I thank the gentlewoman. In the spirit of good sportsmanship, I accept the gentlewoman's wager and the barbecue that I will get to enjoy next week. The Houston Astros are an amazing team, with 101 wins, but the Dodgers are better, with 104. I know that the Astros stumbled across that finish line to make it to the World Series. I know it is going to be a hell of a game between the two teams. If we lose, I will bring some French dip sandwiches from the Louisiana institution, Philippe's, in downtown Los Angeles. Let the best team win. Play ball.
