IUFLA Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 Out of the remaining teams, who I would like to win the World Series, listed in order... 1. Padres... Never won it... San Diego hasn't won anything since their AFL title in the 60s 2. Phillies... Still fell sorry for them for 1964, and I like both Harper and Schwarber... 3. Yankees... Gluttons! 4. Astros... Although I like Dusty Baker, they haven't paid full penance for the pitch tipping scandal, and I'll be tired of seeing Astros gear by the day after they win it... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 BTW, I saw Bill Walton sitting behind home plate at the Phils-Padres game... On NBA Opening Night no less... The guy that was sitting next to him was looking for the fentanyl vendor... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did try to watch the 76ers-Celtics game... I really did... But between the fashion show and Marcus Smart and Joel Embid making the game into an "NBA Wives with Jockstraps" episode, I just couldn't get into it...

jv1972iu Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) Not that I care...but geez, Matt Carpenter is a shadow of the player he used to be. Four K's as DH is bad. I'm amazed that NY even has him on the roster as bad as he looks. I'm pretty sure he's had some injuries, so I guess maybe I should cut him some slack. Then again...he's a former Cardinal, so screw him. 😂😂😂 Edited October 20, 2022 by jv1972iu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being unable to put the ball in play really surprised me. But then, I never imagined that Joey Votto could look as bad as he has late in his career. Age catches up with everyone, unfortunately.

Age catches up with everyone, unfortunately. Carpenter was a solid pick up by the Yankees. But he did suffer a fractured foot the tail end of the season. As far as Votto, I hope he heals over the winter as the Reds are gonna need him next year if they want to avoid losing a 100 again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Itch musta gotten to Bochy... I always liked Guillen as a manager... Lots of White Sox fans I know hate Kenny Williams because he ran Ozzie off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
