OT: NLCS, ALCS thread...

The entire civilized world wants a Rays/Brewers series, except for MLB.
I’m rooting for the Dodgers to bring us closer to a salary cap.
Be pretty cool to see Guardians win with lowest payroll
You have to have a very keen eye as an umpire to catch that and it took someone else pointing it out and 3 times looking at it before I saw it. There is a very very slight flex of his front knee that simulates his motion right before he stepped off with his pivot foot. By letter of the rule, it's a balk. But like I said, you really have to have a keen eye and only the home plate umpire is going to detect that from head on. I don't know if Smoltz's quote "that's tough, that's real tough" is him disagreeing with the call or begrudgingly agreeing but it's splitting hairs.
First pick for WS - Brewers-Guardians. Two long suffering fan bases.
next is Brewers v Rays. Rays may not get much fan support, but they build teams the right way.
**** the dodgers

It'd be even better if the Brewers were still in the American League and Cleveland was still the Indians.
Everyone loves the Indians. I don't know - something about the Rays.
Has anyone been to the Rays' dome this season since hurricane reconstruction? It actually looks pretty cool. Why do they need to move?

I am ill equipped to confirm.
Milwaukee and Cleveland -- Would love to see this match up in the series. Loving the Brewers beat down of the elitist Dodgers.

That was a NASTY strikeout by Ashby in the 8th. 100 mph sinker, then 2 wicked curveballs.
5-4 brewers going to top of 9th

Brewers sweep Dodgers in NLCS, advance to 1st World Series in 44 years
The Brewers completed a four-game sweep of the Dodgers to win NL pennant and reach the World Series for the first time since 1982.

It is interesting that so many posters, including me, post that we need to increase our NIL so we can get better players. This is what the Dodgers do with free agent signings. Why the animosity?
I hate the Dodgers w/ or w/out a massive payroll.
And I am a Dodger fan since 1955 when I was 7 years old. Some good years, some not so good ones.
Wait until next year.
My Dad played for the Giants and I'm a former Giants fan going back to Murcer, then Will Clark, Robbie Thompson, Matt Williams, Kevin Mitchell, and all those guys.
No love for the Dodgers - even the likeable teams they had back in the day.
I feel like they have a better opportunity to draw more fans with their new location by Raymond James than anywhere in St. Pete. I lived in Orlando for 20+ years and went to the Concrete Jungle just a handful of times because it was a frustrating effort to get to St. Pete for a night game. With the new location, it cuts down 45 minutes to an hour of drive time for those coming from north & east of Tampa and for the Rays, hopefully it'll attract people from Orlando/Lakeland/north of Tampa to show up for more games.
I do agree with that to a point, and agree with getting closer to Orlando. Which is why the Marlins made a huge mistake banking on Little Havana. They should have moved north to Palm Beach and open up the now exploding Treasure Coast market, while retaining Ft. Lauderdale. The Panthers look like geniuses getting out of Miami.

Agreed but then it hurts the negotiations for a cap. Pirates will suck regardless so go Indians.
