I have suddenly become a Nationals fan for the next few games.  Gonna be in DC next week, and I want to go to an MLB playoff game.  :)  Never been to one before.  You know, because the Rangers suck most of the time, and then are only good when I don't have time to go up there.  Fuckers.

E:  Gotta buy some tshirts and a hat.  Start calling them the "Nats," and saying "we" when talking about them us.  It'll be great.

E2:  Fixed that last "them."

Red Sox went down just as I predicted. <_<
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Encarnacion's injury just killed them. Couldn't bat around it.

In honor of the ALCS matchup--

The Yankees are a stronger team than their regular season record would indicate.  Their expected W-L record based  on run differential 100-62 - they basically had a lot of bad luck in one run games.  Hicks, Sanchez, Didi, and Holliday all missed significant time due to injury but all are back and healthy for the playoffs.  Unlike the Indians who had some injury issues postseason.

That said, beating the Indians was a fluke, with Kluber suffering two bad games in a row.

Not particularly a Cubs fan, but I do like their manager and a lot of their players.  More importantly, though, I detest the Nationals.  Heck, if the Nationals advance to the NLCS, I'd even root for the Dodgers over them.

Less tattoos, more chest hair, replace the gabagool with mazoh ball soup.
