So who you got for the World Series?
-
I’ll preface this by saying I’m a HUGE Phillies fan. Just curious who you boys think will win it all? I kinda think the astros are soft and the Phillies at home are too hard to beat. I’m biased obviously so I want some of the forums input!
-
I have 0 hate for the Astros, and I met Dusty in 2001, so I hope he finally wins it all.
That said, as a Mets fan, I love the Phillies. Go figure, so i have no problem if they win as well. I just want it for Dusty a bit more. -

Well, I've been wrong pretty much the whole way. Personally I just hope it goes 7. If I was a betting man I'd say Astros in 6 but that probably means Phillies in 7.
I think it'll be a great series.

I think it will be a competitive series, but the Astros are no joke, they are the class of the AL
-
The Astros have top tier starters bullpen pitching depth an ungodly offense...
so did the Braves and the Padres.
The phils have one of the scariest offenses too pitching better than expected so far, the key to the phils has been outhitting their pitching all year, if they can hit the astros, then they have a good chance. and hope the clock dont strike midnight before its over. -
Being from Houston of course I’m going to go with the

Tough call. I kind of want to see Philly win but some of their fans are nuts. Only game I have ever been to where their own fans were yelling verbal threats at their own OF (Doug Glanvile). Yet I still can't forgive Houstin for their past cheating. My prediction is that Houston wins, their pitching is just too deep.
-
Pretty easy for me. Astros are cheaters but MLB says we aren't allowed to talk about it because it tarnishes the sport. I don't get why the entire team didn't get lifetime bans. I think it is likely that they will win their first championship but I'll be rooting for the Phillies.

Really dont care who wins the WS as long as its not the Astros or Yankees. Astros are cheaters that should be banned from post season play, regardless if the have enough season wins to qualify division lead or a wild card spot. They should be forced to forfiet their spot to the team right under them in the standings. The Yankees won WS 2x & 3x more than any other team in baseball. I really never want to see the Yankees ever win a WS again.

The entire team didn't get lifetime bans because it was a league wide problem. The Astros were just the worst offenders. Alex Cora ran a similar scheme in Boston the very next year and all the hate is still on Houston. The only hitters on Houston's current roster that still have any affiliation with the sign stealing are Bregman, Gurriel, and Altuve. That said I still want the phillies to win, but I don't have any hatred towards the astros pitchers, Kyle Tucker, Pena, McCormick, Dusty, Etc. For 2017. The worst offenders (Springer, Correa, Marwin Gonzalez) are on different teams now anyway

LOL The whole league is guilty, we got punished. It's alright though. I get that the narrative is more fun that way.
We're winning this thing and then everyone that wants to talk about cheating, can watch the 2022 WS Highlights over and over and over and over and over and over...
