World Series Predictions

The home field advantage will keep Toronto afloat.  They are badly outmanned in pitching but are considered to be a slightly better hitting team than the Dodgers.  Starting pitching usually decides world series though. 

Because I see we have a few BlueJays fans here, and because I really dislike the Dodgers trying to buy the championship every year I will be rooting for the Blue Jays.  I am taking the Dodgers in 6 games though. 

Otani and Vlad Guerrero of the Blue Jays will both hit three home runs in the series.

Well, Toronto just proved my prediction wrong. and they assured themselves the chance to win everything at home. and have forced the Dodger to hit the road 1 more time

While my heart is with the Jays, my head is with the Dodgers.  Hopefully my head is wrong, just a few more hours till the start of game 1

Dodgers winning is a logical prediction.

However, baseball has often delivered surprises.

I am rooting for the underdogs.

My concern, and it's not ridiculous, is that Trump may have any Jays that are Latinos detained at the border out of spite for Premier Ford's Reagan quotations.

I happened to check the MLB scoring web site at the beginning of the bottom of the 6th inning.  I couldn't take my eyes off the progression.  If there ever was an inning I would have wanted to watch, boy, that was the one - 9 runs for the Jays - absolutely amazing.

Blue Jays 11, Dodgers 4.  Now, THAT was one DECISIVE WIN.  Keep it up, Jays.

Addison Barger hit the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history in Toronto’s nine-run sixth inning.

"In the meantime undefeated China leads the Pan Continental Curling Championships 8-0"

Really?  Curling is one of the sports I enjoy watching on TV here.  When I was a teenager it was one of my school's sports and we played at a curling club.  Chinese athletes have been doing really well in a lot of sports, and sports have become greatly encouraged by the government, not only for the health benefits but, combined with eradication of abject poverty..."bread and circuses".

Canada under Holman who won her  19th Grand Slam championship last weekend will take on China for the women's Gold today. Also Brad Jacobs will take on the USA ... could be a double G in the offing.

Since China is playiing, it will probably be on TV here, so I hope I can get to watch it.

And they did.  Now the Dodgers have the advantage back - 3 games on home turf.

They are badly outmanned in pitching but are considered to be a slightly better hitting team than the Dodgers.  Starting pitching usually decides world series though.

After that complete game performance by Yoshinobu Yamamoto tonight, I tend to agree.  But as a Giants fan, I feel obligated to chant

"Beat LA!"

I would like to have seen the Mariners get to the Series.  They are the only MLB team to never get to the World Series.

Oh, not good for his reputation, but then after all he was never a pitcher.

Yanamoto's excellent pitching plus the Jays undisciplined at bats were the reasons the loss.  Oh well hopefully they can turn it around in LA
