On the other hand, anybody on short rest never really pans out, though CC is lights out following a Yankee loss which may simply be luck.   Yankees should have a bullpen edge tonight.

Yeah, I don't think they have a choice.  Yanks have a bullpen edge over basically everyone, and the way the Astros pen has been lately, for sure

The throw to the plate, tag, and putout was easily one of the greatest defensive putouts I've ever seen in my life.   Congratulations to Houston.

You forgot Ron Cey he was a major dbag on those LA teams. I didn't like them either.  Lasorda made me dislike the Dodgers til about 10 yrs ago.  Loved listening to Scully.

Rick Monday, while I associate him as a dodger was actually a cub when he saved the flag at Dodger stadium.  That doesn't make me cheer for the Cubs.
yup, the penguin was annoying as hell
and Monday being a Cub didn't help his cause
Scully one of the best of all-time

I'd rather be playing the less-talented Yankees in the WS, but whatever.  I'm nervous, lol.  

It's reeeally weird playing what had been an NL team for nearly my whole life in the WS now.  Hell, imagine if it was HOU-MIL, lol.

Both pitchers are dealin'.  Announcers talking about Kershaw's efficiency, but Keuchel has a lower pitch count.  11 K and 2 hits given up by Kershaw....he's too good.

LA has plenty of lefty bats when HOU dips into its pen.

Good rhythm tonight for both guys.  Dallas looked like he wasn't fooling anybody early, but then really started to look sharp.   Turner is hitting everybody.  For a minute I thought we were about to see a 'walk less'  World Series game, the first since G1 of '83.

These 4-second commercials for Wendy's and T-Mobil are reeeeeally necessary.

I love thinking about these brands that I have never come into contact with before, and likely never will (T Mobile).

...and we miss Jansen's first pitch....wtf 

Springer is a good, young player.  But against elite pitching, he's a strikeout bitch.

If it is NY v LA, it may be the 12 WS between the two but it would be the first one since '81.  That's the first WS I have actual memories watching.   I'm sure I was in front of the TV for '80 (Phils/Royals), my older brother says so but I can't recall anything.


I seem to have very faint memories of Royals/Phillies. My lasting memory of the 81 series is Goose Gossage hitting Ron Cey in the head.  As a 5 year old watching I legit thought he killed Cey.
