I can’t decide if I want Michael Brantley or Yan Gomes and Asdrubal Cabrera to win. 😂 I think I’m leaning toward the Nats, though, remembering that..thirty years ago?..Dave Martinez played for the Cubs, and was my favorite player. Go Nats! .

I'm celebrating the boos and the lock him up chants. One of my nieces and one of my nephews grew up in Houston. This is all politics.

Because of the humiliation.

The fans who watched the final game at Nats Park, in the rain, also booed and chanted when a Trump ad was shown on the Jumbotron. A twofer!

Hi malaise! Denis won today—Gael is up soon!

The fans at the last game were amazing! I loved how regardless of team jersey they joined together to show solidarity against that disgusting occupant. "Lock him up" never sounded so good....

hoisted with his own petard. I'm betting the house that he never thought the phrase he and his deplorables used for Hillary (and recently for Joe Biden) would make it to the World Fucking Series against him. This will be in every Sports, Politics and Society tect book

Besides, Trump getting booed and Instagram hotties showing off their all-natural 38DD-sized warheads on the same night is pretty awesome

They got a permanent ban from the ballpark, but their goal was to bring attention to their new startup (Think "Playboy Magazine for Millennials&quot so mission accomplished.

Of course I had the whole game recorded on DVR and deleted it before I saw the story

The last time a Washington team won the World Series was in 1924 when Hall of Famer Walter Johnson came out of the bullpen to pitch the last four innings and win the seventh game, 4-3, in 12 innings.

but what do I know. One match can last five days but I just live the battle between bat and ball and all the surrounding intrigue. Sadly both sports are losing fans.

Not just because Houston knocked out my Yanks, but because of the disgraceful way the Astros management treated Stepehanie Apstein and the way they tried to discredit her.

I was wrong. I did congratulate the Nats in another post. I still can't believe the Astros lost that series. I'm never confident about anything, but I was confident the Astros would win, even when they were down 0-2. My losing record of predictions is still intact though!
