On a happier note, the cheating Astros are about to go down ... at home ... HARD

so there's that.

1. Great, So The Champs Are A Team With A Racist Name & Racist Chant nt

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Neither are what I'd call 'racist' myself.

Cultural appropriation is often lame (the chant is lame indeed) ... but not necessarily racist.

I don't consider these concepts synonymous.

For example I don't think Emimen is racist because he's a white hip-hop artist. I don't think Jimmy Page and Keith Richards are racist because they heavily borrowed from guys like Wolf, Dixon, and Muddy.

MHO, fwiw.

3. This game is almost over - 8th inning the Braves lead 7-0

I'm not really rooting for either team, but I gotta say that the Astros have been a disappointment in this World Series. They played their hearts out yesterday, and that was the only good game I saw. Atlanta's pitching has been hella good.

4. I'd bet $10,000 to win $100 on the Braves right now going into the 9th lol

It's OVAH!

5. is there any way that both teams can lose?

of all the teams going to the playoffs, these two are my least favorites

[Hugh_Lebowski]

6. Yeah not a fan of either but hate the Astros more, in no small part cause I'm an A's fan

and they're in our division ... and knocked us out of the playoffs last time we got in a couple years back.

Then there's the cheating part.

I do like Dusty okay though.

7. You mean the Asterisks? That's what we call them here

In our Braves household...my husband even has a tshirt for them, the "Houston. Asterisks."
We were very happy with the game last night and we're currently rewatching it, lol.

8. The Astros "ring" from the WS win should have at its

center a diamond laden garbage can.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. Lol yeah ... but the diamonds should really be cubic zirconium (nt)
