31 years with no WS for dodgers and 7 straight division titles. I say it all the time and not just because i'm a red sox fan, but give me WS rings every once in a while instead of all these 100-win ringless seasons.

nobody will argue that. Ask the pats who went undefeated, only to lose to the wild card giants.

Yanks better beat Cards in WS. I don’t want cards getting any closer to Red Sox for team of the century!

They’ve  met five times in the WS , Cards have won 3 of them , it would be nice to go 4-2 !  Long way to go , and you never know which Cards team will show up ....

Oh and Cards play Red Sox in Boston next year , I plan on being there .

If it wasn't for the red sox, the cardinals would have 4 WS this century instead of 2. Btw, I still have my baby blue Ozzie Smith t-shirt jersey.

Exactly! Who remembers wins unless it’s the end game with a world championship.

That’s a matter of perspective.

Well that was some good baseball last night. Tanaka(wow)Gleyber (WOW!) and even Stanton (yanks need him to have that Arod breakout playoff run)had big nights...one step at a time

Take that Bryce Harper! Nats going to first WS and doing it without him. Love it!

If the Yankees and Nationals are in the WS, I most likely won’t watch much / any of it , couldn’t root for  either .

Mrs Nomad was getting a little,loud during last nights game , I finally told her to change the channel .

I haven’t watched much at all the entire postseason. Maybe a few innings at most. In a way, it’s made hunting easier without the Sox playing late nights. But I do hate Bryce Harper

The most popular player in MLB?

I've said a million times:

STARTING PITCHING WINS IN THE PLAYOFFS.

Nats, Astros, and Tanaka are proving it again.

Also, live by the bat, die by the bat, when they go cold! All those homers in the regular season mean nothing now.

Especially in the playoffs. It's do or die time for this years Yankees.

Great pitching always beats great hitting in October. You don’t get to beat up on 4th and 5th starters for 5-6 innings. It’s why the Twins, despite winning 100 games were never contenders for the WS. Also, great bullpens are nice but not when they have to throw 5-6 innings every game in the playoffs. It catches up in a 7 game series. You need 1 or 2 aces and you’re good to go.

Couldn't agree more Biz. 

That's why back before the trade deadline, and Cashman sat on his hands and let let one opportunity after another go by, for starters. I just shook my head. Knowing when this part of the playoffs came, it would come back to bite the Yankees big time. If we just had ONE more quality starter in the rotation that is at least dependable, we could order the rings.

Sorta like Domingo German?  Who picked a terrible time to be an A-Hole.

Wow that sucked ! Cards got pounded , after first inning I started surfing the Net , a bit later told   Mrs to change the channel .

Now the Astro’s have to win so I have somebody to cheer for to beat the Nats .

Arod made a good point last night. He talked about astros getting Verlander and WS. The Sox trading young talent for Sale and got their WS. Then he said yanks had a chance at Cole but didn’t want to get rid of Andujar. At some point, you gotta trade offense for pitching. Yanks have one of the best lineups ever in history and same with bullpen. It’s a shame they have nothing to show for it yet
