The Haters Guide to the 2022 World Series

[@Rand0mContnt]

On paper, this World Series is easy to predict. The Astros are a machine who absolutely nobody comes close too and better teams have tried and failed to stop them, but the Phillies are the baseball equivalent of “this sign can’t stop me because I can’t read” so who really knows.

[@grahamdamberger7130]

After the first two games in Houston were split, on Halloween night Game 3 in Philadelphia was rained out and forced the remaining games back a day. Philly would come back and dominate on their way to a 7-0 shutout win following the extra day off and take a 2-1 series lead. Only to be no-hit by the Astros' pitching staff in Game 4. Series lead is gone. Game 5 on Thursday night was rather interesting. Not only was it a close game and went down to the wire but the same two cities were also cheering against each other on the grid iron during Thursday Night Football. Only the sixth time such a feat has happened between the MLB and NFL, and the first time in just over a decade. The Eagles breezed through Houston to remain undefeated, but the Astros avenged their fallen comrades by holding off the Phillies and taking a 3-2 series lead. The payment for their treachery in 2017 is nearly complete. They just need one more win at home, and have two chances at it. Kyle Schwarber kicks things off with a solo home run in the top half of the 6th after 5 solid innings by both pitchers. Phillies off to a good start in forcing a Game 7. "Agony, thy name is Yordan Alvarez." A 3-run HR the next half inning. Philly never recovers. Series over. Astros reign supreme again. The demons from 2017 have been extinguished. At least for now. The payment to the Succubus is finally complete. It may have costed close to a fortune over the past 5 years, with the Deshaun Watson situation, the Rockets imploding from within, and the fans of Houston becoming more restless with each passing day, but the Astros have restored the glory that was taken away from them following their sign stealing scandal.

Game 1: Verlander continues his Bizarre instability in the World Series by blowing a 5-0 lead giving the Phillies Game 1. Game 2: Valdez Answers Back and gives the Astros Game 2. Game 3: McCullers runs out of gas and gives up back to back Homers to the Phillies causing a 7-0 crushing loss. This Game win at Citizens Bank Park causes Philadelphia to turn into Yankees and Dodgers like fans by being Cocky,inhospitable,unruly and Dickish. They not only Harass and bully Astros fans, several Restaurants stupidly decide that Discrimination isn’t as important as Team Spirit and refuse to serve the Astros. But The Baseball Succubus suddenly decides to pardon the City of Houston when Phillies fans decide that it’s a good idea to heckle and intimidate Houston Philanthropist and beloved Businessman Mattress Mack, unwittingly Philadelphia inflames the Ire of the Succubus and she finally decides to allow the Astros its first Crown in 5 years. Game 4: Javier Avenges McCullers and Rewards Dusty Baker at Citizens Bank Park with a Pleasant Surprise: a Historical World Series No Hitter carrying the Stros to a 5-0 Victory. The First WS No Hitter in 66 years. Game 5: With Verlander back up as a Starter, ESPN and Most Sports pundits predict an Easy Phillies victory and Verlander choking like he did in Game 1, but Hope Springs Eternal and Miraculously, He Pulls Through. Giving the Astros a 3-2 win, giving them a 3-2 Series lead and Snuffing out Any Momentum Phillies had. Game 6: On Saturday November 5,2022 The Astros are given the Opportunity of a Lifetime: Reward Houston and Minute Maid Park a World Series Clinch at Home directly in Downtown Houston, and they take advantage of that. With Valdez pitching a Primo game until he gives up a Solo Homer to Kyle Schwarber at the top of the 6th, but Thankfully for him, the Bullpen comes through and delivers as the Astros relievers do the job, which causes the Astros Offense to come to Life as at the bottom of the 6th, Yordan Alvarez Ignites Electric Energy at Minute Maid Park with a 3 Run Homer Blast that quickly erases the Phillies lead, with Phillies giving up another run at the bottom of the 7th. With that, the Phillies tank officially runs out of Fuel as the Houston Astros quickly breeze through 9 Outs and Clinch their 2nd Franchise Crown with Closer Ryan Presley getting it done. And the Astros become the First Club to Clinch a World Series at Home since The Red Sox 9 years prior thus Vanquishing The Stigma of the 2020 Scandal over the 2017 Crown while earning the Salt of arrogant Yankees and Dodger fans.

Song selection for the Phillies last was on point. Love me some Metallica, and I love me my Phillies. Also, the sound effect that is played every time Schwarber hits a bomb makes my day

[@cayoungART]

As a Padres fan, I'm just so happy we got as far as we did, it was very fun for us as a city. Our true win was LA. I feel like the Astros are gonna get this year. They are truly deadly and scary to watch. Even if we had beat the Phillies, we would not win against them. haha

[@sc2070]

Incredible video! I will never make the mistake of doubting the Phillies twice. Signed an Atlanta Braves fan.

[@BenTGN]

Me in the Postseason Haters Guide: "Now please excuse me as I expect us to get dropkicked by the Cardinals in the Wild Card round. 🙃" Me right now: "Please excuse me as I eat a bag of shit for having no faith entering this series." But man, this is so surreal. Praying for a Phillies victory!

[@sneersh9107]

I've had no faith in the Phillies all year, including the playoffs. I thought we would get bounced in every round so far, and we see how that's gone. Needless to say I'm still expecting them to lose this series so they can prove me wrong one last time.

[@davidblass8479]

Well, the first one is in the record books. Philly makes its greatest playoff comeback win in franchise history, and the astros can’t score a single run in 7 innings. As for the astros fans reading this, I have one thing to say to Houston. *cue video clip:* you blew it boy! You really blew it!

[@sneersh9107]

@@davidblass8479 just goes to show you can't doubt this Phillies team man. If this playoff run and the game tonight didn't convince you what they're capable of then nothing will. Incredible game, and incredible fight from the Phillies.

[@jlh4jc]

Stros fan here. I think most of our fanbase is not taking the Phillies for granted. I see a lot of similarities with them and the 2019 Nats. Nola and Wheeler give me bad flashbacks to Strasbourg and Scherzer. If we can hold serve in Houston, I like our chances. If the Phils steal a game or 2 in Houston, ugh!!! Regardless, if you're team is one of the last 2 playing baseball, it's a great year. Congrats Phillies fans as well in getting to the series and let's see how this turns out. Go Stros!

Felt good for Phillies fans too. People forget the 102 win Phillies we’re the reason the cardinals even made the playoffs. Braves got swept on the last series of the regular season which allowed St Louis to sneak in and beat us in the NLDS

The Atlanta baseball team had faced Philadelphia twice in the playoffs after winning 100+ games that season. Both times, Philadelphia ended the series in their home park. More ominous: The Phillies have played in a World Series that suffered a rain delay resulting in the game being finished the following day...twice now.

Cleveland would land backwards into a game 7 do or die situation vs The Astros but that's really what true chaos would've brought lol. In all seriousness I dare say we have 1 of the brightest futures in baseball next to Baltimore the next few years including Titos inevitable retirement and Sandy getting the position he was promised if he stayed on should be interesting. Hopefully we win a ring for Tito he grew up here and it would be sweet to break the curse while he's in charge.
