It looks like at the beginning of this series the Brewers hitters looked themselves up and down in the mirror and said "Oh shit, we really aren't this good."

Not that I would have any rooting interest, but it would be kinda cool to see Schwarbs and KB in another WS. There, I said it.

I watched the Giants/Dodgers game and Red Sox/Rays games yesterday. I've always liked the Red Sox and felt somewhat of a kinship with that fanbase, and so I always sort of half-heartedly root for them when they're in the playoffs. And it's been fun to see Schwarber succeed and be embraced there. But I just can't bring myself to care enough to get fully invested in any other team's success. It feels hollow. I'll still watch most of the postseason games just because I love baseball, but...I don't know. When/if the Red Sox or Giants get bounced, I won't care that much, either.

Like I said, I have no rooting interest, but just as a fan it would be a small moment of nostalgia to see them both competing in a WS again.
But very true, I don't understand these weirdo Cubs fans still crying over these players no longer being with the organization. I was so done with this core, going on 3 years, and beyond ready to move on.

Maybe the Astros aren't as good as some believe? Also Dusty.

I love me some Carlos Correa. Someone tell him the C on our ball caps stands for "Carlos."

Correa is good - yeah, there’s a news flash.
Rodon pitched him all break balls in first at bat then turned around and pitched 3 straight fastballs in second AB - with bases loaded. Correa seemed off on first 2 pitches then sent the 3rd straight fastball into LF for a 2 run double.
