Glad I am not a fan of either team, but damn I am ready for bed.
Anybody else watching?

Oh my gosh yes! What an exciting series!
And now onto the 10th. Luckily I'm on West Coast time.

I think this has been one of the better Series that I can recall.

Yes! It’s been a great, and frustrating game! Just when you think it’s over the other team scores. I am rooting for Houston, though I wouldn’t be heartbroken if the Dodgers won.

I can't think of any that were more suspenseful. What a wild ride!
Living in LA, I grew up a Dodger fan. Along the way, we became Angels fans. It's been exciting to see the Astros build their team and earn the AL pennant.
Most everyone around here has Dodger fever. I find myself rooting for whoever is behind at the time.

I don't have a 'team' playing, but am rooting for the Astros. Texas has never won a World Series. But if the Dodgers were playing anyone else outside of Texas, I would be rooting for the Dodgers.

Is that why the men haven't gone to bed yet? Every so often I hear them discussing something. They call it "strategy". It's so cute.

We went to bed in the bottom in the 7th when Houston tied it up. I'm rooting for LA so I was disapppinted when my DH told me the score this morning. Those fans got their monies worth last night, it was an exciting game!!

I am dragging ass today! Loved this by Ken Hoffman, a Houston columnist
“The Astros are what's right about America ...Poor Dodgers ... they weren't beaten by 25 baseball players. They lost to an entire city picking itself up off the canvas. They lost to a tidal wave of emotion, an unstoppable force that would not be denied. They lost to fans who pulled out of their driveways, past all their possessions reduced to debris on their front lawns, and headed to Minute Maid Park to cheer their Astros.
This team doesn't just wear a patch that says "HoustonStrong." They ARE the embodiment of Houston, the most diverse, resilient, boldest city in the U.S. Nowhere will you find a team that looks more like its hometown. Our second baseman is the smallest player in the lineup ... and the best player in the world. How can you root against that guy? Our first baseman is a Cuban defector with hair like the top of a pineapple. Our centerfielder is bi-racial and climbs outfield walls to rob home runs. Our shortstop is from Puerto Rico. He learned how to speak English as a kid because he knew ESPN would want to interview him one day. Our right fielder is a self-described, mullet-wearing "down south redneck" in Captain America underpants. He comes to bat to a recording of wrestler Ric Flair yelling "Wooo!" Ever hear 40,000 baseball fans yelling "Wooo" in return? Our third baseman is a Jew from New Mexico, of all places. Our championship series MVP is the hottest pitcher in the game, the highest-paid player on the team and his fiancée is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl. He's doing all right. Our manager has a degree in psychology from Stanford and needs it. Fearless leader is smart.”
I am from Cleveland & the Indians are "MY" team til I die. However, living in Houston (11 years now), I am cheering them on so hard and this is spot on.

The Red Sox are my team, so of course I'm sad that they're out of it. I was rooting for the Indians (LOVE Tito  ) after that and now I'm cheering Houston on, hoping they win their first title. This has been a crazy series, both teams are fighting for it! |
