    Series over. What a chance wasted. Still sick.

    heartbreaking. I don't even have the care to nitpick or analyze, all that matters is a loss. We have the pitching advantage in games 3 and 4 but they have home field. This one sucked and Friday is so far away.

    Going into this game I don't think anyone would be surprised a tied series going against Verlander. We have Yu going Friday and Kersh on Sunday. I like our chances.

    Such a horrible feeling. There are so many ways to lose a baseball game, but to lose a World Series game that you thought you had won is so fucking painful.

    Sports are like being in a relationship with an abusive partner. You know they are bad for you, but you keep coming back

    Well this is like coming home from a shitty day at work and seeing the whole neighborhood run train on your GF.

    yup, thats where I'm at. We're not gonna win this series if McCarthy/Fields are deciding games. When it gets to that point, we've lost.

    The lows are not worth the highs. Or the other way around. Whatever. October sucks

    Sometimes you gotta ignore the numbers and go with your gut. Victory is a fickle bkitch.

    No way, IMO. Tons of righties coming up, and you expect Maeda/Watson/Brandon/Jansen to be able to get you 5 innings. We had Maeda/Watson/Brandon get us 3 of those 5, and then Brandon/Jansen fucked up.

    McCarthy better not be on the opening day roster next year, that is all I need to say about that.

    He should be dropped off the roster before the plane leaves. I'm dead serious about this one. He has been nothing but an embarrassment to this organization. He's an absolute train wreck and a thief

    So many mistakes by Dave today.
    The last one was saving Wood your 4th pitcher when this game was tied.
    Twice.
    You could have started Maeda the 4th game or gone with Kershaw on short rest.
    Its not like he has pitched a ton of innings.

    Fuck!

    Houston is a great home team and has insane momentum. Not to mention, we have Alex Wood starting game 4. It's likely....and I hate to admit it

    The RBI single wasn't even bad, Correa just put the bat on the ball and it found a hole. The HR to Gonzalez was bad. He had him 0-2 and got cocky, he needed to bury a slider under the knees first before doing whatever the fuck that was.

    Kenley Jansen blew 1 save all year. A game vs the Atlanta Braves that we won.

    I have high expectations for him and it's so disheartening that he waited to blow his 2nd save vs the bottom of the Houston order in game 2 of the World Series at home. The worst part about it is he had the guy at 0-2.

    So many bad things that it's pointless to analyze. Everything they did sucked

    So?
    We have Yu tomorrow and then after Wood its Kershaw time.
    Of the next 3 games I am confident we should go 2-1.
    That would have us up 3-2.
    Then its up to Hill and Yu with Wood and Kershaw in relief.
