October 24, 20179 yr Game 1 starts tonight. They're forecasting that it will be over 95 degrees at first pitch. Which would be the hottest temperature at the start of a game since the 2001 WS in Phoenix, AZ. The Dodgers and Astros are the first 100 win teams to meet in the World Series since 1970. Kershaw v. Keuchel tonight. I predict both pitchers will see the 6th inning at least.
October 24, 20179 yr If Chief pops in to offer up one of his classic Dad hilarious jokes, we'll know we have a game thread on our hands.
October 24, 20179 yr I think the Dodgers beat up Keuchel a little bit. I have no sense on Kershaw, but he seems due for a dominant, shut down start.
October 24, 20179 yr The Dodgers are on a plane that the other teams are not. any news on Seager and his health?
October 24, 20179 yr Author I think the Dodgers beat up Keuchel a little bit. I have no sense on Kershaw, but he seems due for a dominant, shut down start. For some reason I'm thinking this will be a pitcher's duel. Maybe a 2-0 ballgame.
October 24, 20179 yr For some reason I'm thinking this will be a pitcher's duel. Maybe a 2-0 ballgame. I would not complain, that is generally my favorite kind of baseball.
October 24, 20179 yr Author The Dodgers are on a plane that the other teams are not. any news on Seager and his health? I saw he was added to the WS roster over Granderson. Not sure if he's going to play tonight though.
October 24, 20179 yr Author I would not complain, that is generally my favorite kind of baseball. Me too. Really I just hope both starters pitch deep into the game so we don't have to watch the bullpen merry-go-round start in the 3rd inning.
October 24, 20179 yr The Dodgers are on a plane that the other teams are not.MLBPA negotiated this aspect of travel and will not allow exceptions.
October 24, 20179 yr MLBPA negotiated this aspect of travel and will not allow exceptions. well played!
October 24, 20179 yr Having a hard time deciding what to watch tonight. If I want something to talk about with my friends tomorrow, I'll watch the wolves. If I want to talk about something with Grandpa tomorrow, I'll watch WS. If I want to stay on the boss's good side, I'll watch the Wild. October, man...I'm leaning T-Wolves with bits of WS throughout.

I plan to watch the bottom of a beer glass, and maybe a board game being played..... also, the WS in the background some of the time. Edited October 24, 20179 yr by Mike Sixel
October 25, 20179 yr Behind the plate tonight, and for game 7 if it's played: the one, the only, Phil Cuzzi. How does this happen?
October 25, 20179 yr These pitchers are goodI may have misheard, but at the end of maybe the fourth inning, I thought Jack Buck closed by saying, "we have a pitchers' duel, and it's a good one". I suppose there have been bad pitchers' duels, but it still sounded dumb.
October 25, 20179 yr BTW, Mrs Ash is at Minute Maid Park tonight, watching the game with the local faithful. I should have had the foresight to accompany her to Houston. It's gotta be a fun scene.
October 25, 20179 yr Author Game 2 tonight. Still going to be a hot one.... 100 degrees at first pitch. Hill v. Verlander on the mound. Verlander has been unstoppable this postseason. Meanwhile, Hill got rocked in his first postseason start. I think Houston evens things up tonight.
October 26, 20179 yr I was waiting for a call from Mrs Ash to pick her up from the airport, so had to leave after Kenley gave up the dinger. Had no idea what I was missing!
October 26, 20179 yr Picked the wrong night (or maybe right night) to go to bed in the 8th inning.Your bad luck was my good fortune, I turned it on in the 7th. Heck of a game. Though I wonder how many people actually saw it.
October 26, 20179 yr Your bad luck was my good fortune, I turned it on in the 7th. Heck of a game. Though I wonder how many people actually saw it. I don't think it went especially late, I just have two really young kids, so I get sleep when I can. Figured it was over with Kenley looming.
October 27, 20179 yr I always have to chuckle when announcers say stuff like this - Joe Buck: "Dodger Stadium is the third oldest ballpark in the majors but you wouldn't know it because it's so well maintained." Hello?? California?? A little harder to maintain a ballpark when we have this thing called WINTER. Minnesota snarkiness aside, Dodger Stadium is a classic ballpark though - very comfortable place to watch a game. And I don't even like the Dodgers.
