Someone needs to start hitting. Hitless through five.

Springer answers. 1-0 Houston going into the 7th.

Don't get too excited about ruining a no-hitter.

The return of Giles and his hanging sliders comes back to bite us again. Go 'Stros.

It's hard on my heart watching these type of games.

Hinch is a ****ing idiot for putting Giles' sorry ass in the game. Giles should be shelved for the rest of the postseason.

Oh well. Still a long way to go.

Needed this one.

Houston loses 6-2. Up to Keuchel tomorrow, and we need our bats to show up again

Would have been nice to be up 3-1 with Keuchel and Verlander lined up, but it is what it is.

This series may well come down to who has a bullpen left that's worth anything.

Roberts is going the throw all his dudes every game. I think we're finding out who's who.

I think that's a mistake. Wood was great for him tonight, Darvish was horrible and had to be yanked, but Roberts seems to rely too much on the system. Hinch seems to do a better job of noticing who's on and who's off. Yes, it hurt to see Giles struggle, but now was the time to find out, not in game 6 or 7 if it came to that.

Everything, I think, revolves around tomorrow. If Houston wins Game 5, they will find a way to take one in LA, especially with Verlander for Game 6. No way Houston wins two straight in LA if they come in trailing 2 games to 3.

All true. Must win tomorrow.

Look at you and a moment of clarity. Have a blue star.

This game tonight is Gettysburg, the Stros are the yankee army.

I'm damn proud of this team and I think this is only the beginning of a beautiful run.

It occurs to me that all four games came down to one inning.

Game One, game was even except for Turner's 2-run homer in the 6th inning

Game Two, game was decided by Springer's homer in the 11th inning

Game Three, game was decided by the Astros explosive 4th inning

Game Four, game was decided in the 9th innning

Don't like our chances against Kershaw. The bats last night were horrid.

Don't forget, we have Keuchel pitching, and our bats have always come back.

Here we go. Game 5.

Ump using a tight zone on Keuchel, hope the same zone applies when Astros are batting.

2 on, 1 out, top of the 1st.

That zone is really tight. 3-0 on Hernandez now.

bases loaded. Trouble with 1 out

Astros falling apart now

31 pitches by Keuchel in the first, 3 runs for LA on only 2 hits.

We are in a hole, hope our bats show up to get us out of it soon.

What an awful way to start. The walks have been deadly in this World Series. Go 'Stros!

Hopefully Kershaw returns to his usual post season form.

Judging by the first inning, Kershaw is in his Game 1 form.

That 3 run hole is looking like a big problem already.

Keuchel can't find the zone now.

If he doesn't find his mojo right now, we are sunk.

All batters put the ball in play, but 1-2-3 for Dallas in Inning 2.

Now we need the Astro bats to show up

2 innings, Astros bats 0 for 6

12 innings and no hits except those 2 hr's Last night and now Gattis gets a hit.

Playing against Kershaw just isn't fair.

Keuchel seems like he always needs 1 inning to get going.

Keuchel is channeling his inner Giles tonight.

Keuchel is done. The Dodgers have roughed up Keuchel for 4 runs on 5 hits and 2 walks, 1 Houston error.

Gregerson comes on with 2 out in the top of the 4th and 2 on.

Houston bats have one hit and nothing else.

If Houston somehow comes back to win this, it would be the most impressive comeback in Astros playoff history, considering Kershaw's pitching, the deficit, and all the intangibles.

Wild pitch moves Barnes to 3rd. Everything going LA's way right now.
