Brewers vs White Sox is what I want. But for MLB the Tampa Milwaukee WS is the nightmare… so I'll root for that too

Any combination works that doesn't include LA or NY

I'd also prefer to not have Atlanta. They won in 2021 and I still don't like them

I'm officially bored out of my mind without Astros baseball and it hasn't even been a week.

My son asked the same.

While i don't want Atlanta to win, due to the 90's and the NL, I'd much rather them win than doyers or yanks.

Doesn't compare to Astros baseball, but right now I'm enjoying some NY/LA hate watching.

I am all in on the brew crew. I don't mind Tampa getting to the WS but don't want them to win it on account of the Yordan vs. Caminero MVP debate

The White Sox are so fun. I hope they make a run. I miss when we were like them.

The road back to an era like Breggy, Springer, CC, Yuli and the GOAT seems like a long one.

If I can't have TB vs Brew Crew to piss of MLB, I want the Dodgers to win it all again for maximum damage to the negotiations with the other owners next season. Burn it all down and hope it takes all the Dodger financial fraud and their mega contracts with it.

That first inning in St. Pete last night was so much fun. Made up for the nausea I felt later when I heard the bandwagon go nuts for Rice's homer.

It was a clown show on the level of what I saw from the Astros some innings this season.

Here's mine:

1. Milwaukee - My niece goes to Marquette
2. Tampa - Because it would enrage the Yankees
3. San Diego - One of my favorite road ballparks
4. Atlanta - Another great road ballpark
5. Chicago - no real feelings
6. Cleveland - cowards for changing their franchise name.
7. Nazi Germany
8. Team Satan
9. The Rangers in some sort of weird tie-breaker that was overlooked
10. The Yankees, but only if Judge is hurt and misses the entire post-season
11. My Ex-Wife
12. The Dodgers

I would go with the Dodgers before the Rangers and Seattle for a WS. Seattle is working its way up the hate ladder due to being such ******bags.

Doobie just made a catch in LF I'm pretty sure not a single one of our many "LF'ers" could make.

Charley Kerfeld knows one who could make it, but I think he was stuck in Sugarland for reasons. Reasons that will hopefully be gone within a few days of the WS ending.

Yes… But… We saved an extra couple of million by training him away which I'm sure we totally used to become a better team

Just crazy to me that with all our needs and potential holes, that let the guy walk. He's a plus defender at basically all 7 positions, and managed to finish with an OPS over 700 this year, which would have been good enough for 6th best on our lousy team this year just behind CDUB

So I just saw on SportsTalk 790's instagram post that they had a caller from South Fla say that the reason things are so quiet on the managerial front is that the Astros are waiting for the Yankees season to finish so they can make Brad Ausmus the GM.

And for the amount of money it "saved" that we then didn't even use. He was already super cheap

Oh, come now, Nick Allen was a great replacement for Dubon.

He actually wasn't that bad. Well he was at first but he got better. I'm not mad at us getting Allen.

But you could have gotten him while also having Dubon. Or traded for Allen this offseason after you let Dubon walk in free agency
