Thought we could open a thread on the Fall Classic in hopes some would share their best baseball stories. I know Gooch has a few. Spider seems to not care much for baseball but I know he has some collectibles that are awesome. WE have a big Detroit Tigers fan as well. Maybe some wagering tips. I have the line at Boston -155 and LA at +105...I'm very disappointed the reining CHAMPS didn't make it but my Astros should be contenders for the next few years. Right now I' am leaning Bo Sox but for some reason I've loved the Sox since I was a youngster. Jim Rice and Fred Flynn were favorites but The YAZ remains one of my favorite players of all time. I recall walking home from elementary school on crisp October afternoons listening to Yaz and the Sox battling those Damn Yankees on my transistor radio. Oddly enough, I still have that Portable transistor radio and even more weird is the fact the batteries still work! This was way before the Bunny...
Play Ball!

Spank,Sox are only -140 up here in home territory and even that seems like a bad number. Your bookie is screwing you. Ted Williams

Pretty good predictor for post season results is combining season long stats for home runs and strikeouts, hitting and pitching alike as well as # of errors.
Dodgers Hit: 235 home runs, Struck out: 1436x, Fielded errors:100x, Induced strikeouts: 1565x, Gave up home runs: 179x
Red Sox Hit: 208 home runs, Struck out: 1253x, Fielded errors: 77x, Induced Strikeouts: 1558x, Gave up home runs: 176x
HR Advantage LA +24
K Advantage BOS +176
E Advantage BOS -27
Boston probably win this about 2/3 of the time.

If Kershaw does not win tonight, I think Sox sweep.

Boston in six games...if not less....too many hitters on the sox team that can hit the top speed pitches and the sucker, lower wind ups....and the pitching is as good or better than the Dodgers...and the nice part is that regular t v , ie , fox will be showing the World Series games as none of the regular t v channels showed any of the games this year in Canada...but then fox is American owned....wonder if the blue jays had made the playoffs if they would have been shown on regular channels...Bosox in six...tonight's score should be way up in double digits ....lol....these should be very high scoring games...I hope for seven games and the seventh a real shoot out...lol...good luck on your betting tickets...oh, and too many experts are suggesting pitching will be the difference but there is no Whitney Ford on either team...just a lot of hitters that can...lol

lol...game two tonight...'i' ma figuring that today the dodgers will be swinging at every thing , even balls that have not been thrown yet....lol...boston 11....dodgers 5.....boston should be bringing in a lot of the base runners more often now...and the dodgers getting caught stealing bases....lol..good luck to those betting the games...and will the buffalo bills get more than 15 points in this game up coming ??...they certainly are due to...but they are playing a much better team...lol...are they not...and the point spread may be beaten...just out of sheer good fortune...the odds say so...bills good defense but nothing in the receiving areas...to many injuries of important bread and butter players...but then , a rookie may just show up or two that can ....And do...lol...
