Skipscards · 10-21-2017, 10:19 PM

Should be a wild one. Rooting for the Astros to take their first Championship.

ToppsCollector1 · 10-21-2017, 10:20 PM

Beat you to it by two minutes

It is pretty neat for the city of Houston to get this. Considering what they’ve been through and considering they’ve never tasted a World Series Championship, I’m really happy for them. Here’s hopin’ they can take down LA.

majestik101 · 10-21-2017, 10:25 PM

So this is the official one. I'll be posting in the official one.

Should be one of the best WS in many years.

texmcpherson · 10-21-2017, 10:26 PM

This is going to be a fun series

BostonNut · 10-21-2017, 10:28 PM

Heart says Astros.

Head says Dodgers.

I agree. Though for me...

Gut says Astros.

Crick in my knee says Dodgers.

awz50 · 10-21-2017, 10:31 PM

Not sure who I'm going for.

I think Houston though

punkoholic · 10-21-2017, 10:32 PM

Please end my sports curse and have Houston win it all. Houston in 6 games. Still want to see Japanese succeed unless it's in an elimination game so Darvish/Maeda pitches well for the Dodgers.

sanfran22 · 10-21-2017, 10:32 PM

Astros had a great run to this point. Can the pitching hold up one more series? Verlander sucks in the world series. Hope they can do it.

Rip67vdub · 10-21-2017, 10:39 PM

Should be a good one. Can't wait.

For what it’s worth Verlander did shut down the Dodgers the one time he faced him this year with Detroit, winning 7-1. He pitched 8 innings and struck out 9.

ThoseBackPages · 10-21-2017, 10:40 PM

Two games Beltran did not play, two wins. Just sayin'

ensbergcollecto · 10-21-2017, 10:45 PM

it seems fitting that these two teams meet given the years they had. Should be a great series. Hopefully these last 2 games were the astros finding their swing again. No prediction from me. Just excited to see the astros in the series.

Monsters · 10-21-2017, 10:46 PM

Got the green light from the boss to get tix. Headed to Game 2 and *possible* Game 6 with my son. I have a feeling it's going 6 or 7. Go DODGERS!

That’s awesome! Have a blast!

centereacan06 · 10-21-2017, 10:49 PM

Carlos Beltran's my all-time favorite player. He deserves a ring.

Ferg1945 · 10-21-2017, 10:50 PM

The players rejoice.... LA to NY flights would have been nuts. Shorter flights make players happy.

rman112 · 10-21-2017, 10:52 PM

Rooting for Houston. Don't like LA.. at all.
