Which of the Italian-Americans in the cast is playing an Irishman?

I know the 1996 World Series also had all road-team wins through game 5, but has any postseason series gone to game 6 without a home win?

A Mets fan saying "Mets Suck!!!" on the internet? That's spot on!

Sal Romano, born in Syosset, is already part of the rotation of my New York team. I know you Connecticut people have NY envy, but stop poaching my players https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/romansa01.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/romansa01.shtml Damn you, Baseball Cube! http://thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=165230http://thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=165230

I was exhausted last night and the last time I checked the score before falling asleep, it was 2-2 in the 6th. Waking up in the morning to see that it was not even remotely a close game was a stunner.

My wilderness years were 1991-1997 coinciding with moving to Virginia and going to college at the same time. I went through a phase were I haughtily pretended to myself that I did not like sports. After graduation in 95, I started going to Norfolk Tides games. I started following the Mets heavily again during the 97 season, partially because of players I liked from the Tides getting promoted, and partly because I broke up in a long time relationship and moved into a sublet where I had a lot of free time and a cable tv package.

Edgy MD wrote: If it's practice-able, can, going forward, can we name the players' 2019 affiliation? I went back and linked all the players to their Baseball Reference pages so that I don't have to update affiliations when the inevitable trades & promotions occur. I got birthplaces from Baseball Cube, but B-R lists different towns for some, but I'm not changing them.

Edgy MD wrote: Beyond that, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be happy all day today, because I just learned there is a town called "Minooka." It's even better that there's someone named Foltyniewicz from Minooka.

Well that was definitely the SECOND best Game 6 of an LCS between Houston and New York ever.

When I don't have a dog in the fight, I tend to root for the underdog. And since the Nationals have never won anything, they're clearly the team that would end a long drought. Plus, since I went to college in Virginia, I have a lot of friends in the DC area who are Nats fans, so it would be nice for them. That being said, I like the Astros, they're definitely the best team of this generation, and I wouldn't feel sour if they won. So mostly I'm looking forward to a good series that I can enjoy because loathsome teams like the Dodgers, Cardinals, and Yankees won't be participating.

Brad Peacock started 15 games this season and is on the roster.

Do the players have to be alive and active at some level?

It also appears that the Mets fan is a child.

Jeter & Mattingly have a Yankees record to defend so Alonso will probably walk 5 times tonight.

I'd really like to see him match Ralph (and David and Jose).

I voted.
