    I can’t help but think that this series should be over (in our favor) multiple times over. We’ve been beating ourselves for too long. Tomorrow has to be stellar.

    This is easily the biggest sporting event of my life, by light years.

    They were both right.

    Give Taylor credit for beating a good pitch.

    very cool. Maybe they can squeeze another six outs from him tomorrow, but here's hoping he's not needed because his team has a 7 run lead.

    The thing about Houston that scares me is how many runs they can score in bunches. Those cockroaches Altuve, Correa, Springer, and Gurriel.....you cannot let up on them. And never walk any of these guys.

    Games 2 and 5 were "in the bag" so to speak, and we didn't stomp on their throats.

    This is now game 7.....don't outsmart yourself and go right at them. Everyone is tired, everyone is hurting. Just got to dig deep and leave no prisoners.

    Was it a blooper? I thought it was a solid hit? A soft hit, but a no doubt hit off the bat... not just a ball that happened to fall in.

    Dearest Corey, Cody, Justin, and Puig...

    Show up tomorrow. Keep your heads on straight and have good ABs. If you get a pitch, don't miss it.

    Darvish...

    Destroy them.

    I don't know how I will survive tomorrow.

    Way bigger.
    The Lakers are a flashy brand and no doubt beloved. But they're not the Dodgers.
    and it's been 29 years.

    Why in the hell is Pedro Gomez giving the Astros bulletin board material about Jansen saying that the Astros have no chance in Game 7. Gomez is trying to start shit.

    God...I am begging for an NLCS type domination by the Dodgers tomorrow.

    But if Darvish looks weak in 1 inning.....fuck it.....go to whomever you can.

    BTW, I can't sleep tonight.....and tomorrow will be completely unproductive at work. I'm fucked. I will need unemployment insurance by Thurs.

    Thank god for home field advantage. No little league stadium. Also, the Astros are lucky we had unusually hot weather in games 1 & 2 because I think the cool nights with a marine mist rolling in really plays to our strength. I am confident as fuck we will be WS champions in less than 24 hours.

    i think you are on the right track but the wrong year
    87 and the magic baby hook was the first time we had ever beaten the smeltics and one of my greatest Laker memories

    and i hope chase utley stays w the Dodgers organization for 30 years
    there is no one that plays this game like he does anymore and our guys have benefitted from his presence in ways you can't measure
    that ab was classic and whether or not he gets a hit in the series it was a key play that lifted us
    he's a tough motherfucker and leads in a low key manner the guys respect
    his career as a player is almost certainly over but its been fun to watch

    Tom Verducci mentioned that the team feels ultra confident and that the Astros don't stand a chance so it's not just Pedro Gomez which made me cringe. I'm never going to underestimate this Astros team nor disrespect them and if they were playing anyone else I'd root for them even Gurriel and I'm Japanese. Having said that IF Justin and Cody and Yu perform as they have up until THIS series we should win if they don't WE'RE DOOMED!

    I'm already nervous lol.

    Agree. Chase is what a professional player should aspire to become even though he is now 0 - 26 in the post season.
