So we all want the Fightin' Dustys, right? (I don't know the answer, I'm asking.)

Yeah I'd rather have the Nats. Kershaw and Rich Hill haven't exactly covered themselves in glory so far in the series but their regular season numbers were so absurd and I fear their ability to dominate a short series more than the Nationals starters.

I just don't want any more West Coast start times.

This is about as far as I go with having a preference.

In the words of a fucking beast, "Who gives a shit?"
ditto to this. The Cubs are going to fuck shit up in the NLCS, and I'd rather not have to call my dad at 2am his time to celebrate.

While I would like to avoid staying up as well, I dont think it matters.  There are only 2 games being played, and the NLCS will be the 'prime time' game  TV wise  (CHI vs LA/WASH by far will trump CLE/TOR)

For selfish reasons, I'd like for it to go 6. But I honestly think the Cubs are going to demolish whoever their victim is, and it might not make it to 5.

Big deal. TEC is still on hold with Jim Hendry's secretary.

I have tickets for all three NLCS games at Dodger Stadium, if they exist. Turns out there is no ticket lottery here, you just go to the website and buy playoff tickets. Just like that. Mind-blowing.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

It's Dodger Stadium. Do you even need a ticket before the third inning?

One of the all-time great corollaries to one of the all-time iconic moments in MLB history is the sea of taillights outside Dodger Stadium caught by the camera that is principally tracking Kirk Gibson's home run off Dennis Eckersley in '88.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

The 2015 NLCS offense has been back with a vengeance the last two games.
