World Series-OT

Hoping for the Astros, would be betting on LA.  No serious dog in this hunt.  Relatives who suffered through Harvey in Houston is all.  Hope for a great game 7.

On paper LA has this.  In reality, 'Stros have been finding ways to win despite their bullpen all season.

Well, not a great start for the blue. 

bgebrent

Great start!!

theyolksonyou

What kind of arm slot was that for 1B. Terrible. 

theyolksonyou

You gotta at least look at the runner on second!

Cmon Stros!

Ugly top of the 1st.  Hope LA settles in.  I thought Darvish twisted his ankle on that play.

bgebrent

Whew.

Bottom of 1st will haunt the Dodgers.  Lead-off double doesn't score.  Ouch.

Welp, after the first, we're on a pace for 7.5 hr game. Don't think I'll see the end...

Looks to me like tonight's Dodgers would have trouble in Williamsport.

Have a series, Springer!

Funny how you can't feel comfortable with a 5 run lead. It's early boys

At least each team gets 27 outs (at least) and no clock.

Quitter.  I'm not on deck tomorrow.  Gonna see it through.  Astros are trying to keep it close.

Or not.

I firmly believe records are made to be broken, but I think all of the achievements and records this season should require an asterisk.

Why precisely?

On a side note, these World Series shoulder patches are turrible.

That’s why it is the best game out there.  No clock, you can fail up to 27 times, but if you don’t, the game can last forever.

They're ridiculous.  Look like an afterthought stick on.  You're still awake...

I've got another hour in me as long as I sit up straight.

I've fallen asleep standing up (on an overnight train ride in Greece),  you have at least 2 hours left in you baseball boy.

I've been drinking the red but want to switch to the brown.
But the brown sometimes sends me to sleepytown.

Different baseballs. Not sure what percentage of runs have been scored in this WS via the long ball, but the proliferation of home runs does not make the game more interesting. Having said that, I'm still watching.
