LA won the NBA title, and Tampa won the Stanley Cup. Now one city or the other will also be home to the World Series champs. Bodes well for Bucs and Chargers in the Super Bowl, lol. Bucs might actually have a shot.

Interesting, I will take LA in 6....Rays are a great club but Dodgers have something special. So didn't the Braves in the Big Three arms era. They went a bunch but only won it all once. I'm with you though, I think the Dodgers break through but I'll take it to 7 games. Regardless, would not shock me if the Rays get their first, they are playing special this year and what a story that would be.

Mach, you want to go a 4-pack. I have LA. Sure, but with you I need to be clear as ice on what we are betting on So, I said LA as well but going to a game 7. So are we betting how many games it takes LA then or what?

Sure, why not even after Mookie repeated as the Taco Bell hero to America. Watched the first few innings but had early stuff today so didn't stay up for it. Will watch the entire game (or at least until it becomes a blowout should that occur) tonight.

What a game last night, best WS game I have seen in many years. This series could go 7, have win for Rays last night. They are a gritty team for sure

They are a gritty team for sure Man, if the Dodgers wind up losing the series after those two bobbles allowed in the winning run last night, ughh. Do they have a legendary curse they are trying to shuck off?

Congrats to the Dodgers, MB I'll have your quad my first day on the hill.
Three takeaways: 1) Rays absolute devotion to metrics bit them in their arsses. Snell was absolutely locked in a d this season anyway, Betts has been poor against lefties. Maybe Cash figured MB had been the one Dodger to see Snell a ton in the past and feared a third go even though he looked overmatched his first two at bats. Changing pitcher's didn't work so well last night against Betts.
2). It would figure Betts would figure huge in the clinching game. Glad John Henry is busy buying European football clubs.
3). I get it, Turner has aged for the Dodgers and lost the WS twice before in frustration. But he tested positive for Covid and upon his second test confirming the first during the game, he got ours and isolated in the eighth. How does MLB allow him on the field to celebrate?? Maybe if he was N95 masked and surgical gloves the entire time but he was unmasked half the time. Gives MLB a bookend black eye, with the Marlins/Cards early season case woes and now this closing mark. Confounds what they did right the majority of the season and is unfortunate. In the event Biden wins, he didn't need this ammo too.

The Dodgers were the better team, Mach you clearly read headlines for point #1. Cash managed to metrics all year to get them to that point, he did similar things dozens of times this year...I do not blame him at all for sticking to his plan. Too easy to second guess Snell had not finished 6 innings all year, he was about to go through the order for the 3rd time and the lead off guy got a hit. If you want to pick on anything, pick on his choice of reliever in that spot....the choice to pull Snell and be easily defended.
And thanks the beer, anything Maine brewed IPA/PA works for me. Just not Sebago/Shipyard please.
