Oddly, all 4 division series winners clinched on the road.
Yes it was great. Could not find a thread about the game so I was not on FR after my post.
Well, this is the thread!
Maybe there will be more interest in the League Championship Series and/or a new thread. Putting “Live Thread” in the title may help, people search for that. I may even start one if no one else does.
Awesome ALCS game, have a real problem with Sanchez BS play, not only “dropping the ball” and failing to tag out Altuve but his BS at bats.
Altuve is the new Charlie Hustle, Pete Rose style.
Verlander insane performance.
All bets off remaining games.
It’s weird seeing Verlander out of that Tiger’s uniform.
Game of his life, he wants it.
He must be staying away from Kate.
LOL, exactly!
We live in Michigan and do like verlander. But if the Cubs make it through we will be all in for them. Home town team for both of us. It’s a nail biter tonight. Good pitching all the way around.
Oy, they walked Puig on 4 pitchs to lead off the bottom of the 9th.
It’s,looking like extra innings until the pitching runs out.
I can’t believe there’s not a thread for these final play off games.
The Astros whooping up on the Yankees, last night, was a thing of glory. Verlander pitching the entire game was amazing.
The Cubs striking at so many Dodger ball pitches, tonight, is downright maddening.
Am I missing something?? Is this the thread?
Guess,it’s just us. Very different from last year. I want the Cubs to win this one so they can put it away at Wrigley.
I would love an Astros/Cubbies World Series.
I would rather,see the face (slam) the yankees
It would be very gratifying to see the Astros win their first World Series Championship by beating the Red Sox, Yankees and Dodger along the way.
Sorry, lifelong Cubs fan here.
That would be awesome!!
Cubbies just lost this game to LA :-(
