    The fact that This Week in Baseball is not on television anywhere is a travesty. One of the greatest sports intro songs of all time too. 
    I wish they would do a weekly highlights again.  I think it would get people to appreciate players more.

    Listening to Buck last night only makes me wish he was calling the World Series more. Joe Davis is the definition of blah to me....although his Harper call was really good. I will give him that. 
    You don't think Buck and Aikman sound and delivery is alike?  
    Buck and Davis, you mean? I do think they are similar...which is all the more reason why Davis is blah. He's like a generic knock off version of Buck, without Buck's wit. 
    I do not agree with that - I think Davis matches Buck on silence, letting the moment breath, not talking too much, etc etc. But I think he actually lends emotion to his calls, as oppose to Buck who can turn the volume up but it's the same tone. What makes Buck good is the wry wit and deadpan humor, though.

    No, I think Aikman and Bucks voices sound alike.

    The layoff is dumb. Why make a big fuss about playing 5 games in 5 days in the LCS or whatever it was and all this talk about rushing the postseason to get all the games in....


    Then they take a week off?!

    Also, I was at the first Phillies game this year after they fired Girardi.  Phillies won. I feel like I played some small superstitious part in this.

    They have to account for if the LCS' go 7 games though.

    Because the schedule for World Series is set ahead of time and they didn't anticipate the Phils winning in 5 and the Yankees getting spanked in 4.   I know the NHL does the same thing with the Stanley Cup Finals where dates to start the Finals are pre-determined and they go from there so if the conference finals end early they wait.   Kind of annoying but honestly as a Phillies fan glad for the few days to recharge the batteries. These games have been so intense they wear me out just watching.

    I'm not making predictions.  Want Philly to win, for my wife and kid being fans, for my neighbors and all of the people around to be happy.  I'd love it if this was a classic back and forth series.

    I'm in the same boat, I'll be rooting for the Phills though. I do think they have a good shot at winning though. I doubt they'll get swept.

    Definitely pulling for Houston (shocker!) - I think it'll go 6 or 7 games & hope that Houston wins it all. Really hoping that it's a fun series.
