As a Yankee fan I do not feel at all over-confident. I'm never comfortable in the playoffs.

That was also the case in Yankees/Indians until game 5. Yankees seem to benefit from seeing a starter twice in the series.
Baker won't return as Nationals manager in '18

And who are they going to get post-season? 7 managers in 14 years. 2 year, $4m contract for Dusty. Love that man. Perhaps he was past his prime, but the Nats could have done it better.
Now that they've put themselves into the "win it all" box, they'd better be prepared to pay for it, if you want a manager who can grow and motivate the talent in that team.
Speaking of talent, if Roberts puts Grandal, Granderson or Utley in the lineup Tuesday, I'm gonna smack him upside the head. I will give Arrieta credit for a great game, but putting back to back strikeouts in the lineup cost us that game, imho.

Dusty was a lousy manager for the Cubs. Ruined a lot of talented arms there. That made beating the Nationals feel a whole lot better. While I think it's pretty spineless to drop him just like that, I don't think he's that great of a manager.

I find nothing in sports more exciting than Game 7.
Verlander was a beast. That was a brutal game to watch for a Yankee fan, especially the bottom of the 8th - Yanks looked tired. With CC pitching, maybe they will be able to quiet Houston's bats.
Dodgers patiently waiting in the Ravine for Game 1 Tuesday.

Buster Olney called it the greatest game in the history of baseball.

Unless you’re a Yankees fan.
That was one hell of a hit. My thought, was too bad it wasn't a Grand Slam like Kiki's the night before.
And what about Contrera's 491 foot bullet Wednesday night? Only 4 feet short of Judge's record 495 footer in July.
These guys have been hitting some amazing long balls.
Gee, I dunno. I think our game Thursday night was pretty exciting and epic. I'm still giddy about it. Made up for the Noles loss today...

I wish. No, I'm talking about the miserable performance this season of my alma mater's football team. These guys:
And to add insult to injury, our coach got into a shouting match (wanted to type another word, but it would have been blocked) with a fan after the game today....

Astros v Dodgers seems strange to me since they used to be in the same league and not so long ago even in the same division. The Astros are the first team to win a league championship in both leagues. Representing the NL in the 2005 WS they got swept by the White Sox. So they've been around since 1962 but still haven't won a single WS game. Verlander should change that pretty soon.

Verlander/Kershaw game 1?

I think it would be short rest for Verlander so it looks like they're going with Keuchel in game 1 and Verlander in game 2.
