Anyone else excited for some World Series Baseball?

What about Pujols?

I’m leaning towards him staying with the Cards.

to me, he's insane if he goes to the Cubs...

because of the intense rivalry and hatred St. Louis and Chicago have for each other. He’d suddenly be hated by Cards fans but never fully embraced by Cubs fans because of all the years he played for the bad guys. It would effect his legacy…

I think he has speed to steal 20 bags

but I’m not sure how good of a baserunner he is. Andrus steals 30 bags a season, but he’s a ridiculously good baserunner. Ellsbury steals a lot more than Andrus, but he doesn’t seem to be as good a baserunner

Trading negotiation rights

Do yall know if it is possible to trade for negotiation rights with NPB teams? For example, if the Cubs bid $75 million and the Angels bid $73 million, can the Cubs trade them the right for $75 million (or how ever much) + players?

For a pitcher, he was a pretty good hitter.

In game 4 of the 1918 World Series he pitched a complete game 3-2 victory and ended up with a -0.22 wpa. Explain that without looking at the boxscore :)

Why is the media fear mongering about falling satellites nowadays?

1. Hasn’t satellites and space stations that have been falling back into earth since Sputnik was launched?
2. Don’t asteroids of similar or larger size hit the Earth weekly, if not daily?

Pujols F-U game

You know how Bautista almost always hits a home run or other big hit after a pitcher has thrown inside on him to knock him down, or struck him out earlier and gloated about it?

Game 3 seemed to be Pujols’ reaction towards the media.

“You want to talk to me after the game? I’ll give you something to talk about.”
