Re: 2017 World Series
I went to HS in Houston, so I'm with the Astros all the way. Dodgers were 98-0 in games where they led in the 9th inning -- until last night.
LA fans are a bunch of wussy celebs who arrive in the 3rd and leave in the 7th. They didn't even sell out last night.

You're in the SLC area, right? The winter inversions there are as bad as anything you'll see in LA.Jjoey52 wrote:GannonFan wrote:

On the other side of the mountain, not nearly a bad as SL Valley. We get a little in Logan, but it pales in comparison.

Unfortunately a lot of those fucks have been migrating south over the years. In another decade or 2 SD will be a cesspool on par with LA. SD gets worse and worse every time I go down there to visit fam.GannonFan wrote:Like what, drive south to San Diego?Chizzang wrote:

And have you not been to Missoula since the paper mill closed down?

I read in one of those buzz feed things that Missoula was one of the top 10 places in the world for difficulty driving in.

Re: 2017 World Series
The mill didn't put out smog. It was steam. That is why during hot days you barely saw anything coming out of the stacks.Grizalltheway wrote:You seemed to imply that there wasn't smog at all anymore...Chizzang wrote:

Man. Sounds like you guys need to vacation in New Jersey to get some fresh air. They have mountains!

Re: 2017 World Series
We get to see if this holds up now after Kershaw couldn't hold two separate 3 run leads in Game 5. Could Verlander put this away in Game 6? Astros will need to prove they can hit outside of their home park.GannonFan wrote:And? Isn't Kershaw's ERA pretty north of 4.00 this post-season?

Re: 2017 World Series
I got lucky watching last night. Turned it on in the bottom of the 4th to see the Astros tie it up and watched through the 5th. Changed channels and didn't come back until the start of the bottom of the 7th. Fell asleep and woke up in time to see the bottom of the 10th. So I watched 2.5 innings and saw 15 runs including the walk off.

Kershaw is starting to look like the Peyton Manning of the MLB...
The greatest regular season pitcher of all time

Somewhat, last night he cratered but in 9 previous starts he was good and went 8-1.Chizzang wrote:GannonFan wrote:

Re: 2017 World Series
Huh? Are you talking about his last 9 post-season starts or are you talking about regular season starts. As great as he is, he has a 4.34 ERA this postseason (3-0 with 2 no decisions) and last year he was a 4.44 ERA. He's 7-7 lifetime in the playoffs with 8 no decisions and a lifetime playoff ERA of 4.50. He's not be terrible in the playoffs, but he has been far from great.Jjoey52 wrote:Somewhat, last night he cratered but in 9 previous starts he was good and went 8-1.Chizzang wrote:
