Life finds a way… to get in the way. We almost forgot to post our World Series predictions this year. Or maybe we were protesting until Brandon Taubman was fired. Either way, we look smart, because after that Astros gaffe – the awful handling of it on top of the absurd outburst of the assistant GM – we were convinced that the Astros were cursed AF after he cursed AF and we changed our pick from Astros in 7 to Nats in 7. With a 2-0 deficit after two, Houston’s problem isn’t looking like it will last even that long now, even if 77 out of the 101 experts we found picked against the Nationals.
