The 27th out
All right, all right, ya La-La Land Los Doyers fans! Take it easy! Your boys are going to the World Series. ’grats!
Other terminal curses have been reversed since the last Dodger World Series appearance: Boston Red Sox, Chicagoland Cubs. Amazingly, the Calif. Angels, Ariz. Diamondbacks, Chicagoland White Sox and Fla. Marlins (2X!) have won it since then, too. Sorry, Chief Wahoo, still waiting for your Tribe in Cleveland to turn it around. The only jinxes that have to be overcome locally are the unfortunate ownership-turns by FOX and then F. McCourt. Man, those were dark days. Guggenheim and its Army of Quants have been managing the outlay quite well for such a major-market team, and the product on the field is refreshingly devoid of The Entitled — Justin Turner is a Jim Henson character, Cody Bellinger is a collegiate-team lookalike and, most important of all, Yasiel…Puig Is Your Friend! PUIG. IS. YOUR. FRIEND.
Are they your 2017 World Series Champeens, though? We shall see. Here’s to continued good béisbol!
Yesterday’s forecasts again were not too good, but if this is the cosmic sacrifice we have to make to close out the NLCS and get into the World Series, well, then, more The Universe’s Credit Than Ours.
Also, why always nighttime activity? Today, we stay within the FRIENDLY CONFINES of now to 6 p.m. EDT. You’re welcome! Hahahahahahaha.
Hawthorne 5 looks good for the upset-minded. The race before that, though, seems amenable to victory by the morning-line choice. Ditto Race 3 there. Maybe Santa Anita 3, too, along with Woodbine 9.
Back to the longshots, and Keeneland 8 appears fantastical.
Go, Astros! Keep the World Series tickets affordable! Go, Houston!
