Lost amid the strike and IHSA playoffs talk, we are witnessing a great Series this year.
What a great World Series
- Thread starter eireog
- Start date
No. The away team hasn’t won the first 6 games ever in baseball, basketball and hockey.
The Nat's are pouring it on in the top of the 9th.
Has either team won a Home game yet in this series?

I'll bet Bryce Harper has smashed more than 1 60" TVs in the last hour. 
Making Washington Baseball Great Again.... just kidding ... Washington Baseball has never been great til now. Congrats to the pride and joy of Holy Cross Mike Rizzo and the Nats!!

If the Nationals re-signed him they don’t win the World Series, the money they saved on not signing him went to the pitching staff.

I thought the Astros would win in 6 games. But, I was hoping the 'Nats would win. That was a good World Series and probably the best in years that had that many games that didn't end up close in score. I was for the "Nats because Bryce Harper wasn't on the team. I like the rest of the guys on that team.
When Strasburg was a rookie phenom back in the day with the Nationals, one of my son's baseball teams went to see him play vs. the Brewers up in Milwaukee. Parents loaded with various items to get signed were crowding to every area he was warming up before the game to get an autograph while my young son and his friend just patiently waited by one area along the fence. There was tons of hype around the kid when he first came to the majors as the first overall pick in the MLB draft. It didn't look like Strasburg was going to be signing any autographs before the game.
So just when the Nationals were all heading to the dugout after warmups, Strasburg appearing to be running with his teammates all of a sudden turns and makes a beeline right towards my son and his friend to sign baseballs for them. So of course all the crazy adults rush to the fence and smash my son and his friend from behind. Strasburg gets angry and starts yelling at the adults and tells them to back off. He only signed those two baseballs and went back to the dugout. It was such a cool moment that we will never forget. I have been following his career ever since.
The 2019 World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg.

I had the opportunity to see him at SDSU in 2009. You could see the Tony Gwynn influence in how that team interacted with young fans. Glad to hear it hasn’t been lost during Strasburg’s great career.
Agree. Nice to see the Nats win, but I could not root against the Astros, they eliminated the Yankees.
An incredibly huge mistake on the part of Hinch. It's the last game and everyone has to be available. Cole was. Cole was pissed after the game and took his hat off, put another on and told reporters he is no longer an employee of the team. He is a free agent, but I doubt the hat switch would have occurred if they had won.
Long post coming.
Stop and think for a minute how lucky we are to have lived in this time and witnessed so many firsts in sports. We have also witnessed so many things that haven't happened for many, many years.
Just in baseball firsts. In my lifetime, these firsts have happened. The first ever WS championship by the L.A. Dodgers, the advent of the DH, lights at Wrigley Field, the first Baltimore Orioles WS title in the modern era, the Mets' first WS win, new teams in Canada, Many new teams with expansion, Sandy Koufax 4th no-hitter, Nolan Ryan's 5,000th strikeout and 5th,6th and 7th no-hitter, Henry Aaron's 715th homerun, Pete Rose's 4,190th hit, Cal Ripken's 2,131st consecutive game, Roger Maris' 61st homerun, a WS championship by the SF Giants, a WS championship by the Nationals, and many more.
Things that happened for the first time in many years, a White Sox championship, a Cubs championship, a Red Sox championship. and more
Things I am still waiting for, an Indians WS championship, A Padres championship, a no hitter thrown by a Padres pitcher, a Brewers championship, a Rays championship, a Rockies championship, a Rangers championship, a Mariners WS appearance,
So many more things to list but you get the picture.

Hinch must have been thinking he would save Cole for a potential Game 8 of the Series
He is a pos and probably would swing and miss.Many people laughed at me for calling Harper a clubhouse cancer & that the Nats would win without him & that they did!!! Philly barely managed a .500 record with himI'll bet Bryce Harper has smashed more than 1 60" TVs in the last hour.
I highly doubt it.... one look at his bank account, and I’m pretty sure he feels much better. You give these guys too much credit for caringI'll bet Bryce Harper has smashed more than 1 60" TVs in the last hour.
