Well that is all I wanted to see.  A tight game 6 to give us a 7.   Will be fun to speculate what Roberts' plan is as far as the bullpen goes.  Jansen done?  Seems inevitable we'll see Kershaw for two innings in a tight game.  McCullers is throwing long toss on the field right now for Houston.

Darvish - Kershaw - Jansen

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

Springer is a good, young player.  But against elite pitching, he's a strikeout bitch.
ya really shouldn't type that kinda stuff out loud

Postseason Darvish is about as far from elite pitching as it gets

Darvish dealt in the earlier rounds though.  Here....not too good.

Any one of us could've hit Darvish in his WS starts.  Garbage.  Springer is having a great WS, but I stand by my statement.

As for the Dodgers, down 5-0 and now 0-7 with RISP.....they're done.  Might as well take 3 ambien and jerk off.....

I guess all 5 HRs were off crap pitchers

Dodgers were lucky as hell to get the the WS with arms like that

but, that wouldn't surprise me.  I'll always stand by the statement that the Dodgers suck

Heh, Charlie Morton.  Unbelievable.

Love to see a team built like that win it, and would love to get the feelings from Pirates ownership

Alan Trammell and Jack Morris into the HOF.

Gut feel was that Morris was more deserving, but honestly his induction is a little surprising, while Trammell, who was my first favorite Tiger, was long overdue.

This is a new veterans committee (I don't think the public really knows exactly who is on this new vet com.)  I was very pleased to see Alan make it, well deserved.  We can still hope Lou Whitaker gets a shot.   I guess Ted Simmons was a vote short.  :c002: .  Bobby Grich another guy I wish would get proper consideration.

  I was never a Morris for HOF guy, but if was somehow a if Trammell is in, then so his Morris, I'm ok with it.
