also think that people focus too much in stats and data to remember that baseball, like all sports, relies on luck, and I think they blew all theirs on the regular season and the Braves.

Hopefully next year goes the same and ends better.

Wasn't just the closer. Swinging for the fences at every at bat (which admittedly is a league wide problem) might work when your bats are hot, but when they cool down (which they did after the Phils went to Arizona) you need a plan B, in this case, "situational hitting". I was cringing during the last 2 games of the series watching one Phillie after another try to hero ball their way back into the game. The ending of that series was unfortunate from a Philly perspective, but not surprising considering how they approached their offensive output.

What a game 1!

Adolis Garcia is a unit. Rangers still in 6.

 

[Major Filth]

Yeah, that was a fun ride. Too bad the Snakes 'pen blew it.

Snakes won 9-1 against the Rangers

Just found out the last time the D-Backs were in the World Series was back in 2001 when they faced the NY Yankees. For some reason, it made me remember the fact this game also existed:



The coincidence comes in when this cover star is also a player for the Arizona Diamondbacks by the name of Luis Gonzalez. I remember that the series used to be called Triple Play, before it changed into MVP Baseball.

Now I’m wondering if anyone played this one, because to my knowledge, this is the only time I’ve ever seen a Diamondbacks player on a baseball video game cover since then.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Yeah. Gonzalez destroyed the Yanks in that series.

 

[TVB]

But let's remember 2004 when the Boston Red Sox officially won their season towards the Yankees after a whole century of bad luck

 

[Major Filth]

Yeah. Gonzalez destroyed the Yanks in that series.

Three little words: "double play depth". And this was after all the media fawning over the Yankees being in the WS after 9/11.

Pretty sure that title got Mark Grace out of more than one DUI.

Remember when Albert Belle tried to run over trick-or-treaters who egged his house?
