The conspiracy theorists can't even agree on what the conspiracy really is.

Folks you can't make this stuff up.  You get to actually read it.

If the fix is truly in tonight, Astros finish it off at Dodgers.   That's why I wont be betting on this game because half of me was so sure this series was going 7 games with Dodgers winning it all.  But, there are too many signs that say Astros will be WS champions tonight.  GL all

So with the hurricane and the city of Houston paired with the almighty Verlander, you think money will be all over the Dodgers? Listen to the media. I mean from the media, the Astros don't even need to get on the plane. I don't listen a lot to the media but if you do, they often at times tell the public what to do. The Astros don't want a game 7 so that in itself will be the reason why they win tomorrow? Huh? I'm just trying to figure this all out. You think Houston, all by themselves, took that game last nite? oh boy. The Dodgers in no way assisted? Do me a favor: watch the base hit off of Bregemans bat. Watch where the runner is when the ball is picked up in shallow left field. The runner is just touching the bag when the outfielder gathers the ball. Watch the fielder collect the ball, take his time, regather and make one of the weakest throws you will see from a fielder. I think that was what was most surprising last nite: no way that runner should have scored. Just watch the replay. It's eerie to see the effort so half a$$ed in such a big spot.  You can call me crazy all you want but let's wait until game 6 is done to do that because from what I saw last nite, my stance are that much more reaffirmed that the Dodgers will get there's no in game 6. I firmly believe last nite was Houstons game before it even started. I bet on the Dodgers and sure, sometimes I'm on the right side of the f@x and sometimes I'm on the wrong side. I'm not the type though to complain that I lost because of it; I made the wrong bet. Win or loss for me....I think the Dodgers had waaaaaay more to do with the outcome of that game than the Astros and I think tomorrow, the Dodgers force a game 7 because of their role in how game 5 ended. Will I ever have tangible proof? Nope. But will anybody else have proof that the game was pure and played straight up for the 5 hours of video game soap opera antics we witnessed last nite? Nope. I guess it comes down to picking the winner now. I'm glad backdoor you are now sucked in; I'm not and I fully expect we see a game 7. All my opinions bud. 

So was Ethier in on the fix then?  Who was it?  Him, Bregman and Jansen?  All the players on both teams?  So the passion was all just an act? The Astros and Dodgers salaries total $410 million.  Who is paying them off and for how much money?  With modern day scrutiny, social media, banks etc how is the money trail never caught?  Some of these players are going to make 100-300 million in their career and your telling me they are going to risk that?

Basically last night's game was proof that the World Series is just rigged for ratings and publicity.  If they'll go through that much effort to control outcomes of a championship series, then there's no point in trying to cap the games

Do you also believe the earth is flat and we never went to the moon?
Think of the required logistics behind rigging a game.  Even is everyone was in on it, how feasible is it to take a bat and put a 90 mph ball to some part of the field.  The ball has been likely altered slightly but the idea that these teams have been given a script to follow and are successfully carrying it out is complete nonsense.

Do you have definitive proof of anything you just said?  Of course you don't.  Until you do, I'll be a skeptic and your opinion is no more credible than mine.  I'm sure you believe most of what the government and media tells you, am I right?

Newbie: let's try this one more time as I have said it numerous times over and over in the past. Everybody has their beliefs on whether games are f@xed or not but here is the moral of the story: Do you have tangible proof that states no games have ever been f@xed? Let me answer that for you. No. Do I have tangible evidence that shows some games have been f@xed? I will say no even though in the past we've seen refs be in on them. So you wanna come in here with no proof to back up your stance and call me wrong? I respect whatever someone's stance are on the f@x but until you get your proof that no games are f@xed, this conversation won't go anywhere as it hasn't year after year. You claim that these "players" would never jeopardize their money; I ask you to understand who controls those players and who pays those players but most importantly.....which parties you know are 100% involved in getting that money to the individuals who take it and pay it. Please don't be naive and think sports are squeaky clean. If the stock market and the government are corrupt, why not entertainment that so many call sports? Take care bud

The operative sentence. You have the annoying habit of saying everything over and over again, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.

That might be asking a but much LOL, however they have already set a record for the fastest franchise ever to 9 wins in their first season and already have more points than the Washington Capitals had their entire first season in the NHL so the people there are certainly being given tons to cheer for, this is all just hypothetical ofcourse

It's very apparent to many this guy walks on water; I don't see it but with his track record lately and how he starts his threads and treats others when they question his almighty "capping", i think one should have a little bit of production in here to shout from the mountain top and demean others- this guy doesn't. @i can learn from the guy".....? I'm sorry but the last time I checked, all that should matter are your picks and what you bring to the table. Read the threads the last two weeks.....they say it all after he stopped making picks. I think it's great you stick up for him but in my exchanges, I know exactly what I'm getting.

Just saw this post. Who the hell calls a 70 year old man a "punk"? Only a POS like you. I don't know Key personally, but I can tell you he's forgotten more about MLB than you'll ever know, Skippy. This guy has coach and managed baseball and had the opportunity to watch players like Mays, Aaron, Musial, Mantle, Koufax, Gibson.....and on and on. You, on the other hand, think Trout and Harper are Hall of Famers Back off, Junior, you're an arrogant idiot. What you know about baseball I could put in a thimble and still have room for my finger.

I would lean Under. Cool, humid weather could draw in the Marine Layer and take a lot of flight out of the ball. I also expect a stout game from Verlander and the Dodgers will throw everything but the kitchen sink out there. Dan Iassogna has a very fair zone that both Verlander and Hill can work with. There won't be enough wind to consider that much help either. BOL

Why do you people keep using the word conspiracy theory? Theories are different from facts, and you discredit yourself with the word conspiracy.  Conspiracy theories are excuses to give yourself and others why something happens but negatively makes it less releevant and more science fiction. Let's talk about some facts shall we? Why are you afraid of the facts? The answers are right in front of you. Just as

This is the 113th world series. They have scripted these two teams in win totals to the final game: Look....

Houston has 111 wins total on the season
Dodgers have 113 win total on the season. 

Events: Houston had the flood, LA has had the fires.

Score totals of 13 in game 2: 7-6
Game 5 was 13-12. 

If Houston wins game 6 they will have 112 wins and the series will be over that means Houston 112 to Dodgers 113 total wins for the season.....THE SCORE ON GAME 5 was JUST 13-12!!!!!!!!!!???



Now Look at the date: October 31. which is 13 in reverse..Halloween..spooky?? uh yeah. and don't forget Joc Pederson's home run in game 4 #31 Joc Pederson.....

In Gematria, Houston = 112. Oh but Im just a mere conspiracy theorist, and that is just coincidence....since if Houston wins the series 4 game to 2, they get their 112th win, like 42 the Jackie Robinson Movie who played for the dodgers starting in 1947...47 Jansen's number. ................and which starred Harrison Ford who was just in Blade Runner 2049 

2049 is a span of 31 years from 2017.  ryan gosling was also in Blade Runner and Lala land. LA LA LAND???
