    George is absolutely right. It's not my thing, but it's most certainly a thing. There's a lot of money at stake.

    The Dodgers went from going long ball to swinging inside out and going with the pitch to take a 3-2 series lead behind Kershaw. I'd assume they'll throw Ryu and then it's the entire arsenal for a game 7, if needed. I really enjoy the way the Brewers play the game.

    Astros down 3-1, fan interference call was big as was the security guard blocking the camera that might have confirmed that Betts reached into the stands with his glove and was fair game. But we had our chances. I won't be surprised if the rSox close us out tonight, every thing seems to be going their way right now.

    Fire up Tessie and sing along with the champions of the American League. Houston, thank you for your hospitality. Go Sox!

    Congrats to the rSox. They mowed us down! Clearly had the better team.

    Puig's prediction that the Dodgers would end the series tonight turned out as well as his earlier prediction that the Dodgers would sweep the Brewers. A clown who went 0-4 and missed the cut off on the Brewers first run probably should get out of the prediction business.

    On to game 7.

    Congrats to LA. After Taylor's sensational catch, pretty much knew that tonight was not going to be our night.

    But, on the bright side, MKE has all its key players locked up for several years. Our ace, Jimmy Nelson, will be back next year and Burnes and Woodruff will move into starting rotation and be part of a solid rotation.

    So even though MKE is the smallest metro market in the MLB, we will be playing with the big boys again next year.

    Dodgers vs rSox should be a very good series. Have these two ever played in a WS before?

    So Corey I noted you've started using Show "Stros ? What does that mean? I know people used to use the Lastros as a moniker, I'm not getting the new one though?

    They insisted on calling themselves that, I'm just obliging them in their request.
