The MLB thread

Just in case no one noticed... Houston was #1 seed in the AL (wild card bye). In the ALDS, they swept Seattle 3-0, in the ALCS they swept New York 4-0.

This thing could be over in 4 games. Now I'm starting to wonder how many other teams have ever gone through the post-season without a single loss.

Phillies win game 1.  It's like if I say it, fate says, "Screw you, the opposite thing!"

Astros caught cheating again - Kinda

Astros catcher used an illegal bat in game 1.

Houston's up 3-2, only need one more.

We can't let the Phillies win. When a baseball team from Philly wins the world series, the markets shit their guts out. 1929, 1980, 2008.

In other words, Joe Biden is the president, so... the Phillies are going to win.
