Sorry for being late... wrote this up in notepad and am now having a hard time posting it. Maybe I have to wait for someone else to post in the thread???? I dunno.
Welcome to the 2017 World Series Guess Thread, where you can make ONE POST listing ONE TEAM that you think will win the 2017 Major League Baseball World Series. If you are the first to post the right team, in an UNEDITED post in this thread, you win $50.00 worth of GoG games. And, because my favorite team (Washington Nationals) are in the running, if they win, I will DOUBLE THE WINNINGS to $100!!! I have loved baseball since the early 1960's, and went to several Washington Senators games as a kid back then. Then, the team I loved in the sport I loved moved away in 1972 and for over 30 years I had no home team to root for (I live in the Washington DC suburbs of Virginia). But in the year 2005, a magical thing happened. The Montreal Expos left the city of Montreal and moved to Washington to become the Washington Nationals!!!! My full love of the game and team returned!!!! And if I should finally, for once in my lifetime, see my team win the whole thing...... well worth doubling this pot to $100.
The rules and some points are explained in this thread: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/win_50_worth_of_gog_games/page1
But I will restate the basics. Each GoG user may make ONE POST in this thread and guess ONE TEAM. When the World Series is over and we know the winner, I will then look down this thread and the FIRST user who posted the correct team in their FIRST POST and that post is 100% UNEDITED, that person is the winner!!
And I want to reiterate, if you see my join date, I've been here forever. I'm not going away (unless of course I die). So, if the winner wants even more bang for their buck, THERE IS NO EXPIRATION DATE, (other than my death I guess) and you may wait until the right sale, or the right game, or the right whatever comes along. YOUR WINNINGS, YOUR CHOICE. AND, you can piecemeal it. Meaning, you may claim $20 today, $10 next week, and another $20 during the holiday season sales.... or whatever you want. YOUR WINNINGS YOUR CHOICE.
Below I'm going to list the teams that have at least a possibility (as of today, Sept 24, 2017) of winning the 2017 World Series (the World Series is scheduled for late October where the MLB AL Champions will play the MLB NL Champions in a series of game where the winner of four out of seven games becomes World Series Champions).
There are two Leagues in Major League Baseball... The American League and The National League. Each League has 5 teams qualify for the Post-Season. Each League will play a series of games between those 5 teams to determine each League's champion. And then, in late October, the American League Champions will meet the National League Champions in the 2017 World Series. In each league, there are basically THREE levels of post season series prior to the World Series. The first to occur are between the two "wild card" teams (the two teams in each league that didn't win their division but made the post season because they had the two best non-Division winning records) and this "series" is actually a one game playoff... where the winner advances and loser is out. There will then be 4 teams left in each league, and two each will face each other in what is called the Divisional Series. This series is the best 3 out of 5 games where the 2 winners move along and the two losers are out. The two winners of each league's Division Series will then meet in the League Championship Series, which is a series of games where the winner is the first to 4 out of 7 games. Then, as stated, each League Champion will meet in the 2017 World Series.
And you should know... there are 30 teams in Major League Baseball. But there is only one, ONE TEAM, that has NEVER, EVER, E.V.E.R. won a single, solitary, post season series (much less the whole championship thing). That team? The Washington Nationals. So... if you choose them for the possibility of doubling.... you'll see what you're up against. They have never, in their history in Washington OR Montreal, won a single Post Season Series. Only team of the 30 that can that.
