MLB News & Notes (other than Cubs or Sox)

And of course Scherzer looks meh tonight.

[rok]

The entire Dodgers team looks very meh.

[Auz]

Two down

[jeffy]

Get fucked, St. Louis.

[funkster]

Now the Astros need to beat the WS tonight.

[Butcher]

Now the Astros need to beat the WS tonight.

 

Man...that's a tough call. The Astros are just so hard to root for, but White Sox fans really need to shut the fuck up, ASAP. So...go Astros, I guess...

As much as I hate the Astros, there is no way I can bring myself to root for the White Sox.  Sadly, I was surprised to see the fangraphs staff is very bullish on the WS winning the World Series based on their informal poll.

[mrfelina]

It's nuts to root for Dusty and the Stros but here we are.

[funkster]

I had actually forgotten he was their manager until the other day.

[funkster]

I cannot believe Lance Lynn is their ace.

[jeffy]

This is going swimmingly so far.

[rok]

I will happily support Dusty in this struggle.

I know it's too early to say this after one game, but the White Sox looked overmatched yesterday. They play in a joke of a division and haven't been tested all season. They're .480 against teams above .500 and have absolutely feasted on the garbage teams in the AL Central. They're a good team, but not a great team. If by some miracle they get past the Astros, the Rays would eat them alive.

[funkster]

Yeah, I didn't think they matched up well with the Astros to begin with.  Maybe it will change, but this is a tough group in the playoffs this year and they feel like one of the lower rungs.
