The only non-Astros teams I wouldn't mumble sassafras over winning the World Series are Cleveland, San Diego, and Milwaukee.

I don't really hate the idea of the Astros winning in part on account of this whole thing being silly but also because like the Astros sneaking into the playoffs with a below .500 record while their whole offense "slumped" and then chaos balling a win so the fanbase and players can pretend that somehow vindicates them would be kind of hilariously pathetic and make me feel a lot better as a Yankee fan.

This is all true but it would also make a whole lotta people mad, which is funny.

I think the key for me is that like I might be a little salty and feel weird about that but then Correa or Bregman would say something obnoxious as gently caress and it would all feel right again. I have faith.

Maybe Cleveland needs to win this time, finally putting right what once went wrong, hoping that this leap will be the leap home. “Frankie, Ziggy says there’s a 93% chance that if you don’t hit a dinger in your next AB Donald Trump will be re-elected!”

The Astros or Brewers winning it all would be very fitting for this stupid season. Also, if it is the Astros, I will shamelessly argue that it is a legitimate title.

Nobody would begrudge you this one if they went out and earned it. 2017 still has the asterisk though.

Not quite, he pitched 5.2 innings that September, which still made his 02 postseason pretty ridiculous
