Let's get back to the Astros. Win or lose, I will be glad when this series is over. This has probably been the most stressful time of my life. I get way too involved and almost feel it is more enjoyable watching a game when I don't care about the 2 teams. I don't like the Astros chances, but I know they can do it. Need the bats. I saw where Richard Justice said Dodgers were the best MLB team hitting the curve, which is McCullers best pitch. This could be a wild game and with the pitchers, it could be a 2-1 game.
There were media types that said we'd never make it past Chris Sale.

Their pen is tired, and on short rest.

If its a boring ass 2-1 thats fine as long as we finish on top.

And even if we dont, I truly believe we are poised to make it right back next year with a few tweaks.

Its been one hell of a series either way.

One thing that I keep in the back of my mind, it took the Almighty 4 years to give New Orleans a ring after Katrina. Will he give us something for what we've gone through?
I admit I'm biased, but when I look and think on the stories about Altuve and Correa, all they went through to help build this team, the play-me-where-you-want attitude of Marwyn, the leadership of Hinch and McCann, and compare it to anybody, I can't help but think those guys deserve for their work to be rewarded, for Houston to be rewarded for the kind of town it is.

I really do respect the Dodgers organization, but cheering for LA is kind of like cheering for IBM or Microsoft. Houston deserves its title, and I dearly hope it happens tonight.


My wife says I'm way off base bringing the Lord into it.

But for all the **** I've given you, some deserved some not, I agree with this post and whatever happens, I'll be in 222 next year for 60 games or so.

My daughter asked me what I expected for tonight and I said, "In my experience watching baseball for the last 50 years... in the 7th game of a World Series, anything can happen and it usually does."

If the Astros win, that much sweeter.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

It's awesome to see Dodger fan calling for Yuli's head... they are all about racial sensitivity...

When they built their stadium they evicted thousands of poor Hispanic people and bulldozed their graveyards.... I guess their descendants can catch a game and visit the desecrated bones of their ancestors

The Cleveland Indians and their racist iconography have lost a lot of games and WS heartbreakers.

Poor McCann, god bless him, but he runs like he's in agonizing pain.

Once again Reddick is an easy out with runners on second and third with no outs.

Let's do it. If there's another example of a solid bunch of guys in sports today, I can't think of one. Love to see them win this thing.

Plus, I can't freaking stand the Dodgers.

I don't think we get here without Reddick. Didn't he have the highest home obp on the team?

Had he performed better last night, chances are we would still be celebrating. I am all in for the Astros, but he is no clutch hitter.

I agree about his accomplishments this year, but baseball is very much a "what have you done for me lately" game. Giles is a primary example.

after 3 months of throwing gasoline on every fire he saw, and being totally forgotten in the playoffs, Liriano gets Ellay to go 0-2 with a K and a weak ground ball in pressure situations.... good for him
