Don Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Should be a good series. The Dodgers have been playing good ball and have had a great playoffs so far. The Astros need to play much better on the road if they hope to win, especially since LA has home field advantage. My team(s) are out but I have a soft spot for the Astros. So I am pulling for them. Go Astros! Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

11bee Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Doesn't appear to be much interest around here. I honestly forgot that Game 1 was on and watched something else. Astros are decent team to watch but not very easy to get behind them. Would have really liked a Yankee / Dodger series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loved the Bums when they were in Brooklyn but when they went west to Looney Tunes land I dropped them like a hot potato. Was kind of hoping for an Astros - Cubs series.

Cool Hand Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I'm rooting for the Dodger because Dave Roberts is the manager. For those who don't remember Roberts' contribution to the 2004 Red Sox: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Extra innings games always mess me up the next day...but boy was that a great game by both teams in game #2!! If every game is going to be like that then lets take it to 7! Regards, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a huge Yankee fan for most of my 70 years. This year's team had exceeded all expectations by a wide margin. Being an American league fan next with the exception of the Boston Red Sox, and being from NY, I grew up as an anti Brooklyn "Dem Bums" Dodger fan, but never forgave them nor the Giants for leaving NY and heading to the other coast. So I'm rooting for the Astros who took it to them with the long ball last night in game 2. One thing for sure, it's going to be a classic series. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hey Joel you Yankee fans sure have a great young player in Aaron Judge. He's only 25 and a beast at 6'7"!!! While not a Yanks fan myself I appreciate a good player and he's entertaining to watch. Regards, Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peterpools Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Moose, Joel is my brother and we've been life long Yankee and Giant fans. Hoops for me: the Kicks and on the ice; the Rangers. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm pulling for the Dodgers as if it wasn't for the Astros, it would have been a classic: Yankee vs Dodgers Series. I'm also an avid Nikon shooter since the film days and follow Moose Peterson's site and work. Edited October 28, 2017 by Peterpools Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 dn142, Still find it kind of weird that the NY Giants Met Life stadium is in New Jersey, but it's right over the GW bridge. Just no room on our side of the bridge for a stadium with decent parking. Even the Jets play there. But they could have built the stadium in the Fresh Meadows park where the Mets Citi Field is located. Every time I've been to any version of Yankee Stadium, the drive is a nightmare, and getting out of there is even worse. I know, but once a New Yorker, always a New Yorker. Even when I lived in Newport News Va, I always considered myself a New Yorker, not a transplanted Virginian Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The "Dallas" Cowboys haven't played in Dallas since 1971, when they moved to Irving. In 2008 they moved to Arlington, and are currently building a massive training facility in Frisco. The only association the Cowboys have with Dallas is their distant past... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
