GDT: All things Baseball part 2, the one where the White Sox make history!

Feel like owners should be encouraged to spend more in baseball, not less.

That said, I realize the Yankees are obnoxious and get why people cheer against them lol

Oh trust me, I'm a Pirates fan, I'd love nothing more than the league to institute a minimum spending threshold.

I'm a Nats fan these days, so very much in favor of a hard cap and spending floor, and I get why people find the Yankees obnoxious, but since I never had any attachment to the Braves, watching the Yankees when I was in upstate NY for college was the first time I had ever really got at all invested in baseball. So I still pull for them when I'm watching unless they're playing the Nats.

Also, I got to see Stanton play a few times when he came through Greensboro in A ball. So watching his run right now (just hit a big 3 run shot!) is pretty fun.

Nats are my NL “bandwagon” team since I’ve been in DC. Not a huge fan but I love going to the games. Plus one of my happy memories was watching them win the world series (on tv) with my nephew (who is a Nats fan).

Can't say I'm a fan of the remaining teams. Go chaos I guess

Freddie Freeman, wow

 

[cptjeff]

Turns out that's the first walk off grand slam in World Series history. Also the worst bullpen decision in World Series history.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Freddie Freeman, wow

Hate he's not with the Braves but still love Freddie!

Even if we win this series, I want Boone fired, if not executed.

Haven't followed baseball for a long time and I don't like either team. Having said that, I like the match up. Two old school teams, east vs. west, best regular season record in each league, Ohtani vs. Judge, significant star power beyond those two on each team. Oh, and I guess they each have pitchers, as well, lol?

I've wanted that since 2003. I did grow up outside Boston after all (though yes, the Sox annoy me as well now)

It’s legitimately awesome for baseball. Just horrible for my sanity.

I think I saw somewhere that this series has the most league MVPs playing in a single matchup.

I'm just rooting for high drama so, off to a good start
