Remember when you had to hit a ball well for it to be a HR?

I thought that was gone
Such a strange ballpark. Pop flies to either line are out easily but balls crushed to the center third are DOA.

This crowd is spent. Really impressed by the Houston faithful. You can tell they really really want this one.

Even so you can tell that 5 hours of this is taking it out of them

Dodgers have to be demoralized. Up 4-0 with Kershaw, he reverts back to postseason Kershaw and then Jansen chokes. Houston should have the mental edge with Kate Upton’s boo on the bump on Tuesday.

Eat crap, Dodgers.

Eat ****, Dodgers.


Dodgers were 100-1 with Kershaw pitching and having scored at least four rounds prior to tonight

Jansen has to be about done for the series

It would be insane to pitch him Tuesday

Both of these bullpens are spent. Houston better hope that Verlander goes a complete game because these guys need a rest.

KU nice touch. But just observing the Doyer's "fans" in our ball park is enough to hate them even more. 1988, nuf sed.

It had to be one of the best world series games I've ever watched. Back and forth. Glad the good guys won!

Yup. Although I think Houston is probably in a little bit better shape

Jansen has now pitched two innings twice now

I can't think of a better one in my memory. It was like Duke-Kentucky in the great NCAA tournament game or Ali-Frazier. Greatness just pushing each other to a point where it was just a marvel to watch and you know it's historic.

That was an epic game. And 100x times sweeter that it was the Dodgers on the losing end.
