Hi,
Just when you thought they were finished, The Astros take 2 from the Yankees & win the ALCS.
Next up are the Dodgers in La La Land and all bets are off as far as I am concerned. The Astros were obviously not intimidated by Yankees & certainly they do respect but are not afraid of the Dodgers. I think it will go to 7 Games.
Go Astros !!!!

Dodgers will probably win in 5, maybe 4. A series with the Yankees would have held more interest, but even this Yankees fan thinks the Dodgers are pretty unbeatable.
I wont be watching this year. Last years series was a great contest, with two long-time losing teams hoping to break their drought. This year, meh.

Astros in 5. Sorry your Yankee fandom trumps your baseball fandom. The better team won.

(24,630 posts)My baseball fandom had me watching last years WS, as I said above.
Nobody cares about the Astros. Do you think MLB is happy the Yankees arent in the WS? They go from the two largest media markets of LA & NY to LA/Houston? Give me a break.
There are Yankees fans across the country. I live in SoCal, and my team is the Yankees.

(4,278 posts)LA/Houston is 2/4 as far as media markets.
Not to mention, and I'll use all caps here, THE ASTROS ARE BETTER THAN THE YANKEES AND THAT'S WHY THE YANKEES LOST. We won. Deal.
The Yankees fans 'across the country' are called bandwagoners. Like people in SoCal being Yankee fans. Maybe if one is a transplant, but if not....well...bandwagon.

(37,721 posts)Dodgers in five, but I believe it could go six.
The Dodgers are dangerous because they have an uncanny ability to consistently pull rallies out of their arses.
KatyMan
(4,278 posts)because that's them to a T.
Brother Buzz
(37,721 posts)But the fact my magic 8 Ball has been on a roll lately can't be discounted. That, and American League Astros pitchers batting in LA will kill a rally faster than you can spit.
This cable challenged individual is happy to see the series will be broadcast over the air (listening to the games on my AM transistor radio gets tired)
