I was watching with my kids and I dropped a major F bomb and started cussing out the pitcher. I hate the Astros more than any team.

My 4 year old, was like, “what’s wrong dad?” Oops lol
Agree 100 percent. They ruined the purity of the game. Just like this pitch clock, and radio-ing in signs.

Purity of the game? That has been gone for many, many years. Every team has been stealing signs, or trying to, for a hundred years. Some better than others and some worse. That whole 2017 debacle was orchestrated by Alex Cora, who as you remember went on to manage the Red Sox and got fired for a year for....... wait for it...... stealing signs and cheating. Also, the other main guy was Carlos Correa. Yet, their names aren't mentioned when this comes up every single season. The vaunted Yankees were doing it in 2017 and got caught, but nothing happened to them. If I remember correctly, there were a couple of others mentioned as cheating during that time.

You guys may or may not know this, but I believe Altuve said he DID NOT want to know what was coming and refused to participate, yet he is, to this day, still accused and harassed for it.

The PitchCom has replaced one finger down, but Altuve seems to be doing just fine without a sign to steal, especially against the Rangers. In early September, he hit four home runs at their ballpark in consecutive at bats, and the Astros have outscored Texas 79-36 in the eight games played since that series.

Last night was his eighth homer in seven games against the Rangers. Like it or not, they're his personal bitch. That doesn't mean Texas will fold up when game six starts on Sunday night, but I like the Astro's chances.

Dodgers fans can see the game live on FS1, it starts at 5 PM. It's not like they have anything else to do, right?

🤣

Rangers are the only team to not to give into the gay/trans/nun pride shit, they just played baseball. Let's go Rangers

You're right. They were... But we have so many AZ folks here on RDP that are D-Backs fans.. I'm conflicted, lol. I would just like to see a good series. Glad that AZ took the Phillies down tho, their fans are really something special.

I'm glad the Rangers and Seager took down the Astros since Seager got cheated out on the championship in 17

Note my qualifier copied and pasted below. I didn't expect the Astros to go as far as they did, and the Rangers offense was incredibly powerful all year.

Altuve kicked ass against Texas. That didn't change.

I feel the same way you do after all the bullshit over the past few years but pick my battles lately. It’s nice to forget about it all for a while and enjoy a WS game.

I just have honest conversations with our girls to help them see through the bullshit. Lately, they have been sharing info with me. Lol

🖕The Rangers!!!

They looked unbeatable last night. 😉

I think I saw the odds at the beginning of the year were 125:1 for the Diamondback to win the World Series. Nice pay off for betting on the hometown team. 😉

Business investor news says the casinos are hoping for a Diamondback win.

400:1 if you picked an Exacta ( Diamondback/Ranger ).

After the game last night…and a few cocktails, I told my wife we should go to a game. It’s our anniversary and we usually figure out a day to spend together. We haven’t figured out this year yet…at least that was my reasoning.

When I woke up this morning and walked in to the kitchen for coffee, she looked at me and said “don’t ask how much they were.” :oops:

Let’s go D’Backs!!

Suffice to say your going to be doing some extra special servicing of her needs for awhile? Lol
I hope it's a dream of a game for you for your aniversary date night.

Thank you.

My motto has always been ladies first…maybe that’s why she deals with as big of a dumb ass as me. 😜 :oops:😂

Tomorrow. Never been to a WS game…looking forward to it.


It’s electric!! Every pitch, every hit, every out is so incredibly meaningful.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had was going to a couple WS games. The crowd is pumped.

You both are going to have a blast!

4 hours before the game and it was already packed. Get here early if you plan on making a game.

What time did you arrive? I have tickets for tomorrow, gates open at 2, I was going to get down there around 12 or 1 and try to get lunch somewhere, is it too busy to do that?
Guy Fieri’s had a 2 hour wait at 1 when we got here. Go straight to Crown Public House and it won’t be too bad…although it is Halloween tomorrow. Parking prices doubled if you use one of the private lots.
