I do wish the Dodgers pitchers would stop throwing gopher balls.
I hate the Dodgers and was ecstatic with the outcome and Roberts's horrible management of his pitching staff, but man I love, love, love Vin. He is just the flat-out greatest. LA, I hope you were there in time for his pre-game appearance.
Yes I was, I recorded the whole thing. It was a terrific evening, with so much electricity in the air. I’ve never been to a World Series game before. It was two great teams playing each other in a great game. The Astros deserved to win, because in the end they outplayed the Dodgers.
Sancho my son, lose your hatred for the Dodgers. It’s bad for the soul.
The pregame with Vin, Yeager, and Fernando is a memory for all time. (Almost as great as seeing Koufax on TV just for a moment.) You couldn't see it, but Hill was soooo pissed off in the dugout when told he was being taken out. Smoltz is a great commentator, and he correctly pointed out several times (early on) that the risk of Roberts' strategy is that you are counting on every reliever to do his job--and it doesn't always happen. It only takes one to have an off night to ruin it (or in this case, three).
The Astros had to win Verlander's start to make it a series. Now it will be, and could be a great one.
When you watch the game, pay close attention to Jack Buck's tribute to Scully. Coming from the son of Joe Buck, it was great.
Here’s the Vjn Scully first pitch video:

Four batters. Seven pitches. Two homers, a double and a single. I’ve never seen a performance that bad from a reliever in a big game.
Yeah....the article today about the baseballs was interesting.
MLB is saying nothing has changed, but everyone else says it’s obvious the balls are more slippery.

This has got to be one of the greatest World Series games ever.
I am not a big baseball fan in general, but this is a helluva game. Fun to watch, especially not having a rooting interest in ether team. I can only imagine the emotional roller coaster diehard fans of either team are going through.
I was I hadn't taken the under at 24.5.
This is not a baseball game, it’s war of attrition.
You lose bc you hit a batter and walked another with 2 outs? Can't any pitcher play this game?
Wow, I'm kicking myself this morning. I have not been sleeping well lately and was pretty exhausted yesterday. With Houston up by 3 in the 8th I figured it was safe to take a unisom and go to bed. Woke up and saw that I missed plenty more fireworks.
Great Verducci story on the effect of this year's series.

Verlander looks locked-in tonight. Bad news for Dodgers.
Justin Verlander is human after all!
