    So who comes out of the pen if Lance gets through 6? Keuchel and Verlander?

    Lance. Unless he's thrown 120 pitches or is otherwise gassed or clearly ineffective.

    I'm getting seriously fed up with that damned early hook. That Morton G4 hook was horrid.

    Hooks in the NL ballpark are now more based on when the pitcher is batting and what the score is at that time.

    Actually, you'd be surprised to learn home teams in game 7s of World Series have a losing record over time (18-19), though before last year's world series the home team had won 9 out of the last 10 game 7s (recency bias at work).

    The back to back Rockets championships freed most of us from any kind of burden, there is no pain and suffering, no misery, saved marriages, made us content to live out our lives in peace and stability, but your kids Marty, something has to done about your kids.

    I’m not in love with the idea of Keuchel out of the pen. At least not as one of the first few options. McCullers, Morton, and Peacock should be the guys tonight. If Verlander feels good, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to get the last 3 outs.

    I'm still having nightmares about that Royals series. Plus Keuchel hasn't exactly been great in this series.

    So many good feels if we win. I want that for all of us.

    Either way I may need to take a break from sports for a bit. I’ve barely paid attention to the Rockets and I can’t get myself to be that interested in them.

    You guys are too hard on Giles man. I'll take Giles over freaking Keuchel.

    First game 7 between 2 100-win teams since 1931. Even if I weren't so emotionally invested in this series, this shapes up to be an awesome game and this will go down as one of the best World Series of all time. People are going to talk about the Astros/Dodgers series for as long as this game goes on.

    Win or lose tonight, this has been the best season ever. Finally didnt let the Rangers own us, beat Boston and New York in the freakin playoffs! Proud of this team no matter what.

    ESPN is so damn annoying man.

    "Will there be a Hollywood ending tonight for the Dodgers?"

    Damn, really? Astros are just an obstacle for the Dodgers to get past. The least they could do was go "Or, will Houston remain Strong and pull through for its city?"

    I have a tremendous amount of respect for this odgers team. If we win this World Series, we truly accomplished something great. Games 1, 4 & 6 proves just how difficult this task has been.

    Blew too many opportunities, knew the game was lost when we couldn't convert when we had that golden opportunity in the 5th. Can't go 0 for 6 with RISP and expect to win.

    Dodgers will get at least 4 of 5 runs tomorrow. Our offense has to be miles better.
