2017 Playoffs - Astros electronic sign stealing - Now Astros fire Luhnow and Hinch

[tinselwolverine]

With such a rich history as the Dodgers have had from Brooklyn, (with Jackie Robinson and beating the Yankees in game 7 of 1955 with Johnny Podres, first win vs. New York in 6 or 7 Series iirc beginning in 1941), to the years in the 1960's with one of favorite pitchers the great Sandy Koufax, there are alot to choose from.
Maybe the Los Angeles Dodgers fans don't count the franchises years in Brooklyn, or the poll had Dodger fans who are too young to remember Sandy and his blazing fastball and his curve that would drop like it fell off a table.

This is for ALL LA teams...including college football and basketball teams...that's a lot of sports history right there...

Looking to break my curse this WS. The last time the team I rooted for to win the WS actually won was the Phillies in 2008. 8 straight disappointing years.

Sadly typical verlander gem. Losing 3-2 on a two hitter giving up 2 homers .. Please tell me neither we on pitches in which he was ahead of the hitter ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Yes jv is off the hook !!!!

[biggunsbob]

Crazy game if you bet the under lol

 

[biggunsbob]

What a gag job. Why not play shallower with a runner on second base ? Don't get it. Doubles depth was off after wild pitch. He look real deep to me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Springer 2 run dinger to right center !!!!
7-5 Astros!

 

[biggunsbob]

Another 2 run lead for the Astros going into bottom of the 11th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Culberson makes it 7-6. He acted pretty funny after hitting that. But tying run comes to the plate .

 

[biggunsbob]

0-2 to Puig to 3-2 fouled off 2 pitches . Good at bat.
Astros pen reminds me of another team.

Astros tie series 1-1!!!

I couldn't watch because ATT is in a contract dispute with Fox and we don't get Fox until it's over.

 

[kalinecountry]

Justin allows only 2 hits, but both homeruns,

One of them the pitch was hung and hit out,

The other he made a good pitch the batter just got it,

Homeplate ump was a bit erratic on balls and strikes to both teams,

 

[SpartyNash]

Admittedly hadn’t watched much of them until the playoffs but the Dodgers are an obnoxious bunch. First Pederson hits a homer in the 5th to tie the game and he acts like he hit a walk off homer. Then Culbertson hits a solo shot in the 11th to cut the deficit to 1 and he too acts like he just won the game. I’m all for more passion in baseball but when you act like that in the 5th inning and when losing you come off as childish. Plus Puig is just an annoying douche.

The Astros’ offense finally came through for Justin Verlander.
This game had 8 home runs. This game was crazy.
