WS Game 7.....nothing better in sports especially when you dont care who wins. I hope it goes 17 innings and Puig gets to pitch

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

I know what I’m doing tonight! Hoping for yet another dramatic game.

 

[NFBuck]

What a meltdown by Darvish. Holy shit.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Astros offense is so good.

Darvish got bombed.

As if the Astros having a lead wasn't fun enough, Dodgers fans are losing their shit on Twitter. :popcorn:

Come on, Houston. Don't blow it.

 

[ExpatAkronite]

Dodgers have stranded 8. Enron will eventually leak.

Charlie Morton on to pitch in the 6th inning of game seven in the WS. What could possibly go wrong?

Charlie Morton on to pitch in the 6th inning of game seven in the WS. What could possibly go wrong?

Every time he's pitched this postseason, I've wondered if there are two different MLB pitchers named Charlie Morton, because this can't be the same guy that the Reds used to shell three times a year six or seven years ago when they played Pittsburgh. I wouldn't let that Charlie Morton within 500' of a pitchers mound in a World Series, because that guy sucked something fierce.

Would’ve been more fun to see a close game, but still entertaining to see Mary Hart hovering over the batsmen for 3 hours. I am bummed they didn’t show all the celebrities after the final out.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Good for the Astros. Good for the city of Houston. Fuck Justin Verlander though.

 

[Jake]

Astros went through Boston, the Yankees, and the Dodgers, all in one postseason. That's a lot of history to get your first title.

 

[brodybuck21]

What a meltdown by Darvish. Holy [Mark May].

hindsight is 20/20 but IMIMHO darvish shouldve never come out for the second inning

 

[Dryden]

It is crazy how two teams saw their fortunes swing on deadline acquisitions. Verlander was money for two straight months for the Astros, while Darvish bombed out on the big stage.

But Kershaw blew two big leads in Game 5. If he starts Game 7 on short rest and spots the Astros a 4-0 lead Roberts gets blasted for not starting Darvish. The argument goes both ways.

Darvish was acquired specifically for the postseason, especially his familiarity with AL batters.
