I'm actually ok with both of the teams winning, leaning Astros but wouldn't mind LA winning.

Probably not, Keuchel and Kershaw probably match up unless they want to put Verlander out on short rest

Joe Buck is good, OP

it's Smoltz that I can't stand, and I'm sure everyone else hates too. If they can get Vin and Buck together for an inning...

At the very least Joe's a better baseball announcer than football announcer. Nothing is worse than Buck Aikman.

I also want to point out that other than mcmagic, Yankees posters are good and cool and better representatives of their team than any of the Yankees fans at the ballpark
