My wife hates baseball and watched it until the end last night. The only reason, her brother is a BB fan, she spoke with him before the game and he was at the previous game.
The only baseball I watch are the kids at school.
Curling rocks vs. baseball.

Spuzz who could forget that series with Carter's walk off. I went to a WS game at the Metrodome in 91 as a youngster just in high school....that was a helluva series with Atlanta, I remember a lot of close games coming down to the last at bat!

It was a good summer/fall for me

Baseball games were around 2 hr 40 min back in the mid 50's when were you watching games in the 2 hour timeframe. Occasionally a game would end in less that 2 hr but most games were in the 2 1/2 to 3 hr time frame. The reason games are so long today is pitchers take forever to get the signs from the catcher and batters step out of the box almost after every pitch. The pitching coach comes out a bunch of times as does the catcher to talk to the pitcher and of course there is the bringing in the specialist to pitch to one or two batters. Then there is the ever present commercials. The game is changing rapidly. Baseball is constantly using sabre metrics to improve how the game is played. What you are seeing in this series is just the start of it. Pitchers going 4-5 innings and then bringing in relievers to finish the game. This works well in a 162 game season, but when you are playing seven games series and doing this the bull pen is getting burnt out because they have been doing it for most of September and all of the post season. Usually during the season you can use a few pitchers in relief and then send they down to the farm system and bring up fresh arms. In the World Series your roster is frozen unless there is an injury.

Game six up 3 games to two with Justin Verlander pitching I think the Astros just blew the series. Good job by the Dodgers never been a fan since back in the Brooklyn days.

It's been a very compelling postseason for a lot of different reasons. Two years in a row that MLB has really delivered in exciting postseason play.

I still don't follow it like I did back in the 80's, but the past few world series have definitely peaked my interest a little.

I suspect the Astros had their chance last night and let it slip by. Then again - who knows... the two best teams in baseball are going into tonight's game with everything on the line. The Dodgers trying to end a 29-year drought, and the Astros trying to win their first.

It's almost like it was predestined that it would come down to a 7th game.

I will be watching!

Game 7 WS,doesn't get any better....baseball wise.
Darvish/Kershaw here's your chance to write your names down in Dodger history...in a positive way!
Let's get it done Dodgers!

So is it going to be a slug fest or a pitching duel? Yu needs to step his game and If he doesn't I doubt Kershaw will help pitching on one day of rest. McCullers Jr. needs to go at least 6 innings. This may end up with which bull pen is more rested. Hope this game is as much fun as the rest of the series. This has been really good for the game. I think the fringe fans like the long ball and not low scoring games. I know 162 games is a long season and people just don't have the patience to stay with something as long these days. For me I hate that the season is over tonight and already getting ready for all the off season trades and signing of free agents. Shortly after that comes Spring training. 😄

Damn not a good start for Darvish down 2 in the first! 🙁

ode

Dodgers need to be patient and lay off the breaking ball.

PA-PLAYA

Damn. The Astros mean business tonight.

darpar

Darvish just hasn't come up big when it matters most.....9 runs in 4 innings pitched sucks for a starter.

Par4QC

darpar 9 runs in 4 innings pitched sucks for a starter.

Esp. sucks for someone who was looking at $175mil, after tonight. Key word= WAS!

jeezus.....he'll probably be down in the Cubs' $$ range now........$83/mo. + meals.

darpar

Puig needs to stop lickin the bat and start hitting the friggin ball!

Just curious, as I am watching this looooong game, why do they NEED to have 162 games in the regular season? Why not cut it down to say, 112 games (cut 50 out). The season is so long now when you combine the spring training and regular season and then the post season, that it wouldn't hurt to shorten the season some.
Football runs for, what 6.5 months, baseball is what, 9 months?

The reason they went to 162 is MONEY!!!! Sports is big business and that means raking in the bucks. Once they got up to 162 they will not go back to 154 or less games.

Can't watch anymore. This was going to be the greatest WS ever, until tonight.
