I know everyone wants to copy the NBA pre/post game shows with Barkley and company, but I'll be honest: I just don't think anyone will come close to copying that magic. Closest is probably the Manningcast on the NFL, but they botch that with random rear end guest interviews in the middle of games.


Seems obvious and yet they still keep trying lovely formulas.

To replicate a pre/post a la Barkley and company they first need to assemble a group of personalities as compelling together as Barkley and company and so far that ain't ever happened.

I was hoping we'd get to the 5th inning or so before Verlander started giving us a WS preview performance but alas.

that's great Verlander finds a way out of jams but maybe he should consider not getting into them

Just giving everyone a good show, he's still got this. :mildpanic:

I'd love to see the market research that went into buying those ads. Lotta affluent baseball fans looking to burn five figgies to fly???

The average age of a MLB ticket buyer is like mid 40s still so if you squint real hard you can kind of make sense of it.

How considerate of the Astros to let the Rangers get back to their batting spree so quickly.

Dameius

You know, in some ways it was better when the Astros were dogshit with no expectations because we never got into high stakes post season play.

On the other hand, we will literally never loving hear the end of this from Dallas people.

Look, all we want is one title. We were fine with one for the Mavericks, all we want is one for the Rangers. We aren't greedy.

That's just how it starts. Never get a WS ring, you'll love it.

Accurate! Houston is an awful city to live in, everyone I know down here has been trying to move away from that area and commute to their job there instead. Houstonians are very friendly though!

Houston is a great place to live, terrible place to vacation to.

This assumes you are ok with owning a car for daily transportation.

If the Astros forget how to bat for this whole series then the only thing stopping the Phillies from winning will be gone.
