Crazy series... great team

Congrats Nat's!

[Viva]

This is one of the few times that I can celebrate for something associated with Washington D.C.

[iceman]

Wow. Congrats.

[The AD]

Great Series and congrats to the Nats. Well deserved.

Gonna be kinda awkward if they decline the WH visit.

Fuck I hope they do but I won't hold it against them if they don't.

They wouldn't want to miss the opportunity of having Trump regaling them with stories from his legendary baseball career.

[This End Up]

Is this the first WS where the home team never won a game?

Trump will visit there house's instead.

He can just come to the parade. It'll be a bigger crowd than his inauguration.

It's the first 7 game playoff series in any major sport to have this happen.

[ex-powderbroker]

The guy's just a fuckup. It's still sad.

There may be two sides to it, but given his track record I don't have a great feeling about his innocence.

[Danno]

Yep.

Saying there's two sides to every story doesn't mean he isn't guilty.

[SkiBall]

Maybe the daughter kept throwing his drugs and/or booze in the toilet.
Obviously not in recovery.

I was talking out my ass, for whatever reason (well the reason is alcohol) it just seemed like stuff a vindictive person (i.e. his wife) would lay on a person more than the truth but what the fuck do I know? I shoulda just kept my mouth shut, my bad. Sorry.

Psyched for DC and the Nats though. I'm driving down there tomorrow (not because of the series, just coincidence), maybe I'll go to the parade on Saturday.

[ex-powderbroker]

Do it man, bring any expos gear you have!

It is not without its possibilities. It is not like that kind of stuff doesn't happen.
Just the timing and that feeling that it is based in some kind of truth here.

And I have an Expos hat I'll loan ya.

It's the first 7 game playoff series in any major sport to have this happen [home team never won].

which is pretty incredible when you think about it (it had never happened through a game 6 even). If you did it with coin tosses, the chance of a 6 game happening is 1 in 64, a seven game series 1 in 128. There have been alot more than that, especially given that basketball and hockey use them, and it's not just the final series but all the 7-game playoffs. Now granted only a minority go to 7 games, and there is some home field advantage, but you'd think it would have happened before in a 6 game series at least. Home field advantage really isn't that much in baseball, more in other sports From https://www.npr.org/2019/10/30/77485...ters-in-sports :

So in baseball, it's about a 4% edge relative to, say, a 50/50 game. If you took two teams that were relatively evenly matched, paired them up at where one of the teams was a home team, that home team is going to win about 54% of the time [yeah I know it should either be an 8% edge or 52% percent of the time- not sure which mistake he made]. And if you were to contrast that to other sports, say, like the NBA, you could take two NBA teams that were roughly the same in terms of talent, put one of them at home, and that home team is going to win about 62% of the time.

from another source https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-major-sports:

NBA: 73 percent
NHL: 59 percent
NFL: 59 percent
MLB: 51 percent

the astros have been so good at home during the last few years... the yanks never figured that place out. tip of the cap to the nats!

[Woodsy]

Wow.

Rendon is gonna make all the money
Max Scherzer just punched his ticket to Cooperstown if there was any question

[BmillsSkier]

Major props to Frankie Lindor and Berto Perez for winning Gold Gloves at SS and C! Here's hoping for one more year together with these awesome players.

[SkiBall]

JBJ doesn't get it? KK must have had one hell of a defensive season.

Lindor will look good in Dodger blue next year.

Nice to see Bellinger get a much deserved gold glove this year. The cool thing about him, is he could easily win one at all 3 outfield positions or at 1st base.
