Who are the good guys in the post season this year. I don't follow the NL much but I imagine St. Louis is good, maybe Washington? Anyone want to do a run down on the teams?

I can do the Detroit Tigers. Not good. But better then before. Ian Kinsler, Nick Castellonos, and two very white american hispanics, Alex Avila and JD Martinez. Andrew Romine has played well as of late and will probably be the SS in the playoffs. Don Kelly might be the centerfielder if Rajah Davis' injury is serious.

Three very good white pitching starters: Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, Rick Porcello, and mixed meat David Price. Anibal Sanchez a white looking hispanic is back from injury but his status for the post season is unclear. A few hispanics and blacks in the bullpen with Joba Chamberlain the 8th inning guy and Joe Nathan the closer.

Non White Teams:

Tigers
Dodgers
Orioles
Pirates (eliminated)

Pro-white teams

Nationals
A's(eliminated)
Giants

I'd put the Angels closer to White than non-white, and the Cardinals closer to non white but both teams are in the middle.I'm not sure where KC falls.

I'd say the worst teams have to be the Tigers and Dodgers. Let's hope they get eliminated.

Kansas City is heavily black. Last night they started 5 blacks in the batting order. Aoki if you consider him white, then Hosmer, Butler and Moustakis. The pitching staff is mostly white, I believe with Holland getting the save in their win last night.

Number 9 hitter Moustakis hit the game winning HR. However, I would prefer, obviously, that LA win the series with Trout and company.

Trout 0-4 last night against KC! Not a good start.

St. Louis starting lineup for tonight's game:

Carpenter
Grichuk
Holliday
Peralta
Molina
Adams
Kozma
Jay
Wainwright

They will have 6 of 9 starters, so I would consider them white friendly.

Looking at the two teams (KC now up 2-0), the Angels are whiter, but it's not a route. The Royals blacks are SS Escobar and CF Cain. At 2nd, Infante and C Perez are mestizos. Then they have the Jap league refugee Aoki in right. LF Gordon, 3rd Moustakas, 1st Hosner are the starting crackas. The entire pitching staff, with the lone exception of tonight's rookie starter Yorano Ventura (who I was surprised that he didn't get lit up) is all white. All of the DH's are also white.

Altogether, the teams a probably roughly equal, with the Angels having more whites in the everyday lineup. It's nice to be able to argue small things like this in comparison to the bleak landscape in NCAA and NFL football.

Trout is having a miserable series so far. For a CF poster, it's always tough to see Trout at the plate with the odious Albert Pujols on deck. Doesn't matter to me that he played ball at my local MO high school, he's still a non-white total butthead.

REALLY happy the see the Red Birds rally to win the game tonight over my old home-team Dodgers. Back in the old days, the Dodgers were my team, with Steve Garvey, Mike Scioscia, Ron Cey, Davey Lopes, etc. This was when I was a total DWF. The modern Dodgers are roughly the equivalent of the Pittsburgh Crawfords (Steelers) or the Seattle Seahawks. The formerly "hated" Cards are now preferable.

No argument here FBDad. I simply forgot about LF Gordon. You're correct KC is almost as white as LA.

My apologies.

No need to apologize! I don't really root for anybody in particular, I'm just looking for the whitest teams to win, and there are some really dark teams out there. I used to be a "true blue" Dodger fan, but there is NO WAY I could ever root for that team the way it is currently comprised.

Tigers are down 2 games to the Orioles!

After watching some highlights, the O's might be whiter than I thought. Anyone know how white they are?

Positional white starters are:

Markakis RF
Pearce/Davis 1B
Hardy SS
Flaherty 3B
Hundley C

Chen, their best pitcher is Taiwanese, however, they also have:

Norris P
Tillman
Brach

So, I would say whiter than Detroit.

San Francisco's Brandon Belt Homers in the 18th to give the Giants a 2-0 lead over the Nats. The Giants can close out Washington as Bumgarner takes the mound for the Giants Monday night.

KC can close out the Angels tonight and The O's and Tigers are scoreless in the bottom of the 4th.

I loved baseball 1975 through 1979. You could name an entire team by position: Dodgers, Reds, Phillies and Pirates in the NL. Royals, Yankees and Red Sox in the AL. The Dodgers had Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell, and Ron Cey in the infield. Dusty Baker, Rick Monday, and Reggie Smith in the outfield, Steve Yeager at catcher. Tommy John, Don Surton, Charlie Hough and Mike Marshall on the mound.

The Angels, with the best record in the regular season, go out with a whimper. At least Trout got a home run.

Unfortunately probably going to be saying the same thing about Harpers and the Nationals tomorrow too.

Another monster homerun for Bryce Harper, nearly into the water.


Yeah, I just got home in time to see it. was listening to it on radio when it was 0-0, then went to the driving range. What happened to Bumgarner?

I'm glad Harper got a HR, but I'm pulling for San Francisco. I hate it for Bumgarner, Posey, Pence, etc.!

Blah, Angels and A's eliminated, Nationals next? Not big on the Orioles, the Royals are okay but are riding momentum. Giants and Cards best bet in the NL.

So what is the BEST white friendly World Series? Nationals/Cardinals vs Orioles/Royals (assuming that both the Nats and Cards win their series)? My guess is either the Nats or Cards are very white, but what about the American League?

Cardinals have a chance to eliminate the multi-culti Dodgers tonight. While surfing around, I came across this article talking about how Dodgers manager Don Mattingly is subbing out dynamic outfielder Yasiel Puig (negro) for Andre Ethier (cracker assumed to be non-dynamic).

Considering the dynamic player's struggles recently, and the non-dynamic player's recent success, it seems like a no brainer to me.

Although I hope that Ethier and his sparse un-dynamic white teammates do well, I'm looking for a Cardinals win tonite to send them all packing.

Puig is so dynamic that he can not even put a ball in play.

Matt Adams, Cardinals, with the 3 run homer off Kershaw to take the lead 3-2!

First Bumgarner, Giants, got beat yesterday and now Kershaw will not get the win. I hate it for them, but I hope the Cardinals can hold on and the Giants win tonight!
