Strider Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 It is positively blazing out here...102° as I type this. Players better hydrate themselves often or else there will be a lot of cramping on the field. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2017/10/23/game-1-in-los-angeles-will-probably-be-the-hottest-world-series-face-off-on-record/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.b93963629c0f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hill not having his best year but he is good. Its asking too much to shut down this Astros team two games in a row. The Dodgers may have to out slug them. But they can get to Verlander. Unless he is truly in the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I don't expect the Dodgers to beat Verlander tonight. Besides, I don't want a sweep...I want a good, exciting 7-game series. Best thing about last night's game (besides the win) was that it was only 2 hours and 28 minutes. It is so rare to get a baseball game under three hours these days...especially a playoff game. The game zipped by so fast, it was over in time for me to go to a concert last night. It was also nice to see Larry King back in his seat next to Mary Hart. Mary has been there every night...she's a stalwart. But Larry was MIA for a bit. I just hope he doesn't melt in the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see... The Yankees-Astros series was all about home-cooking. Each team played well at home and terrible on the road. Houston got 4 home games to the Yankees 3...that was the difference in the ALCS. In the World Series the Dodgers have home field advantage so Houston only gets 3 home games. That makes tonight's game imperative for Houston to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But losing 2-1 in both games 1&2 was hardly dominance and proves to me Houston can be beaten at home - especially to a team as talented as the Dodgers. Good luck tonight!

Come on Rick, surely a baseball nut such as yourself knows that the Dodgers were always referred to as "Dem Bums" in Brooklyn? Looks like we got ourselves a real Fall Classic. Good...sweeps are usually not fun to watch. I fully expected the Astros to win Game 2 behind Justin Verlander and tie this Series up going to Houston. I just didn't expect it to be in such a wild and woolly fashion. I figured Verlander would shut 'em down and pitch an economical game just as Kershaw did the night before. Everyone on the East Coast, kids included, gets to go to bed before 11pm. But no...Dave Roberts has to pull Rich Hill way too early and begin the start of multiple commercial breaks for pitching changes. That early hook would have repercussions down the line for the Dodgers. In short, Game 2 was the polar opposite of Game 1. I knew something was askew when I came out of my friend's movie premiere after 9pm last night and saw the Dodger game was still on TV...FIVE hours later! Right away, I figured the game must be in extra innings. Glad to see Vin Scully last night. If only he hadn't retired last year. And old Larry King survived another 100° game. With mountains to the east, sunset to the west, Dodger Stadium always looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually wine, so I'd say the chances of it being any good are slim However, I'd get a bottle just for a collection, should I be inclined to collect such things. Like a bottle of 2004 50th Orioles Anniversary cab. Which I will never open, because what's the point... Looks like the Astros haven't forgotten Yu's stuff.
