That writer would be unbearable at media days if they do win it.

I'm not sure LA can win a game in Houston, so I think the Astros find a way to win one of the four in LA.

After the Nat's lost, I said I would be happy with anyone besides the Yankees or Cubs.

Houston seems hot to me and I think they play better at home. Just a gut feel.

My brain says the Dodgers, my heart says the Astros. I listened to my heart, it told me what to do. It would be great to see Verlander get a ring, even for the wrong team.

I think LA wins this one.

Im a huge Ogden Raptors fan who is a rookie affiliate of the Dodgers so I want them to win.....

However having said that I am also a Colorado Rockies fan and make a living of rooting against the Dodgers during the season.

So I guess Im split half and half.

I'm just glad neither the Cubs nor the Yankees made it.

Hmmm, isn't Game 5 in Houston? #22 is scheduled to pitch that one. Say hello to Mr. Kershaw.

Agree and would be nice to see Verlander win a game or 2 in LA.

And? Isn't Kershaw's ERA pretty north of 4.00 this post-season? Let's be honest, Verlander > Kershaw. :coffee:

I remember the 68 series when Bob Gibson mowed down 17 Tigers and lost the next game, game 7. Both Lolich and Gibson went 9 innings. Lolich gave up 5 hits and 1 run, Gibson 8 hits and 4 runs. Looking forward to a Verlander/Kershaw matchup.

Fell asleep after the Dodgers were up 3-1. Woke up and saw the results. 2 bad pitches for Verlander, otherwise he was in form.

Dodgers had it & let it slip away last night. Pretty shabby bullpen work on both sides. Maybe now the managers will be more hesitant to pull their starters early? I hate the new manage by numbers philosophy - let em play.

I hate it too Bill, but it has a lot of momentum. I noticed Fernando got a pretty loud cheer when they announced he had 20 complete games one season.

I honestly did not realize the Dodgers had surpassed the Bankees as having the highest payroll. Shows how much I pay attention to MLB.

Roberts was given a blowjob live on TV by the fox sports announcers after he outmanaged Madden in one of the NLCS games. He outmanaged himself in last night's game.

That was a strange decision.



Even worse was have Jensen pitch two innings.

They tend to over manage in the post season. Roberts got burned on his decision last night. Stripling being ineffective screwed up his plan.
