I really hate it when the Astros are overwhelming favorites.

'Stros had quite an upset last night. I'm still thinking they'll take it, but since neither are my team, I'd like an exciting Series. Phils delivered that last night. I'm looking forward to some back-and-forth.

Well, now it's a new series. Astros had some sloppy fielding at the end, but got away with it.

Itās a Damn shame the way some eating establishments are treating the Astros, Rude, to the max, they werenāt treated that way in Houston, and loving to hawk the cheating š©to death, Iām sure the Phillies never cheated. Hereās hopeing the Astros take their Phillie Cheese Steak and stick it where the sun DONT shine. I Garronte!

Most of the other teans were doing the same thing if they could. One arse hole kept making noise about the Astros and they couldn't ignore it. The Yankees are the masters of it. People have been stealing signs for as long as there's been baseball. If I lived in Philadelphia I would do anything to help feel better about myself. š

One more thing I didnāt like that Rapš©at the start of the fourth game, doesnāt belong in baseball at all I Garronte! You were hoping for zydeco? I was disappointed by fan behavior, too. I get that Philly has waited a long time and much alcohol was involved, but I donāt think that stuff belongs in a gentleman's game. I dump on the Yankees all the time with fans I know, but it's just harmless regional rivalry. They give it right back. But I am really disappointed when people are throwing cans at players and such. Heck, Phillies phans were beating each other up in bars (see: alcohol). And the cheating thing was funny 5 years ago. If people can't see that every team has done it, they're not looking very hard. Astros happened to take the fall. Move on. |

Yep, you're right,move on, was for a while bending towards the Phillies, they had a long drought, but behavior and resturants not serving Astros, then cursing Mattres Mack, changed my mind. No class! Oh a Lille Fai Do Do Music would have been appreciated.š¤£šŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖ Toner Ma Sa Say Bon !

Charlie Dusty made a comment that soured me on him, he lamented the fact that there was no black player in the Series, the fact is black athletes donāt want the minors payscale, so they settle for a bigger pay in other sports, itās the system . I realize at his age he has seen prejudice and I admire him for presaverice, but it would have been a lot classier to acknowledge the player he had on his roster. Go ASTROS!

Hard to argue with that, Brad. I have often quoted the excerpt from MLK: ājudge a man not by the color of the skinā, but recently read an article by Reggie Jackson that gave good food for thought in a broader context given the totality of the speech. www.milwaukeeindependent.com/featured/reggie-jackson-mlks-dream-not-colorblind-seeing-value-every-color/ā REGGIE JACKSON: MLKāS āDREAMā WAS NOT ABOUT BEING COLORBLIND BUT SEEING THE SAME VALUE IN EVERY COLORā That is one thing about sports, at its core it is merit based and blacks are represented at a far higher degree in the NFL/ NBA per capita than whites, because the individuals are the best at what they doā¦they just happen to be black Americans. |

My favorite player of all time is Jimmy Wynn.
It's funny here in the sticks that none of the local media, TV and newspapers, ever mention baseball. Not even an announcement of who won the World Series. I believe that baseball is losing it's popularity.

Certain people love to quote that line. In of the context of the speech and MLK's philosophy in general, it doesn't mean what they think it does. Or they probably wouldn't be quoting a socialist Christian to bolster an unjust system. I bookmarked the article for a read later. |

It's great that we can still learn from a person that was widely rejected in his day, and proven to have been ahead of his time.
