Are the Nolas Rooting for Austin’s Padres or Aaron’s Phillies in the NLCS?
(If you’re wondering why I’ve gone back and forth on the Nats and Yankees in the last 8 minutes, it is because of a little quirk.

The first two games of the NLCS were the best games of the whole series, and those games were not even close. Winning Game 2 in extra innings and Game 3 in extra innings. Now, we had good start up and the Nats have put up two wins over
