Since the Phillies beat ATL, I am rooting for the Diamondbacks tonight!

There is no way the Phillies should be in a game 7 situation. IMHO they lost the games, the Dā€™backs did not win them. Their bats went cold last night. Hoping the crowd amps them up enough to come alive tonight!

What a surprising outcome, Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers in the World Series. Didnā€™t expect that.

Will home field be an advantage for either?? They each play well on the roadšŸ¤” that may give edge to Diamondbacksā€¦

It was a pleasant surprise, as we just arrived in AZ. Go Diamondbacks!

Wow! That was not the outcome I expected. Iā€™m not interested in watching a Diamondbacks/Rangers WS soā€¦go Avs! :laughing:

In good news, I am excited enough for both of us.

Sad to see my Phillies lose, but there were some fun moments on the journey.

Iā€™m neutral on the WS, which should make it fun and stress-free to watch.

What a comeback! Garcia really is fun to watch.

This team has so many great players and stories. I love Seager and Carter and Semien and Nate Lowe and LeClerc ā€¦ obviously, just about everyone.

I didnā€™t know anything about Bochy before this season, but I love his coaching decisions. I can see his impact.

Last night, one son was at a housewarming/tarot party for friends where he lives, and the other son is in the middle of BFE in the Midwest with almost no connectivity and at a home with no TV for a wedding. They let him use all the connectivity to watch the game, and after we won, we all FaceTimed ā€“ one son from a bathroom at the party, and the other from the basement, where he was watching. And we are screaming and screaming at our house so my DIL and her family jump on the call, because they could hear us. So. Much. Fun.

How wonderful! That is the magic of baseball!

Nothing quite like a late rally or walk off home run.

And one can get to know the players over a long season.

Yeah, I had never heard of the Dbacks pitcher until last night, but he was great!

57

Wow, Texas! Shame about injuries to Scherzer and Garcia.
