West coast extras make for a long night, but it was worth it.

Our kickball game was at 9:30 last night and I told them I couldn't make it. Got in bed at 9:15, watched the Top of the 1st and assumed we'd win after those 4 runs and went to sleep. I'm getting old, man.

Imagine beating the Astros in the ALCS

I think that franchise might implode on itself if that happened. I honestly wouldn't feel safe for anyone in their stade if they lost the series to us at their place.

Na, they'd get over it just fine. Houston is an A&M town first, Longhorns 2nd, Cowboys 3rd, Texans 4th, U of Houston 5th, Rice 6th, then maybe Astros.

Outside of Mission Control Houston is an awful place, this list confirms it.

I fell asleep during the commercial break going into bottom of the 9th then woke up during the post game show

Guys, I liked the All Star Game deciding home field for the WS.

I was going to skip the entire thing this year but I'll tune in to watch Moose hit in the derby.

I mean, with the unbalanced schedule using regular season record for teams in different divisions is really dumb. I mean, imagine if the WS is Dodgers vs Red Sox. Dodgers get home field but its just because they played a ton of games against the trash teams in their division while Boston plays in a division where there are no easy wins. Its dumb. There's no real fair way to determine home field (unless you just go back to every other year format they had) so using the ASG is as good a format as any. At least its fun.

remember when Ned or George (i can't remember which) told the AS team that there are guys in this room that will benefit from winning this game?

Yes.

I can't remember what its like to watch some non-Ned manage the AL All Star team. This sucks.

For as long as I can remember there have been only 2 men to lead the AL All Stars into battle. Joe Torre and Ned Yost. Now some also ran has been is going to be pulling the strings. Thank goodness this time it doesn't count.

I don't get why baseball needs divisions anyway when they mean absolutely nothing. There are already a billion games a year, plenty of time to play a full balanced schedule with all the teams in the conference and take the best to the playoffs

star seed 7 · « **Reply #70593 on:** July 06, 2017, 10:48:00 AM »

I mean wouldn't everyone prefer to play a few more games against not Cleveland than the two hundred a season we play against irl Cleveland?

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #70594 on:** July 06, 2017, 10:50:53 AM »

Its because baseball thinks we need 18 games of Red Sox vs Yankees, Cards vs Cubs, Giants vs Dodgers etc. And here in pud-division USA we have to play gross teams like the White Sox all damn summer. I'm with you on this lib. Balance the schedule with AL teams and maybe do 8-ish interleague games a season.

Tito is 2-0 in ASG. We are in good hands next week if he is able to manage the game.
