Any baseball fans?

Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell (core of the Killer B's)

When these guys were with the Stros I loved them. But this team doesn't resemble that early 21st century squad (plus, Craig's son, Cavan, plays for Toronto). Even with that shared history I can't root for Houston (especially after last year). Don't think they're as hated as the Yankees yet but how many fans live outside of Houston?

Anyone surprised? NLCS Final with Braves, 8pm (EST) tomorrow.

Well, I grew up a Yankee fan so rooting for L.A. is... out.

I've never been as happy to be wrong.

Ha. Tampa Bay goes to the Final!

Catcher, Mike Zunino, the series MVP, hit the sac fly to give Tampa a 4-0 lead, which they kept til the end.

This has been a helluva year for Tampa, Stanley Cup champs and now the World Series.

And a correction: Zunino was the star of the night but Randy Arozarena is the ALCS MVP. Much deserved.

The top seed in the AL, Tampa Bay Rays, will face the top seed in the NL Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting Tuesday.

I think the Dodgers are the better team, but I'm rooting for the underdog Tampa.

Game 1 is all Dodgers, currently 8-1
