    For fun, ESPN made World Series predictions for the next 25 years. As they go further into the future, they do get more and more ridiculous but:


    2028: Houston Astros
    Astros def. Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-2

    After nearly two full decades of last-place finishes, the Astros use a lineup and rotation comprised entirely of No. 1 overall draft picks to beat their onetime division rivals and capture the first World Series title in franchise history. Following the series, Dodgers owner Lindsay Lohan and veteran ace Clayton Kershaw acknowledge a longtime romance and elope to Cabo San Lucas.

    The rest of the predictions are here:

    World Series winners from 2012 to 2023

    World Series winners from 2024 to 2036

    I'd take that! :grin:



    Also based on the stand up to cancer commercial that showed during the world series I'm highly doubtful Tony Gwnyn will live to the year 2035...

    How can we have two decades worth of last place finishes in 2028 if they also have us playing in the World Series in 2020?

    FAIL.

    If you were to spend a few minutes of you busy life you would notice that the guy failed at quoting what they said. They actually said "After two decades of mostly last-place finishes". Note: it says MOSTLY.*

    Miami third baseman Alex Rodriguez sets a postseason record with 10 homers, and oft-exiled outfielder Logan Morrison caps the sweep with a decisive grand slam.

    A-Rod signing with the Miami Marlins after his contract expires in like 2017?

    Lol...

    Well the marlins have changed their entire philosophy..they are out trying to sign the big names, Pujols, Reyes, Buehrle, Etc. So it wouldn't surprise me, although A-Rod would be like 40
