WORLD SERIES:

LOS ANGELES DODGERS VS. HOUSTON ASTROS

Houston (Lance McCullers Jr., 7-4, 4.25 ERA) at Los Angeles (Yu Darvish, 10-12, 3.86 ERA), 8:00 pm ET, FOX

They are in LA too. I predicted this. Dodgers have it.

WS Game 7: HOU 5, LAD 1

W: Charlie Morton (1-0, 1.74 ERA)

L: Yu Darvish (0-2, 21.60 ERA)

they are actually tied 34 to 34 they should have had extra innings!

Oh boy...where do I begin?

First of all, the Dodgers should have won this series in 5 games, 6 at the most. Never should have lost Game 2 at home, and they shouldnt have lost Game 5 in Houston, when Clayton Kershaw blew a 4-0 lead, then blew a 7-4 lead as well (UN-FRIGGIN-ACCEPTABLE, even for my man crush!). With that being said, the Bums still had an opportunity to win Game 7, AT HOME...but Yu Darvish.... Unbelievable...un fucking believable. I have never seen a major league ball player with absolutely NO HEART. This guy is a joke. Wow...just wow. I knew he would be the key to the series, but I never imagined after the way he pitched down the stretch that he would fail so miserably. Then the fool had the nerve to say he wants to stay with the Dodgers?!?!? Uh...no...hell no! They should have escorted his sorry ass out of the ballpark as soon as he left the mound yesterday. Get the fuck out!!!! I better never see him in a Dodger uniform again!!!!!!

-

And what makes it worse is that even after Darvish's CHOKE JOB, the Bums still had opportunity after opportunity to get right back into Game 7...and they WHIFFED....literally! All night long...slider low and inside, off the plate...we're swinging for the fences, trying to hit a 5 run homer!!! Geez Louise....I will say that going down 5-0 in Game 7 can negatively alter a teams mindset, but still...no excuse. All around choke job.

-

So...congratulations to the Houston Astros. They deserve to be champs, tip of the cap to them and their fans. Feel good story, bringing home the title to a city that has suffered greatly this year. We'll get em next year!!! GO DODGERS!!!!!!

Yu Darvish World Series performance: 2 starts, 3.1 innings pitched, 9 EARNED RUNS, 9 HITS, 0 Ks

George Springer was so damn clutch all through the playoffs...robbing homeruns and smashing homeruns in the ALCS against the Yankees...hitting 5 Homeruns in 7 games against the Dodgers...that was some 1972-1981 Reggie Jackson Mr. October type shit...good for him....i never realized Springer was such a great athlete and all-around baseball player

The only Dodgers games I saw much of were the World Series so pardon my ignorance but Dodgers fans - did Dave Roberts always over-manage like that? He burned through his entire roster at least twice and once, it definitely cost them a game.

He entered extra innings in Game 2 with two pitchers and one bench player left. And then he burned a pitcher in the 10th. Once we got through the 9th inning, I knew we'd win that game. The Dodgers just had nothing left, while we were stocked in the bully and on the bench.

And Game 7?!? He wasted Morrow for one out? And then wasted his best (IMO) bench player, Hernandez, in the second inning? Those decisions were really head-scratchers to me.

I'm hesitant to criticize any manager who makes it to the World Series. Surely they have done a great job. But it sure seemed to me that Roberts made more moves with his bullpen than seemed logical. What do you Dodgers fans think?

More bunts.

They tried one and it backfired on them.

Congrats to Houston. It was a great series. Bring on next season!
