World Series

[Beerbully]

I know the Astros are favored, but I have to root for the Braves. My mom was a huge Braves fan for many, many years. She's gone now, but she would be some happy tonight knowing that Atlanta made the World Series.

GO BRAVES!!

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Boom!

Helluva way to start the series!

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

I have to say that was an outstanding defensive play.

Soler Power

Go BRAVES!

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Free Tacos!!!

 

[Beerbully]

Braves jumpin on that pitcher early.

 

[Mobile Bay]

17 the braves too.

 

[Bill Shankly]

Braves jumpin on that pitcher early.

Need to get him now.

 

[Beerbully]

That was a pretty breaking ball from Morton to get the Astros leadoff hitter.

Whew! Left 'em loaded...

3-0 Braves now in the third.

 

[RocketDawg]

The announcers said it was the first time in World Series history that the leadoff batter has hit a home run. That's a little surprising.

 

[Beerbully]

Wasn't that on his first swing, too?

Valdez channeling his inner Kumar Rocker

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I don't know a single damned player on the Braves team but I loving this!!! Valdez knocked out as I typed this!

17 the Astros! You don't cheat like they do in baseball. Everyone cheats some but they are habitual cheeters.

 

[Beerbully]

BOOM! 5-0 Braves!

First WS team to score in each of the first three innings.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

In game 1. I was surprised too.

 

[Ralph Cramden]

Chop on

 

[MS-halfstep]

Been all over Valdez since the first AB.

My favorite movie

 

[Beerbully]

Wow, looks like Morton was injured by that drive that bounced off his lower leg. Hope he can pitch again in the series, but next man up!

 

[RocketDawg]

I was trying to remember, but I think it was the first swing. The local Fox station is squabbling with Dish, so I'm having to get it over the air, which means I couldn't back up and check.

 

[RocketDawg]

I don't know any of them either. Used to follow the Braves closely but just got out of the habit. I must still expect to see Dale Murphy in center field when I turn a game on.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Costly error. That could've ended the inning

 

[PineGroveBully]

Morton with a fractured fibula, baseball has the oddest injuries but I’ve never seen that

Charlie is out. Broken leg.

Braves can't win 4 without him IMO.

Hail Cheaters. Astros in 6.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Good to win, but sucks to lose Morton

3rd pitch, 1st actual swing

Astros missing their most effective starter. Do you really think the Astros are in a better position with the braves throwing their ace tonight against a much lesser pitcher? Obviously anything can happen in baseball, but I wouldn't trade positions with the Astros

This isn’t the Astros with that All Star rotation of 4-5 years ago. Greinke is their only name pitcher and he has been terrible. Braves are pitching their ace tonight vs a guy who has pitched once in the postseason. Barring a collapse from Fried, the Braves could be up 2-0 going home for 3. With or without the DH, this Braves lineup is much deeper 1-9. This very easily could be Braves in 5 or a sweep.

All 9 Braves starters with a hit last night. I'm going out on a limb and saying that's a good omen.

 

[Beerbully]

GAME 2 - Hope the Braves can steal another one from the slightly favored (and much more infamous) Astros.

 

[MS-halfstep]

Need a strong outing from Fried tonight

 

[Beerbully]

Didn't realize it has been 16 years since the roof was open for a playoff game at Minute Maid. And the Astros are 0-4 in those situations.

 

[Beerbully]

BOOM! D'Arnaud got a-hold of that one. 1-1 in the 2nd.
