    Stanek warmed up in the 2nd when Verlander was in trouble. Could be the reason

    Let us rejoice, for I have sacrificed another night of watching the game with my only son in exchange for a win! I have seen the vision in the flames! May I continue to feed the baseball god and that his cup runneth over. IT WORKED AGAIN!!!!

    The most important question tonight is did the Texans win?

    Gotta give credit to Philly, they've shown plenty of fight and scrap throughout this series. Winning one of the next two is by no means a given, we're really gonna need maximum effort at MMP to clinch this.

    I guess he’s just the lowest guy on the list other than Will Smith. That makes some amount of sense in isolation, but in the game situations I don’t know.

    Glad Dusty didn’t put Dubon in as a “defensive replacement”

    No commentator or analyst wants to admit it, but a loud stadium doesnt affect the game much. Makes it more fun though.

    It wasn’t pretty but 5 innings only giving up 1 run was big.

    JV just said Yuli had a “knee injury” - so there’s that - hopefully he can play Sat

    McCormick was in a slump, too, but nothing like Mancini. They were clutch.

    We had some superb plays in this game. The one by Peña was otherworldly, Mancini’s was a “bang-bang” play at first that was far more difficult than it might have looked to a casual fan, and then McCormick’s leaping catch at the wall! I really began to think we just might pull off the win when he did that. Pressly shut the door on the Phillies and we go to Houston up 3-2.

    Fantastic.
