The Coffee House

[Gary A.]

@ JC- On the front page of the "PLAYOFFS" section of the Los Angeles Times is a huge photo of Granderson balanced on one foot, arms out above his head, fingers spread wide and under a helmeted head his eyes are wide and mouth open, after he scores on the Barnes double.

From the Times article- "Rich Hill clutched the cardboard sign and walked into the Dodger Dugout. The crowd at Dodger Stadium was sitting on its hands in the bottom of the seventh inning Saturday, minutes after a five-run lead over Arizona had shrunk to two. The second game of the National League Division series was no longer a party. a lark, a celebration of the Dodgers' might. The 54,726 fans assembled at Chavez Ravine wore the scars of the past and the tension of the present.

October is a cruel month. The highs feel fleeting. The lows are eternal. Hill sought to counteract the encroaching dread with a handcrafted message: 'Make Some Noise.'

The crowd caught Hill's drift. The cheers gathered in volume as the Dodgers mounted a rally. As if on cue, a grounder from Chris Taylor rolled through the legs of Arizona shortstop Ketel Marte, a run scored. The crowd exploded, and the Dodgers had enough to hang on for an 8-5 victory ..."

Puig is coming of age. If there is one single player that will/can carry the Dodgers to a World Series, it will be Puig.

Drury knew that pitch was coming, nice tip off from 2B.

Really ... you saw that ... or assumed 'cause 2nd was occupied ?

I seen it by his movement at the plate immediately after he stepped into the batters box. He looked slightly left, set, and bang. The catcher was throwing down the same signals all game, I could call them as I seen them nearly every time, in the comfort of my man cave. Trust me, this won't happen again for the rest of the year. The catcher kind of fell asleep on this one. Dave Roberts will have a talk with the young man but nothing harsh, just be aware of every detail. These guys are pros and are pros at finding edges. I knew it was going to happen. My son in law thought I was a genius picking that up and verbalizing it prior to the kill. He said, "your a freak, how did you know that?" I called it moments prior to lift off.

as long as he doesn't do something totally stupid, I don't trust his baseball character. IMO, he is the one weak link in your team. He takes unnecessary risks, he is somewhat of a mental midget when it comes to playing the game. Dave Roberts needs to tread lightly on this extremely talented player. He can just as easily win you games as lose them. He is so physically gifted to a fault.

I am so pulling for you my good friend. Hill is an amazing pitcher. He is a master at the craft of pitching. One of the best. He has no business being out there but your great manager and Honey know all to well about the mental makeup of a professional. This guy is amazing to watch pitch. I have him on auto record for every start.

I agree ... as in his attempt at stealing second.

You are too kind! What do you think the Sox chances are today?

 

[JonA_CT]

Tickets are still available, Sharon. You should drive in, haha. Fister has to be flawless imo. I just don’t see the Sox scoring a lot of runs.

I’ll be flipping between football and the Sox this afternoon.

Astros do generally good work away.
However Sox are playing for their lives.
Somehow Dave believes Sox may win this one....

Taking the train like sardines with hundreds of other fans is half the fun.
