Glad you got in, Matt, I'm sure that has to have been a great time!

It wa something we’ll never forget. Glad I was on a plane so I didn’t have to see the 9th inning last night. It looks like Giles may not be given the ball again after that.

Yay, Matt, happy you got tickets!  Glad you made the trip.

Last night they were going into the 9th and I guess i fell asleep.  I woke up to the post game show and they were talking about the score.  WTF!  Glad I missed it too.

I stayed up watching football until 3 AM Saturday night into Sunday morning...which means I missed this wild one.  Have to sleep sometime.
Hoping the Dodgers push it to 7.
Goes to show how little, in some ways, the regular season stats mean.  Dodgers closer was the best in the league this year and if he was just able to do his job the series might be over now and Dodgers have won 4-1.  (Of course Giles gakked as well.)  Props to the Astros for taking those two games and making it 3-2.

American League ball with the DH.  and the ball just might be juiced.  i wonder what the percentage of runs scored this post season that haven't been on home runs?  i love home runs but it's kind of getting absurd this playoffs.

So during the regular year you might see a pitcher once over the course of a series.  Here they've seen every pitcher twice now from both teams and both bullpens are being used every game so runs are going to go up.  

The batters are getting used to the pitchers.

That game was insane. Hoping Verlander can close it out tomorrow, but it’s going to be tough.

Yeah, 22 home runs so far!  That's crazy. Saw this interesting article on juiced baseballs:

i dozed off in the late innings of it.  saw the ending though

gotta end this in Game 6!

my “real team” once pissed away a 5-0 lead in what could have been a clinching game 6, on the road. I knew they had blown their one chance.

fuck the d**gers.

All postseason long the 'box' they throw up there has shown the umps to be inconsistent.  I guess juicing the ball makes it easier on the hitters so they are trying to take a little back.

It’s gone both ways for both teams.

And yet, the game was still 13-12. Imagine if he had a tight strike zone? Ther was too many walks as it was. That game might've been 20-19 with a tight strike zone>LOL

MAYBE we'll get a good tight baseball  game tonight?
