Series Thread: World Series: Los Angeles Dodgers vs Houston Astros

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Both teams could return next year if they make any needed fixes.

They could.

This time last year, the Cubs were a lock. Baseball’s a funny sport.

Grats, Astros.
Props, Dodgers.
Thank you, MLB.
Heckuva season.
See you again in about 4 months.
Can't wait.

Congrats to the Astros, I lived from age 9 to 18 in suburban Houston. Used to go to Astros games at the Dome, watching Bob Watson and Nolan Ryan and Jose Cruuuuuuuuuuz

Congrats to the Dodgers too, that's a great team, classy players, they likely own the division the next few years.

But still: 1988 1988 1988 1988!

Yu Darvish

Dodgers found a way to blow this series. They shouldn't have even needed a game 7. Only loss should be the Darvish game 3 debacle. They BLEW both extra inning games (games 2 & 5). Who knows, if CB Bucknor doesn't get in the way off that pick off throw in game 2 the Dodgers might have won in 6? They blew it.

They definitely did blow it. Still, no excuse for not making McCullers pay tonight. Lead off double and two hit batters that resulted in 0 runs. Knew then that the Dodgers would be in trouble and that happened in the 1st or 2nd inning.

Game 2 you can kinda live it but game 5 will kill them all winter. Up 4-0 with your ace on the mound and you somehow lose? Unacceptable

You can thank MLB for that one. YURI YURI YURI!

Verlander, hoping around like he won a start.

Lolz

Coattail riding faggot. Go home,

Verlander was great for Houston. Went 5-0 in the regular season. 2-0 in the division series and 2-0 in the AL championship series. He also pitched good in his world series games, just didn't get the win.

 

[The Q]

Any one know why Peacock didn't get credit with the win for his excellent work last night?

Congrats to the Astros and their fans. Now i just need to meet an Astro Fan.

I'm happy Beltran finally got a ring.

The irony of it is he and the Astros might have gotten a ring back in 2005 if he hadn't bolted to the Mets that season.

 

[Montalban]

Ahem. It's a law of physics with you.

Awesome! Let's try again: No way will the Giants win the division in '18.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The more I think about it, the more pissed I get at Dave Roberts and his stupid fucking decision to stay with Darvish in the 2nd. All I wanted was an exciting Game 7, and that shitbird single-handedly deprived me of it.

I'm going to write an angry letter.

It only works when you actually believe your prediction.

 

[jayfan]

So, is Darvish's house still going to be standing tomorrow?

Dodger fans should be more upset with Roberts than Darvish.

 

[Montalban]

It only works when you actually believe your prediction.

But I do believe it. The Giants are either the worst or second worst team in the division.
