yeah I went to bed after the 8th inning and got all butthurt when I checked the result this morning. it ended at 2:20 AM in my timezone though, it would've been too much of a fuckup te real life. I'll only endure this if it's a game 7 like last year.

Yeah, sucks I missed that game. After a concert in C-Bus Tuesday night and working on my truck all day Wednesday on my day off - my ass was beat. I made it to about the 3rd or 4th inning.

Just watched the highlights. Amazing. That is playoff baseball.
The Astros were owed that one after what happened in 2015 against the Royals.

I stopped watching when it was 3-2 Dodgers, but my buddy is a big Astros fan and was texting me updates.

Dodgers used 9 pitchers last night.
2 of them - Stripling and Fields - didn't record a single out.

They yanked the starter after 4 innings (60 pitches) after he had recorded 7 Ks.

Yankees fired Joe Girardi.
10 years.

Someone is going to be walking into a great situation with all that young talent.

Crap. There isn't anyone great to replace him. I was hoping they'd resign him. I figured they wouldn't though because they're are going to throw a lot of money at keeping Cashman.

I expect Todd Frazier to be leaving as well. I like him on the team, but they have Headley (who no longer needs to fill a gap at first with Bird back) and they'll bring up Torres. There is simply no need to spend the money on Todd.

The thumbs down campaign was fun though.

The Toddfather is one of my favorite players. Great teammate.

But he gets a lot of money for a guy that's gonna hit .240 and net you 30 bombs a season.

I guess Cashman didn't work well with Joe. Both of their contracts are up, and Brian built that team. The Yankees are doing everything they can to get him to resign.

Source: Tex did an interview. Google it.

AJ Hinch got into a fight at his hotel bar after their game 1 loss.

The cops were called. No report taken.

I'm pulling for Houston in the Series, but it's definitely fun to watch Kershaw pitch and leave guys sitting there like "WTF was that?"

Not that Keuchel is a scrub.

Holy Shit! Houston banging up Kershaw! And taking bases when they can. Good baseball.

4-1 Dodgers.
Astros got em at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.
