You mean a Dodgers-Astros World Series is not inevitable?

Dodgers vs somebody seems hard to bet against.

Never count out Kershaw's postseason choking abilities.

I am thrilled the Rockies are heading to the 1 game playoff.

Dodgers have the weight of history on them too - been a long time since we've seen the Dodgers in the World Series.

Get back to me when the Nats fail to win a playoff series again this year.

Gonna go out on a limb here - this is the Nat's year. SP (Scherzer, Gio, Straus/Roark), rebuilt BP, murderer's row lineup even with the injuries (Turner, Taylor, Werth, etc. - all on track to return). Lind/Difo/Sanchez/Kendrick/Goodwin all thrown into the breach and clicking. Weaknesses are catcher and no true closer, though Doolittle seems to be settling in.

If they don't it's not because of history.

Trolling at it's worst.

I know I'm contradicting myself here, but if Kershaw doesn't pull a Kershaw the Dodgers are going to waltz to the Series.

89Hen says that history has zero bearing (maybe even less than that, it could be negative) on future performances so the Dodgers may have technically already won the World Series. Check with him.

Delete. Wrong thread

Just stop.

And no Felix. The longest playoff drought in baseball continues.

He already missed two months, and has been mediocre at best when healthy. Paxton had been the ace this season. Eat a dick.

Aaaaand Paxton leaves the game in the 7th last night with a pectoral injury.

Astros over Dodgers in 6

[Gil Dobie]

Astros have been the talk of baseball for a few years now.

Dodgers are like the 2001 Mariners.

Astros over Dodgers in 6

Are the Astros even going to make the playoffs?

edit: just checked the standings and apparently they're in first place in the AL. Who knew?

People who pay attention to more than just the latest team they've bandwagoned?

I wouldn't fall into that category, so no. They just haven't been getting any talk around MLB, so it came as a surprise to see them doing so well.

Alright. I'll step away from your and Gil's troll battle.

Twins carrying might Joe Mauer's contract into the playoff hunt, and a possible Gold Glove for Mauer.

[89Hen]

Astros falling like a rock. AL top seed now in jeopardy.
