It is a little strange to see the more expensive teams and the teams that won over 100 like the Mets, Dodgers, and Braves are sitting down while the Phillies who didn’t even win 90 are there.

It just worked out that way.

I would feel good for Dusty Baker given everything he went through in his life.

I just want it to be over so I can get into the off season ie. Who is available in free agency, trades etc.

Aaron Judge is a free agent. There are some rumors he wants to go to the San Francisco Giants.

How the fuck did Philly win last night? Especially after down 5-0?

It does make it interesting. There is a reason why they play the games.
I would’ve said Houston with a 90% lock, now it’s Houston 70%.

That is based on the Astros tying series. They hold a 5-1 lead.
Sorry if I jinx it.

That is some serious record Houston has for recent history, but they do have a win to show for it.
Reminds me of when the Atlanta Braves won it, and a player said ‘you don’t want to end up like the Buffalo Bills…’

It is so damned hard to make that final step, and this is as close to Dynasty as it gets (until the Yankees buy it).
I do think the Astros deserves to win.

(Fair bias notice, I never liked Philly ever since John Kruk and all those other beer-bellies lost to Toronto in 1993.)

Eagles are undefeated so far! They look strong.

Bills aren’t taking prisoners either. Would be a nice Super Bowl matchup. Indestructible force meeting immovable object! 🤣

But that’s a long way off…

SUCK IT, PHILADELPHIA!!!

THE HOUSTON ASTROS ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!

Most people have seen clips of New Zealand in rugby doing their Haka challenge before games.

Not as many know Tonga and Samoa do too and this weekend they played each other. Take a look at this.

🔥 WOW

Samoa and Tonga leave Warrington shaking after facing off ahead of this massive quarter-final clash.

This is unmissable.#RLWC2021 | #TONSAM pic.twitter.com/uxaVSYaOoh

— Rugby League World Cup 2021 (@RLWC2021) November 6, 2022

Saturday, November 5, 2022, is probably the worst day in Philadelphia, PA sports history as they lost TWO national championships on the same day.

In baseball, they lost the World Series to Houston with Game 6.

In major league soccer, they lost the MLS Cup to Los Angeles on penalty kicks.

That Vikings Bills game was wild! Who wanted to win?

The Bills showed the league a lot in that playoff game last year. Some games they take no prisoners, but they took a step back with these two straight losses.

Soul search time.
