Sorry man, as much as I hate the racist logo, if the Cubs get eliminated, either the Indians or Astros winning it would have been awesome and good.

That was an absurd at bat

Mark my words, the next revolution in bullpen management is going to be to take a pitcher out mid-AB.

Why would you not want that

It's more fun to watch teams that have never won a title or haven't won one in decades. This isn't a "you can't root for the Yankees because they're good" argument, it's just not as interesting a matchup. Ya dig?

Mid-AB pitching changes have already occurred, including by Girardi I think?

Saying that Yankees/Dodgers isn't a good baseball matchup is like saying you'd rather drink RC Cola because Coke always beats their sales numbers.

And with the Red Sox and Cubs storylines now over, MLB needs to let the other droughts marinate a few more decades.

If the Dodgers make it, Dodgers/Astros is far more interesting/fun than Dodgers/Yankees.
