Hey guys,

The 2018 World Series is only a couple of days away

This year should be a GREAT one

For the 1st time ever, it's the Boston Red Sox taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers 2 teams that have won the World Series a combined total of 14 times

The Los Angeles Dodgers returns to the World Series after losing last year's Game 7 at home to the Houston Astros who won their very 1st World Series in Franchise History

The last time the Dodgers won a World Series was 30 years ago with the great Tommy Lasorda as their manager

The Dodgers UPSET the favorite Oakland A's 4-1 to win their 6th World Series

Fast Forward to 25 years later, the last time the Boston Red Sox won the World Series was in 2013 in front of their own Home Crowd @ Fenway Park and it's their 1st World Series Win @ home in 95 since 1918 when they def. the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 to win their 8th World Series

and now, 5 years later, the Red Sox are back and so are the Dodgers who've won Back to Back National League Championships

Who will WIN the World Series?

Will the favorite Boston Red Sox win the World Series for a 9th time or will the Dodgers FINALLY UPSET the Red Sox and win the World Series for a 7th time?

THAT'S THE QUESTION!

Find out at the 2018 MLB World Series

Beginning this Tuesday Night and it's only on FOX

I'm not a fan of either team but if asked to choose one, I prefer that the Dodgers win since they have a 30 year championship drought, while Boston has won three times since 2004.

While I'm a Indians fan at heart. I'm rooting for the Dodgers as they're my number two team. I'd love to see them end the 30 year drought.

I'm NOT rooting for any of them...but since I have no option...Dodgers!

When will the Tribe win it all...Two Thousand And Never?

Give it time and maybe Cleveland can become a Championship team. With this upcoming free agency and the younger guys working in the minors. The Indians may just have a shot. Bobby Bradley is the future 1st Baseman after Yonder is gone. Unless they stupidly trade him like they did Mejia. I'd be really mad if they trade Triston McKenzie who had a killer year in Akron.

It's Cleveland...I don't expect much except mediocre-at-best.

I can't even follow our basketball team, The Cleveland Can'ts!

I'm not watching these world series games but I saw the news today that Max Muncy hit the game winning homer for the Dodgers in game 3.

Muncy used to play for the A's and never did much as a hitter while he was there, but now that he's with the Dodgers in La La land of course he becomes a star. :rolleyes:

I'm rooting for the Red Sox because ex- Tigers Ian Kinsler and the awesome J.D. Martinez are on the team. I was so angry that The Tigers let them go! We sucked this season. During the play-offs I was rooting for The Brewers mainly because I have avid Brewers fans relatives in Wisconsin. They almost pulled it off. Gave the Dodgers a run for their money! Go Sox!:wave:

LOL I really don't care who wins! The Sox for Janice or The Dodgers for Bonnie. I hate playing favorites.:lol: I really wish The Tigers were playing but they are in the process of rebuilding the team so I'm sure it will be a long time yet.:( Good luck Bonnie and Janice!:wave:

It's OK Marlene, I'm not really much of a baseball fan, I get much more passionate about the Superbowl and NBA finals. But if it's the Dodgers or my birth town team ,The Phillies than I get into it more. But if the Red Sox win, I'm not gonna freak out !! It will be nice for Janice and Mikaeka ( from New Hampshire) !! :)

But still, I say Go Dodgers!! :D:wave:

World Series Game 3 was the longest World Series game ever, running 7 hours and 21 minutes and ending at 3:30 a.m. ET (http://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/world-series-2018-dodgers-red-sox-game-3-three-takeaways-longest-in-history/177ul43twg03v1p6wuhcfdidtz)

The Los Angeles Dodgers' 3-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox lasted about two full games, or 18 innings. Game 3 was the longest Major League Baseball postseason game, topping the 2014 NLDS between the Nationals and the Dodgers that lasted 6 hours and 23 minutes. ALSO: Mary Hart became a Twitter sensation by mocking Red Sox pitcher Craig Kimbrel's pitching routine (https://thebiglead.com/2018/10/27/mary-hart-is-mocking-craig-kimbrel-pitching/).

Joe Buck is in the midst of an exhausting six straight days: Five World Series games, one NFL game, three cities (https://twitter.com/ErinAndrews/status/1056072359872872448)

The Fox Sports announcer is in the middle of a crazy week. On Tuesday and Wednesday, he called Games 1 and 2 of the World Series in Boston. On Thursday, he called the Thursday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans in Houston. On Friday night, he called the marathon 7-hour, 21-minute World Series Game 3 in Los Angeles, which left him running on fumes (https://twitter.com/BSO/status/1056064818359070721). And because the Dodgers won, he'll be calling Games 4 and 5 on Saturday and Sunday in L.A. "Joe Buck is THE BEST!!" tweeted Erin Andrews, Buck's NFL on Fox co-worker. She added that Buck's flight from Houston to Los Angeles was delayed, resulting in him not arriving L.A. until 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. When one Twitter follower tweeted to Andrews: "Cmon. He just sits there and talks." She responded: "You try it pal."

World Series delivers its lowest ratings since 2014 (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/world-series-tv-ratings-sunday-oct-28-2018-1155847)

The five-game series averaged a disappointing 14.33 million viewers despite featuring big-city teams from Los Angeles and Boston.

This is why...in my honest opinion...no one really wants to see big-city teams in the finals. Sure, they get revenue because it's where the money's at and they suspect a lot because it's New York or Los Angeles or Chicago...but what if it was The Cleveland Indians vs Los Angeles Dodgers?

I doubt Cleveland will be in another World Series, but there'll probably have good viewership not because it's Cleveland...but it's a city that sponsors the little guy, the mid-size city that has 1/4 Million to 1/2 Million people in its city limits who can see hope after losing so many.

But now...I have high doubts with my teams...or lack thereof...ohno:ohno:ohno:ohno:ohno:

Some people just don't want to see the same teams over and over again.

Well here's something else for ya:

The World Series got higher ratings than Sunday Night Football between the Saints and the Vikings

I guess you can say that everyone is either tired of Drew Brees or probably tired of Cris Collinsworth

Well the 5th Game between the Cubs & Indians drew 13.1 in the Ratings while the Dodgers/Astros Game 5 drew a 10.5 and the Red Sox/Dodgers Game 5 drew a 10.0 in the ratings

Well guys, it looks like the Cubs/Indians World Series still remains THE Most Watched World Series in Years

And...that'll probably be the last time both teams will be in the World Series for awhile...I'm still doubtful with the Cleveland Indians...

Well the Cubs have their work cut out, but NEVER count'em out

I would rather route for the Cubs than route for the Astros, Red Sox or Dodgers for that matter, but that's just me
