Quoted from o-din:Last night's was an excellent game to watch.
Nationals beating the best pitcher Houston has bodes well for their chances of winning it all.
Looking forward to tonight's game as well.
Verlander gonzo. Nats up 8-2 in 7th. Still boding well for Washington.
Not looking good for any team losing the first two games at home. Houston is certainly up against the ropes now. Hard road trip ahead.
Probably go 5 games at most.
Yep, I'm feeling sweep now. But can't help but remembering how the Dodgers managed to squeak out one win last year.
Quoted from o-din:Home is not where the heart is in this World Series. Anything can happen now.
It really is wide open now. I would even say even though Nats are up 2-1 it feels like it’s tied because Houston is so stacked and they could win the next 3 games 8-1. I hope (and pray) this goes to 7 and I can see Scherzer/Cole or Strasburg/Verlander. I haven’t done the math to see if that’s possible, but as an ex-pitcher those matchups give me the chills when I watch them.
The truth is the Astros let game 1 slip from them. They pulled it out last night. Today is a bull pen day so anything can happen. Astros need this to tie it up....but if you aren’t playing the best you can’t win and though the Astros are the better team they are not playing like it. The Nats are a very good team. Hope the Astros get on track and win it all!
It's do or die for the Nat's, unbelievable they went from 2-0, to 2-3 and on the brink of elimination! Tonight's game should be intense...
Pretty good game today. Looking like we'll see a game 7. So far the road team has won every game. That's crazy.
looking forward to #7
Been a great series and a great post season.
Fun times, some titty debacles, and even some fun stats.
It's crazy that Verlander just can't buy a World Series win, adding yet another World Series start without a win to his MLB record of World Series starts without a win. I live near Detroit and have been a lifetime Tigers fan. The Tigers went to the World Series in 2006 & 2012 and only came away with 1 win out of those 2 combined World Series (ouch!). At the time we had Verlander as our ace, so that record started here.
This World Series is crazy as it's gone to game 7, and in the first 6 games no home team has won. If the Nats win tonight, that'll be a full game 7 World Series which no games won by a home team. Has that ever happened before?
It amuses me that people keep talking about Verlander - meanwhile Strasburg just became the first pitcher in history to go 5-0 in the postseason. Let's go Nats!
Quoted from GoodOmens:It amuses me that people keep talking about Verlander
Well, he has set an amusing MLB record of World Series futility which nobody may ever top.
Quoted from Rum-Z:... This World Series is crazy as it's gone to game 7, and in the first 6 games no home team has won. If the Nats win tonight, that'll be a full game 7 World Series which no games won by a home team. Has that ever happened before?
No. Not possible given that, as you've pointed out, this is the first time the visiting team has won the first six games in a World Series.
Quoted from Tuna_Delight:this is the first time the visiting team has won the first six games in a World Series.
Or any NBA or NHL championship series.
Greinke has been one of my favorite players since he was a Royal. I was ecstatic to have him on the Brewers. Hes the Garth Melgar of baseball. I hope he has a great night.
Greinke has them tonight, with the pitch count this low he will most likely pitch the whole game. Houston going to win another World Series.
One of those hits was a HR, and then he sent a runner to first. Great outting, but I think I'm also expecting my pen to do some heavy lifting for 8 outs.
6 outs away from winning a few hundred bucks! I picked the Nats in 7... everyone else had the Astros in 6...
Let’s go Nats!
Quoted from ralphwiggum:6 outs away from winning a few hundred bucks! I picked the Nats in 7... everyone else had the Astros in 6...
Let’s go Nats!
I bet the Nats to win the series before yesterday’s game. 7-1 odds. Let’s go!
Wow......just wow
Congratulations Nationals!
First team to win World Series without any home games.......right?
Hell yeah. DC sports has had such a drought of sports championships. Nats in 19 and the caps last year. We won’t discuss the Skins.
Another stake in the heart of Dan Snyder.
Great series! Mind blowing to think not a single home crowd left happy this series.
I also was surprised they pulled their starter, and was happy to see him leave the mound.
As a long suffering Expos fan I was happy to see the franchise win it’s first World Series. It was a fun series to watch, too!
Quoted from Eightball88:As a long suffering Expos fan I was happy to see the franchise win it’s first World Series. It was a fun series to watch, too!
Congrats. I was an Expos fan too back in the day as a kid (they were my NL team to go along with the White Sox in the AL). I still have an Expos hat and get high fives to this day from random strangers who are not from Canada (like myself) who were just drawn to the Expos for some reason.
The Texas Rangers have the worst world series loses ever. This year, the Astros attempted to out-do them.
I guess it's a Texas thing.
Taking advantage of a pitcher tipping his pitches is one thing....but stealing signs? This looks sketchy as fuck!
So now both the Red Sox and the Astros have been caught cheating in the years they beat the Dodgers.
How fkd up is that for guys like Kershaw who's reputation was at stake, or anybody else on the team or those that rooted for them.
Both teams should be given lifetime bans from baseball.
Quoted from rwmech5:It's only cheating if you get caught......
And....they got caught.
