World Series Opener Tonight

[BaitongBoy]

Haven't followed baseball at all, this season...But here we are with the Houston Astros playing the Los Angeles Dodgers for all the marbles...

I think it's 2 games in LA, then 3 in Houston, then the final 2 back in LA, (if necessary) to fit the new format...

Kinda liked it better the old way...Believe it used to be 2, 2, 1, 1, 1...Don't know when they changed it...

Series opener tonight, Tuesday, October 24th...

Hope it's a close and exciting match-up...

I hear it's tied 1-1, top of the sixth...

Holy Cow!...In the immortal words of Harry Caray of the Cubs...

"The temperature at Dodger Stadium when Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw threw the first pitch to George Springer of the Houston Astros was a sizzling 103 degrees.


The previous high game-time temperature for a World Series game dating back to 1975 was 94 degrees for the 2001 Fall Classic opener between the New York Yankees and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Game 6 of that series reached 91 degrees."

********

The records are falling already...Heh...

Astros 1-3 Dodgers, Final

Altuve skies to right, Puig is there to make the play, and the Dodgers take the first game of the 113th World Series in two hours and 28 minutes, the fastest Fall Classic encounter since 1992.

Heh...Another record...

Game 2 tomorrow night in LA...

Go on the Dodgers!

Simply for their team name alone.

Damn, I really have to start watching this.

What position does she play?

[Jesus Jones]

Thanks for the warning!

Bottom of the 5th and the Astros lead it 1-0 in Game 2 in LA...

[Bonglek]

Damn, I really have to start watching this.

What position does she play?

Missionary if you play your cards right.

[BaitongBoy]

Reminds me of Meatloaf's Paradise By The Dashboard Light...

A different game, indeed...

^ Do you care if you ever get back, Booners?...

[Boon Mee]

Where are the Brits and the obligatory "Rounders" comments?

[Boon Mee]

^ Do you care if you ever get back, Booners?...

Nope - actually haven't lived in the States that many years since school.

[BaitongBoy]

^^ Heh...The mythical stature of gods like Babe Ruth and Joe DiMaggio are unmatched, even in rounders...

[BaitongBoy]

Apparently it's tied 1-1, bottom of 6th...
