I'm sick of watching the news so I watched a lot of the playoffs when I could. Being in NJ, and a born New Yorker (State, with all my family ties to the City), I have to root for most local teams (except the Knicks). So I was really rooting for the Yanks to pull it out but...they couldn't solve the Houston pitching in the last 2 games.
Now it's the Dodgers vs the Astros. California vs Texas, but I'm the son of a broken-hearted Brooklyn Dodgers fan, and I just LIKED the way the Astros played.
When Walter O'Malley conned the Giants to move to SF while he was negotiating in bad faith with NYC, all the time planning to move, he earned the eternal enmity of Brooklyn, leading to the following discussion between fans:
Question: "If you were in a room with Hitler, Stalin, and Walter O'Malley, and you had a gun with only 2 bullets, who would you shoot?"
Answer: "Walter O'Malley, twice!"
I just CAN'T root for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Anybody Watching the World Series?
