I suppose I might have given Fenway a bigger sendoff because it is entirely possible the Red Sox will celebrate on the road unless the Dodgers get busy. If they notch a Split the Red Sox will return home no worse than 3 – 2. If the Dodgers Sweep they can achieve no more that a 3 – 2 lead heading back to Bean Town. They must get 2 of 3 or they’re done.
The Sox look like the Sox and the Dodgers are not the team that took the ‘Stros to 7.
The Traitors of Chavez Ravine send Walker Buehler (R, 8 – 5, 2.62 ERA) to the mound. He’s basically a Rookie (8 games and 9.1 total Innings in 2017). So far in the post-Season he’s appeared in 3 games losing 1. He’s given up 10 Runs on 24 Hits with 3 Home Runs and 4 Walks for an ERA of 5.40 in 16.2 Innings. He throws Fastballs, Curves, and Cutters.
Sox will start Rick Porcello (R, 17 – 7, 4.28 ERA). He’s had 4 appearences in this year’s Playoffs, winning 1. He’s allowed 5 Runs on 12 Hits with 2 Home Runs and 1 Walk over 10.2 Innings for an ERA of 4.22. He throws Fastballs and Sliders mostly with Curves and Cutters for variety.
Sox could get all they need tonight, down 3 – 0 is not a position you want to be playing from.

Clean shaven when the game started.

They started at 8. It’s now 10:30 and they’re in the Bottom of the 7th. That’s only 2 and a half hours.
And it’s a World Series game which run slower because people are thinking “WE GOTTA WIN” instead of “Well, it’s a 162 game Season.”
BASEBALL IS NOT BORING!
Ok, sometimes when your team is behind in a Pitcher’s Duel, but other people think that’s the most exciting thing there is.
Try Football. 90+ minutes of pointless running for a scoreless tie.

I shouldn’t pick on baseball so much. Just because you could watch a full double header in the time it takes for a typical dmv visit.

So not true. Last time I renewed my license I was in at 9 and out by 5. You could play 36 with a few rounds at the 19th Hole in that time.

You know, it’s only Midnight in LA but it’s 3 am here and I have things to do and places to be. I’m getting horizontal while the getting is good.
