00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.890
- Today people are asking me questions

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:03.180
about the World Series.

3
00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:04.200
Let's see what they have to say.

4
00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:07.110
- So in regards to the World
Series, I'm a little confused

5
00:00:07.110 --> 00:00:09.930
as to why we're still letting
the Astros even compete

6
00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:12.330
after all the cheating that happened.

7
00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:15.030
So would love to know why
that's even a thing still.

8
00:00:15.030 --> 00:00:18.150
- They did the crime, they did
the time, and unfortunately

9
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:19.800
all is right in the baseball world.

10
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.944
And most of the people that were involved

11
00:00:21.944 --> 00:00:23.580
in all of those things are no longer

12
00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:24.960
in the Houston organization.

13
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.790
Like Carlos Correa, he's gone.

14
00:00:26.790 --> 00:00:29.520
They served the appropriate
punishment, unfortunately.

15
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.110
Now that makes them incredibly hated.

16
00:00:31.110 --> 00:00:33.120
But you can't punish Dusty Baker

17
00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:36.060
and other people like that
who have done nothing wrong.

18
00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:39.030
- Why doesn't the World
Series have more fun things

19
00:00:39.030 --> 00:00:40.290
in between innings?

20
00:00:40.290 --> 00:00:43.020
- Well, the only baseball
tradition in that way is

21
00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:44.287
the seventh inning stretch, where you get,

22
00:00:44.287 --> 00:00:45.510
"Take Me Out to the Ballgame"

23
00:00:45.510 --> 00:00:47.280
sometimes "God Bless America"

24
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.780
but no Alanis Morissette.

25
00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:50.790
To have those things, you know,

26
00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:52.650
would make baseball games go even longer.

27
00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:54.600
And that's the pace of
baseball games is something

28
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.670
that usually baseball's try to get down.

29
00:00:56.670 --> 00:00:59.340
So it's probably not
worth it to see, you know,

30
00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:00.810
the Canadian rock royalty coming

31
00:01:00.810 --> 00:01:03.300
to the United States and
performing such as that.

32
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.420
- Who's gonna win the World Series? Hmm?

33
00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:09.720
- Unfortunately, it's
probably the Houston Astros.

34
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:11.760
They have more conditioning
this time of year.

35
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.584
They have the deeper roster and
they have guys that know how

36
00:01:14.584 --> 00:01:16.260
to win in October.

37
00:01:16.260 --> 00:01:18.630
You can't rely on Bryce
Harper for things like that.

38
00:01:18.630 --> 00:01:21.060
Unfortunately, I'm
going the Astros in six.

39
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:22.680
I don't think it's good
for Major League Baseball

40
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.660
that people who have
cheated in the past win,

41
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:27.390
even though most of their
crimes have been, you know,

42
00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:30.030
accounted for, but just
the Astros have the

43
00:01:30.030 --> 00:01:32.070
conditioning this time of
year, you gotta go with them.

44
00:01:32.070 --> 00:01:34.050
- Why can't the Braves
win the World Series

45
00:01:34.050 --> 00:01:35.100
every single year?

46
00:01:35.100 --> 00:01:37.170
- Well, they haven't earned
it every single year.

47
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:38.910
They got it last year outta nowhere.

48
00:01:38.910 --> 00:01:41.070
Then they got rid of
Freddy Freeman and now them

49
00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:43.860
and the Dodgers are both not
in the World Series anymore.

50
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:45.390
Congratulations to the
Philadelphia Phillies

51
00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:46.890
for being the World Series runner ups.

52
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:49.728
Thanks for your questions,
guys, and stick with Deadspin.

53
00:01:49.728 --> 00:01:51.769
(upbeat music)
