Okay, I've decided I'm rooting for Washington in the World Series

[gratuitous]

I don't really have any connection to the Houston Astros or Washington Nationals, so I was just hoping for a good World Series. But this little incident in the locker room after the Astros beat the Yankees Saturday night has pushed me into the Nationals' camp.

Story from ESPN with video from a reporter who was there Saturday night here.

1. GOOD!

2. Me too!

3. I'm torn. Brett Kavanaugh is a Nat's fan. And he has season tickets.

And who knows who paid for them. And apparently the Astros are assholes too. I guess i'll just watch cause i'm a baseball fan.

At least the Yankees aren't in it.

4. Yes,

At least the Yankees aren't in it!

SORRY you mentioned that kav guy.

5. Well, me and kav have something in common. We like beer and baseball.

Though I've never been accused of dropping my pants to expose myself in a womans face.

6. Teams can't control who decides to be a fan

But the Astros can certainly decide who's on their roster and how their assistant general manager conducts himself. Pile on top of that their lame excuse for their front office guy's behavior and not making him available to reporters, and you've got the makings of a real jerk parade.

But yeah, at least the Yankees missed the Series for the 10th consecutive year. They missed 11 straight years from 1965 through 1975, so I'm hoping they beat that string.

7. Funny, the Astros beat Chapman. Both closers have something in common.

So i guess "Go Nats".

Though Springer is from near me.


I'm still torn.
