Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

[Ed Hillel]

Really should be bunting there.

 

[derekson]

hahahahahah

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

What a huge play

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Well, this is suboptimal

That, on the other hand, was not.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Send Gurriel into the tent!

 

[McBride11]

Holy shit infield in works

edit - what was he attempting. He was done.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ouch, his right ankle.

 

[Average Reds]

Smoltz is kind of an annoying dick, but he was 100% right about the safety squeeze.

 

[derekson]

Does Gurriel leaving for injury get Mancini back into it?

 

[aksoxfan]

Cora would have bunted.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Candy Maldonado up, should be out if the inning.

[Ed Hillel]

Just blow a fastball by him

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Failed to score and may have lost one of the few guys in the lineup that is hitting.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Huge

 

[mauidano]

Whew! Getting late early Phil. Need a couple.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Maldonado is the slowest guy in baseball

 

[teddywingman]

Runner on 3rd with no outs. No run.

Feel like I've seen that a bit this season.

 

[E5 Yaz]

So, Philly gets JT and Harper up after Hoskins strikes out, so there's maybe a chance of getting something going

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Might be ahora or nunca for the Phils.

 

[Ale Xander]

Alito?

more reason to hate the Phillies fans

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Samuel Alito? Ugh

 

[Ed Hillel]

Try a bunt to first maybe. He can barely move.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Alito?

more reason to hate the Phillies fans

Because there are no far-right fans of the Astros?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Gotta expand the zone, he's swinging at anything close.

 

[Remagellan]

This ump is on it.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Or not

 

[LogansDad]

Ugh, come on Philly.

 

[E5 Yaz]

So, Philly gets JT and Harper up after Hoskins strikes out, so there's maybe a chance of getting something going

On the plus side, I'm 2-for-2 with this

 

[Bergs]

Alito?

more reason to hate the Phillies fans

No fan base is clean based on this standard.

 

[Remagellan]

They really need to move Harper up in this lineup.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Philly pressing now ... this is over

 

[LogansDad]

Philly pressing now ... this is over

Sure does feel like it.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

This is stupid pitching to Harper in his happy zone...

 

[canderson]

Philly pressing now ... this is over

Last night was the series, really, imo.

 

[Remagellan]

He went

 

[JOBU]

That’s a K.

 

[Ale Xander]

Huge nads on Abreu

 

[shawnrbu]

Harper pops up.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Pretty awful miss by 3b ump. That was obvious live.

 

[aksoxfan]

Too many excellent pitchers on that Houston team.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Abreu is filth. Filth is Abreu.

Idris Elba in that Booking.com commercial, with a beautiful British accent instead of sounding like Stringer Bell, had me thinking it was dubbed as a bit or something. Until I remembered that he's not actually Stringer Bell.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Down 2-1, Astros held the Red Sox to three total runs in taking the final three games in the '21 ALCS. As @Remagellan has been noting, history is repeating

 

[Remagellan]

It's called acting. The Office reruns with him were on recently and it was another reminder that he's pretty good at sounding like an American when it's required.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nice hit and run
Or was that a run and hit?

 

[Ale Xander]

Alvarez seems due

 

[E5 Yaz]

It's called acting.

Yeah, but it reminds me of a pretty good joke Amy Poehler told when she and Tina Fey hosted the Golden Globes

 

[LogansDad]

That was a well executed hit and run.

 

[canderson]

In retrospect I’m glad I couldn’t make it tonight. I pocketed $2300 for my tickets which I kinda feel guilty about but meh. Watching Houston win in person would’ve sucked.
