There’s nothing worse than rooting for the away team during extra innings. I can barely watch.

Let’s Go Dodgers ... clap, clap ... clap-clap-clap. Dodgers win in 18.

Man what a game. Watched most of it although I nodded off during the excitement of the top of the 13th. Woke up to see Kinsler blow it and then couldn’t get back to sleep until it was over.

Sox did some damage alright - to my eye bags!

Sox best chance to win tonight is to score early and often. I hope to see their regular line up even if it means Mookie at 2b. I think they need that righty, lefty, righty batting order with Mookie, Benitendi and Martinez as 1-2-3. I’d like to see Holt instead of Kinsler and maybe give Nunez a few innings off.

Cora said it would be a lefty starting. I’m guessing it will be E-Rod - he’s been sketchy since coming off the DL. Here’s hoping Roberts goes back to that weak sauce line up from the first 2 games!

Well, I only made it through the 13th and tied at 2. So I listened to this a couple times this morning...

What a day. We left at 3:30 to contend with the Dodger Stadium crowd. Typically, we park at the Zoo and take the shuttle into the Bowl. Parking at the Bowl is terrifying. The cars are "Stacked" parked with no roads/paths between cars. (The only way you're gonna move is when the car ahead or behind you moves.) Between us and the Zoo is Dodger Stadium ... thousands of cars bringing the freeways to a molasses-like crawl. We figured that the game should be over around 9:00 p.m. ... the Bowl over at 11:00 p.m. ... cool. Half the people at the Bowl were outfitted in "Nightmare Before Christmas" clothing and the other half in Dodger Blue. Especially, during the extra innings, between songs, everyone had the World Series on their lips ... who's up, the count, who's pitching and the play(s). The Zoo is about 15 minutes from Dodger Stadium, I was hoping no one would score before we passed Elysian Park. As it turned out, we made it back for about the 13th inning and watched the remaining game in our pj's.

PS- If Joe Buck wants to coach, maybe he should be a coach not a stupid announcer.

PPS- The show was possible one of the best evenings of entertainment Gary has ever attended. It was wonderful ... amazingly and fantastically wonderful.

I’m looking for a big game from Mookie and JD tonight.

Watched a few of the pre game shows. It’s a shame that the Nate Eovaldi storyline has kind of overshadowed the beautiful game that Beuhler pitched last night.

If you haven’t seen the Kevin Millar video on all the mishaps for Nunez through the years, find it and watch it. It’s amazing how many times he has hit the dirt. Once at 2b he just went down for no apparent reason. I hadn’t realized it was such a thing with him.

 

[jcdeboever]

Rich Hill has more left in the tank, don't take him out....geez. He is pitching fantastic.

Good, left him in there.

What a warrior. Great start tonight. Got to think about him if this thing goes 7. He was dominant tonight.

 

[jcdeboever]

See. Let the guy pitch. These managers are micro managing to a fault. Hill was dealing. Should have let him ride. Dumb

 

[jcdeboever]

If LA loses his game, you can thank Robert's. All this pitch count crap is stupid when you got a guy 1 hitting a RedSox team for 6 innings. I could see this coming.

Yup.

 

[SquarePeg]

Machado wouldn’t last a minute here. The fans and the media would crucify his bush league bs. He’s a dirty punk. Spiking Pearce on that play was so cheap. He’s going to get drilled his next at bat - my moneys on Brasier, he’s a bit of a badass.
