I was very disappointed that the Cleveland Indians lost 3 games to the New York Yankees, and thus the series, after winning the first 2 games. The Indians had the best W-L record in the American League during the regular season, thanks in part to 22 consecutive wins, an all-time record, during late August to mid-September. Hopes were high for Indians fans.

Now it's Cubs vs. Dodgers and Astros vs. Yankees to see who plays in the World Series. Go, Astros!
I finished in first place in my CBS Sports Fantasy Baseball League this year. I was in the middle of the pack until almost mid-season, suddenly jumped to first, and fell back to 7th in early September. I was fortunate to have Paul Goldschmidt, Carlos Correa, Willson Contreras, Corey Kluber, and Kenley Jensen all season (minus short stints on the disabled list). I grabbed Ryan Zimmerman as a Free Agent early in the season. Zimmerman had a career best year after disappointing ones in 2014-16. I also grabbed Trevor Bauer as a Free Agent for about the last 6 weeks of the season. During those 6 weeks he W5-L1 with an ERA of 3.19.
The Houston Astros won the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees, 4 games to 3. The home team won each game. Jose Altuve showed how good he is. The Astros will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. The Astros were in the World Series once before but didn't win. Their first season was 1962.
ReplyDeleteOn Nov. 1 the Houston Astros won their first World Series. Game 5, which the Astros won 13-12 in the bottom of the 10th on Oct. 29, joined the list of the best WS games in history.
