As part of the settlement when you win, you can make it incumbent on Manfred to force the immediate ouster of Bob Nutting as owner of the Pirates.
:D :o :shock: :lol:
If only this were possible.

Series starts in Los Angeles on Friday. You can change your picks up to noon Friday. It's just a good round number, I work Thursday night so before I lay down for a nap, we'll have it all set.

Also, pick the total number of home runs between the two teams for the entire series as a tiebreaker. The closest without going over will be recognized as the World Series Home Run Champion, so we all have a chance at winning something even if we don't win the actual contest. The winners get absolutely nothing except bragging rights and a years worth of adulation. Just like the team you want, you can change your number up till noon Friday.

Good luck!!

surgnbuck-Yankees. They have the best starting pitcher with Gerrit Cole who will certainly go two, if not possibly three games. I also think their bullpen has the superior former Pirate in Clay Holmes, over the Dodgers Anthony Banda. I think Soto/Judge/Stanton is slightly superior to Ohtani/Betts/Freeman simply because Freeman isn't 100%. I predict a 7 game series. I predict 35 home runs.

I’m going with the Dodgers in six or seven games. I’ll say 27 HRs in total.

Say what? They start Friday on West Coast and fly to the East Coast next day and play.

I think you got that wrong!
When I wrote this last night, the mlb.com site showed that the Series was starting in NY. Now it’s showing it begins in LA. This was obviously a conspiracy plotted against me personally by the commissioner to besmirch my good name. Rest assured I’ll be seeing him in court.
:lol: :lol: :lol: I too thought it started in NY but then remembered LA had more wins.

After wracking my brain for several days (quite a tortuous ordeal these days), I think we will see the Dodgers come out on top in this one.
Sorely tempted to go with the Yankees, but, as hot as their power bats have been, they can go cold just as quickly. Even with more healthy starters, I think the depth of the Dodgers line-up will prevail here.

Dodgers in 6/19 HR's
