yes, having a team that's never won a WS after being in the league since 1962 and keeping the Yanks out is inconceivable for the network.

They will, it will be like a "Cinderella story" for the broadcasters. "They are trying to win for everyone in Houston who was affected by Hurricane Harvey".

yes, it is. especially to sports fans with functional brains who have passing familiarity with espn. 

they'll go with the hurricane story over that.

Houston is still the 4th biggest city by population. Of course it's not New York, but fox can't be too bummed about it. 

 

Go astros

[arch stanton]

The 2 largest population centers in the western half of the country in the two most populous states in the country. If the east doesn’t like it they can watch Adelphi take on Lehigh in the college football game of the week 

[Troll Daddy]

At least one Angel will be represented in the WS

It will come from the West divsion which means no one in New York or Boston will tune in.

Nothing makes me happier than the East not being able to tune in to watch their team in late October.

3 Time AL Batting Champion is quite an accomplishment.

So glad the Astros won. Can't believe the stanks didn't even score a run. BEAT LA!!!

ESPN knows what to do, they fill that time with NFL or SEC football talk.

If it comes down to the bullpens, and often times it does in the post season, then sadly it will be the Dodgers.  I like the Astros chances of getting game two with Verlander on the mound, but man is this going to be a tough series overall.  

[Troll Daddy]

This little guy is a amazing story and killing it in the postseason.

His power numbers are dominating ... leads in Hr’s (5), OPS (.1275) and SLG (.775)

When a player can perform at a high level during the regular season and not miss a beat in the postseason he’s the real deal.

Hard to root against the Astros but I guess I have to go with the hometown Dodgers.

[Troll Daddy]

My mother and mother n law are both die hard Dodgers fans ... got to go with Dodgers! but I will he very happy for the Stros if they win.
