Transgender Activists Surprise With Pro-Trans Banner At World Series

During last night's final game of the World Series, transgender activists somehow snuck a huge banner that read "Trans people deserve to live" into Dodger Stadium and unfurled the massive message during the game.

According to CBS News, the moment was planned by members of the TransLatin@ Coalition, a Los Angeles-based activist organization that advocates for the rights of transgender Latinx people.

It won't surprise you to learn that Fox Sports didn't show the sign or its removal on the air.

By the way, the Boston Red Sox clinched the Series by winning the game 5-1. This marks the 4th Series title in 14 years for the Red Sox.

A Facebook video of two activists unfurling the banner was uploaded by The TransLatina Coalition. According to The Los Angeles Blade, the two activists in the video were identified as Bamby Salcedo and Maria Roman.

"Our message tonight was to let the world know that we as Trans people deserved to be humanized, acknowledged and valued," said Salcedo, according to the Blade.

Chicago Cubs Win World Series In Dramatic 10th Inning Victory

I'm no sports writer, but my father was. I can tell you this was thrilling to watch.

Tied at the end of 9 innings in game 7, the win in the 10th was heart stopping.

FINALLY! The @Cubs are WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!

The final out & celebration. #WorldSeries #Game7 https://t.co/33Wu67LSPX

And by the way...

Did you know - that in the years that the World Series went to Game 7 in presidential election years, when the National League won (Cubs), the party in the White House retained the presidency??? #YES

And if you needed just one more reason to be thrilled, how about Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta?

And then there's this:

Ellen's Hunky "Fool-Proof" Method Of Predicting World Series Champs

The World Series is coming up, so Ellen turned to her foolproof (and shirtless) method to predict the winner. Will it be the Chicago Cubs or the Cleveland Indians?

Just for the record - I'm pulling for the Cubs. Give me an underdog and great costumes :)

NY Mets Collapse In World Series After Anti-Gay Daniel Murphy Makes Error In The 12th Inning

Doug Mills/NY Times

After becoming a postseason hero with homer after homer, NY Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy made an error on a ground ball hit by Paulo Orlando in the 12th inning of Game 5.

Following that mistake, the Kansas City Royals, leading by 3-2 at the time, went on to score four more runs, ultimately winning the World Series in five games.

The final score was Royals 7, Mets 2 in 12 innings.

Murphy had become a hero of another kind during the series - his anti-gay comments from last spring came back to light and he was hailed by the haters of Teabagistan.

But today, the baseball "god" becomes the goat.

Ellen Predicts The World Series With Shirtless Male Strippers

Shirtless male strippers collect money on ELLEN to predict the World Series

Ellen comes up with a "super-scientific" way to predict the winner of the World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the Kansas City Royals.

And I like it.

Whichever guys collects the most money in their shorts before the music ends will be the team to win the World Series.

Guess which team is predicted to win via Ellen's "super-scientific" method?

Of course, as Ellen notes, we are all winners for watching.

p.s. all money raised during the bit goes towards breast cancer research. Go Ellen!

Red Sox caught on obstruction call

I'm pulling for Boston, but you can see Will Middlebrooks gets in the way during a wild throw in the bottom of the 9th inning.

The city of Boston and the Red Sox were left frustrated, confused and angry by an unprecedented and wild finish to the game against the St Louis Cardinals on Saturday night.

In 109 years, no World Series game has ended with an obstruction call. But this one was decided by the controversial ruling against Boston third baseman Will Middlebrooks. This allowed Cardinals runner Allen Craig to score with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and lifted St. Louis over Boston 5-4 for a 2-1 edge.

Both sets of players and fans were left in shock.
