as my then 4-year-old daughter once said long ago, 'yay for the astros, boo for the other guys!'

tip o' the cap to the rays. what a great series!
Next season should be really interesting. Hell, this season was!
Yanks vs Astros will produce a worthy champion no matter who wins. I initially thought that we would end up with a Dodgers-Yankees WS, but the Nats had other ideas. Wouldn't mind seeing Washington in the World Series.
I want to see Washington win the World Series. That's as impossible as the Red Sox or Cubs winning a World Series. If those things can happen, anything can happen. Meaning that the Mariners could win a World Series someday.
As a once upon a time Mets fan, I have to root for the Astros against the Yankees on general principles.

Lenny Dykstra and Curt Schilling each think they have a shot at being the Phillies' new manager.

Gimme Buck Showalter or Joe Girardi.
Please.

Girardi, at least, has managed in the NL. Dunno 'bout Showalter.

RRIIIGGGGHHHHHTTTTTT............
Showalter is old school, but willing to adapt to some analytics which would be necessary to be the Skipper of the modern Phills. He's got the acumen for the job for sure imo.

I think nowadays, with all the emphasis on analytics, I think the key to being a good manager is dealing with the players, keeping them motivated and on track. Joe Torre wasn't the greatest in game manager, but he got his team playing their best. Buck always struck me as the opposite.
Girardi just interviewed with the Cubs. David Ross interviewed as well and is the fan favorite, but we shall see.
He's a hell of a Skip and did it on the biggest stage for, what, 10 years? I think he just reached a shelf life in NY. Anywhere else he would have still been their guy.
Yeah the thing I'm reading that's coming out of Philly land is they want a tighter ship. The days of the loosey goosey look to be over in the City of Brotherly Love. That's why I think Joe Madden is all but a name mentioned only. He's too close to what Kap was. Then there is the epic fall.

It's interesting, and there's truth to it, but to be fair the Dodgers have developed a really really good farm system as well.

Both caught there. Both have roots.
Meh. Nothing big to say either way.
ESPN says the Phil's owner fired their manager over the protests of the front office. Seems like a recipe to guarantee they won't get a good manager. Unless someone was desperate, why would they take that slot?
