    Need a new topic!

    I think the Yankee's will get past the Twins and the D'backs will take the Rockies.

    Astros starter will not be their season long Ace Dallas Keuchel but Justin Verlander, which given how Verlander pitched in his short time with the Astros makes a lot of sense. Astros finished pretty strong at the plate as well. So I'm pretty upbeat about being able to take the Red Sox.

    I think everybody is predicting it will be the Indians vs the Dodgers.

    We'll see...play ball!

    :idea:

    The only team that looks like it doesn't belong is the Twins. I hope the Yanks put them out of their misery quickly...

    Good luck to all!

    Cleveland was my boyhood team as we didn't have any in Florida and I am from Ohio.

    They were pretty much an annual 2nd to the Yankees in the 50's. But they fell on hard times.

    With the Cubs winning it all last year I think Cleveland is now the team with the longest time since a championship.

    So this ex Ohio boy has to say go Indians.

    The Yankees were picked by the experts to finish anywhere from 3rd to 5th this year in the AL East so by all accounts they are having a successful season.

    Severino was clearly psyched out in the big spot last night but he had enough firepower behind him to bail him out. The story was the bullpen which surrendered only one run and struck out 13 in 8.2 innings.

    Now the big test in a short series against the team that I think is the best in baseball this year. This should be a good series.

    :idea: :arrow:

    Rockies vs. Snakes

    The Snakes have the better team and they're throwing Greinke....

    BUT......we really don't want to play any games in Colorado at this time of year.

    Gotta say those “Post Season” patches on the jerseys and helmets are pretty lame.

    Astros Jose Altuve goes deep 3 times! Astros handle the Sox in game 1. Only way to make Thursday better is for the Pat's to lose tonight as well!

    Cleveland looked very tough last night but how about that HP umpire. Following his strike zone was like playing Whack a Mole.

    Tall order for the Bombers today.

    What time do the Cardinals play?

    Personally I think Blue called a great game. Finally someone not afraid to call those corners and top and bottom brackets.

    The Cardinals didn't make the playoffs George.

    Oh wait a minute, you were being facetious!...I get it now!

    I have some retired players, both of who played for the Longhorns in the 60's and one had a good NFL career and a Super Bowl ring to go along with his Nat'l Championship ring. The other guy never played in the NFL.

    Astros hammer the Sox again today, going back to Boston. I like our chances,!

    I read an article about the Dodgers./Dbacks...quotes from the dback players talking about how much they respect the Dodgers.
