Having great starting pitching in short series, whether it's 3, or if 5 or WTA single, is darn valuable.

He's ridiculous. AL Triple Crown --- first in the AL since Verlander in 2011, 3rd since Pedro did it in '99.
I don't have really strong NL preferences. I dislike Atlanta because of the way they cheer, and I guess I like the Padres and the Brewers. I've moved to California, and I'm right on the Giants/Dodgers line. I played tennis with some Dodgers fans for years, and I have a complicated relationship with them. I'd be happy for people I know if they won, and I delight in their continued futility. They have the curse of trying to get a second inning out of Joe Kelly in the World Series, I think, and I love it.
First world problems and all but I'm kind of pissed I can't get the split screen for the two games on YTTV.
Just as Valdez tends to do with the Red Sox, one of the reasons why he reminds me of Cuellar. Both lefthanded junk ballers, good curves, sliders, both came up with the Astros. Cuellar had the aforementioned screwball, and when he he got his soft curve over, he was unhittable. Really, really, underrated.
The fact that that ball was a single proves that baseball is governed by the vicissitudes of a probabilistic universe.
AL: any team but the Yanks or Astros...Detroit would be a great story.
NL: Padres, I could live with the Dodgers, just to see more Ohtani.

I think the line is actually in the Diablo Canyon nuke plant, where the southern turbine and associated plumbing are painted blue and the northern, orange. Most places it's not so clear as that.
Yeah it is. I got lucky in the late nineties with an IT job and moved here from Portland, OR. I grew up in Westwood, but preppy.
This game should have been at 1 (Astros can't sell tickets anyway) so we don't have to miss any of Royals Balt
Whenever I see a close up that RF foul pole it gives me a warm feeling about Howie Kendrick and Game 7 of the 2019 WS.
I saw the misplay and thought "he's gonna get three" but then they cut to the runner, lumbering around first...
