    I like our chances with our great pitchers the next two games. Both should go the distance. We need our offense to come alive. I’m not impressed with the Dodgers line-up.

    Lamest scapegoat I've ever heard. Can you imagine if the manager and players actually looked at things this way?

    Stros will come back and wreck **** up tonight after a trash game. Yuligate was not the reason for not sweeping at home lol.

    It's not a matter of them looking at things that way or not. It's what they are faced with. They have to live down what he did, its going to be on their minds the rest of the series. A huge unnecessary distraction. And yes it's more than eneough to cause them to lose what already was a close series. And don't fogret LA now has extra motivaiton to beat Astros now.

    Yep. The gurriel thing looms large. As soon as i saw the report after game 3 i knew it would kill us. I was hoping it didn't but it has. Hinch always kills us so him being a dumb mother****er should not be anything new to us. Gurriel and Hinch together crushed our hopes and dreams. Hopefully they win tonight. I doubt it though. I cannot believe hinch put giles in.

    We have beat kershaw before. Keuchel has to play a great game and we need to score a few runs

    I wasn't wearing my navy blue underwear yesterday, and that had the same impact on the Astros losing as what Gurriel did.

    Look at those bags under Verlander's eyes. You can tell he hasn't gotten any sleep from the Gurriel controversy.

    Yuli told Hinch to put our worst reliever in a tie game in the 9th.

    lmao at fans who think they know what's on the collective "minds" of the team. You should get your head shoved in a toilet for saying stuff like that.

    Extra motivation to win the World Series? Ok. Good grief I hope nobody on either of these teams needs extra motivation at this point.

    Nobody cares about the Gurriel thing because they aren’t p*****s. If for some reason they were bothered by it (they aren’t) than you should be blaming them for being unbelievable p*****s. But they aren’t, except for Giles. That guy sucks.

    So in your mind, prior to the incident it was:

    Dodgers: "hey, we'd kinda like to win the World Series, but no biggie either way."

    After:

    Dodgers: "Gotta show Gurriel. Now we REALLY want to win the World Series!"

    ?

    How about our batters need to actually get hits.
