I'm just glad the Astros won yesterday. This way if Atlanta wins one of the next two we won't have to see a stadium full of racists gleefully display their racism. Plus the added benefit of seeing 40,000 dejected Astro fans.
Of course, a team coming back after being down 3-1 to beat the other team named after native Americans has happened in the past.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I know it's kind of nuts but I developed a kind of seething hatred for the Braves fans and their organization watching those playoff games. If I hadn't watched those games, there's no way I'd be rooting for the Astros but the Atlanta fanbase and org drove me over the edge. I can't stand those kinds of entitled fucks who are not going to let anyone or anything tell them they can't do what they want to do because hey, they like like it and it's fun (!), and any outside anger over their racist behavior is just a kind of reviled 'political correctness.'
The fact that the Braves organization is giving a big fuck you to the country (the thinking part) by starting the chop once every 20 minutes pumping in drum beats? They can seriously go fuck themselves.
And Dusty, no matter how much he drove me batty when he was managing the Cubs, is actually a good human being who has fought the fight for a long time and someone worth rooting for.
I'd like for both teams to lose but since that can't happen I guess I want the Braves to lose more. It's getting increasingly more difficult to separate politics from things like sports but man fuck the Braves and their organization.
Fuck the Astros and their organization too but fuck the Braves just a little bit more (if that makes any sense whatsoever).

Makes perfect sense and I absolutely see the logic behind your decision.

I was rooting for the Braves because I narrowly like their players more than the Astros' guys. The chop is awful, but if you want to go politics Georgia and Atlanta are more blue than Texas, so...
Also, so weird that Joc has won back to back WS. And that dude has a filthy mouth.?
Finally, agreed on earlier comments on the Bulls. Love that they beat both Utah and Boston post the injury.

Congrats to World Series MVP Jorge Soler.

I sort of forgot about Soler until this postseason. Good for him.
That homer he hit was a fucking BOMB.
