October 22, 20178 yr Author Good game tonight. I think Houston matches up well against LA. Looking forward to a good series. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
October 22, 20178 yr My dad is a proud Angeleno with a burning hot hatred for the Yankees and all things New York (the way he described his brief stay in the city makes me believe his experience was akin to that of Homer Simpson's), so unfortunately for him he won't be seeing his dream 7th World Series game of them shutting down the Yankees called by Vin Scully. Edited October 22, 20178 yr by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
October 26, 20178 yr Author Amazing game last night. Verlander was dealing a no hitter into the 5th, three big comebacks and a dramatic extra innings finsh. Game 1 was sort of dull. Game 2 anything but. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

October 28, 20178 yr Author Great game last night. The Astros almost blew it open with a grand salami in the 7th. Another two feet and it would have been in the bullpen. Nice job by Pea**** in his longest outing of the season. Of course the downside is they have likely lost him until game 6, if there is one.

October 29, 20178 yr Author Don't know about the balls but the ratings are juiced. Game 4 was the higest rated WS game in 5 years. WS ratings over the first four games are the highest since 2014.

November 1, 20178 yr Author Game 7 ?! "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
November 1, 20178 yr Bummed that the Astros couldn't get to Rich Hill. This figures to be a much tougher match up, but who knows what will happen in this crazy series?
November 1, 20178 yr Author The Dodgers bullpen is spent. They are going to need Yu to go at least 6 and then maybe have Kershaw come in. If the Astros can hit Darvish they have a real good chance tonight. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
November 1, 20178 yr Author The last time the Dodgers played a WS game 7 was 1965. A friend sent me a picture of the program from that game: "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

November 1, 20178 yr Kind of prophetic that they went with a space theme and now the next game 7 is them playing the Astros.
November 1, 20178 yr Author In '65 project Gemini was big news and the Twins were i the WS. It just works as a space theme. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
November 2, 20178 yr Author Darvish does not have it tonight. "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
November 2, 20178 yr Darvish does not have it tonight. That's an understatement. Into the bullpen now for both squads. I hope Houston stays ahead, but I'm not betting on anything in this game.
