2019 World Series: Washington Nationals vs. Houston Astros

[Master Live 013]

A super matchup, for those who like pitching (of the starting kind) this is your series. 7 games for the Heavyweight Championship of Wooorld!

Series starts next Tuesday 7:08pm ET on FOX.

One of the few times we've had expansion team vs expansion team in the World Series. 2015 Royals over Mets is the only recent example I can think of.

No rooting interest, just want some good baseball and to enjoy every last game of these 'yoffs.

I voted Astros in 6/7 just because I think Strasburg/Scherzer/Rendon/Soto gets the Nats a minimum of 2 games.

Hoping this isn't an offense-fest. The pitching is too great.

Pretty sure I want Washington to win. I like many Astros players but I'm not a fan of ill-gotten gains.

I can't think of a WS matchup I've been this excited about in a while; two teams who really heavily on starting pitching with establish and young offensive talent. Should be an absolute blast...I love baseball.

We've made it an entire decade without the Yankees playing for a championship.

3,636 days.

I can't wait to tell my grandkids.

The last time that happened was the 1910's

Re: 2019 World Series: Washington Nationals vs. Houston Astros

not a fan of Houston in particular, nor an Astro-***** either, but since they just got the monkey off their back couple years ago, I'll be pulling for D.C. not a fan of Washington either, especially being a main Braves rival, but since this is the franchise first pennant, and D.C. hasn't won a WS in 95(?) years, gotta go with the Natinals. wonder if the people of Montreal think ''oh, what might of been''. same for Bryce, ''oh what might of been''. but I really dont believe the Nats could have done this with Bryce. its addition by subtraction. sorta like Barry Bonds in San Fran, though to be fair, he did take the Giants to the brink of a championship (game 7, 2003)


TLDR - D.C. in 6

pretty sure thats the only one, though back in '92 you had Toronto (a '77 expansion team) and Atlanta, who didnt have a team until after expansion started in '61 (Braves leave Milwaukee for Atlanta in '66)

cant wait to tell mine when it surpasses the '82-'95 Yanks aka the Mattingly Years lol

Either win this series or just don’t get swept, Nats.

Another random fact, its first time since late 60s/early 70s we've had this many consecutive seasons without Yankees,Cards or Braves in the WS.
