    Possible close-out game in the World Series tonight, as the Astros lead the series 3-2 over the Rangers.

    The World Series is NOT on broadcast tv. It's on Fox Sports, a cable channel that takes a backseat to ESPN.

    Never thought I'd see the day where the World Series was shoved to the back burner.

      That’s unAmerican.

        That is sad.

        Education is extremely important.

          Uhm, it’s not the World Series. It’s the ALCS. Winner Goya to the World Series.

            You're right, I'm wrong.

              I’d say the point is still nearly the same. The tv and streaming game has become incredibly fragmented.

                Goya? What the hell is wrong with my autocorrect?

                  Game 5 was actually on Fox, I believe I think this got moved to Fox Sports since it was going up against Sunday Night Football…

                    What kind of f'ed up world is is when regular season football conflicts with the World Series?

                    It's almost as bad as hockey in June.

                    Almost.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      I goofed. It's the American League Championship, not the WS. Too many years if Houston being in the National League, I guess.

                      Still, they won't schedule the World Series up against the NFL on Sunday night.

                        What pisses me off is the inability to watch the World Cup without fucking cable. Seriously? In 2023? I’d happily pay for a month of somebody’s streaming service to watch it, but they don’t offer it.

                        So a vpn gets the money instead and I watch a free overseas broadcast.

                            You know, for half my childhood my address was Rural Route 4, Box 286.

                            Years later the road got a name. It's now "Biddle" road in Galion, OH.

                              Wait, you grew up adjacent to notorious Ohio State Reformatory? That explains A LOT.
