Padres vs Dodgers getting ready to start tonight.

Yankees vs Rays going on right now...

Cheering for the Padres. Hosmer, Myers and a couple pitchers.

If not them, go Rays

If not them, then go Braves

If not them, go anybody but the Patriots....I mean Astros.

Not sure why but it feels good to see Padres back in the mix

Fun team. Small market. Some loveable ex Royals.

Definitely rooting for the Padres. They're fun to watch.

Unfortunately looks like our rooting interest is going to be short lived if they don’t get some better at bats. Hosmer and Machado looked like pitchers at the plate tonight.

WTF? Why would Greinke do that?

Rays now representing all that is good and pure to end the Cheaters run. If they don't put away the Astros, I'll need to adopt the national league team. Blegh.

Am I super-vindictive because I really don't want Greinke to ever win a WS? Oh well.

Rays vs Braves would be such a fun WS. A team that’s never won it that represents playing somewhat the old fashioned way vs a team that always felt like it underachieved during it’s magic window. But we’ll get Astros vs Dodgers because 2020

Nobody wants the Astros, but that's also the exact scenario we talked about before this season... a team who finished the season with a losing record in the World Series.

Ouch. Truth bomb

Lol I missed the first inning. Dodgers up 12-0 in the second inning.
Braves 2-0 lead in series but I still think Dodgers go to WS.

The socks the Dodgers pitcher is wearing, are the stupidest things I've seen lately

this game is great

Atlanta sports fans aren't allowed to have anything good.

15-0 through 3. Tough scene.
