West Coast - Centric Series. Gotta love those 5:00 start times. "The West is the best. Play ball and we'll do the rest."
 
Somebody just jumped in the bullpen after Altuve hit a homer. Well. Never seen that before.
 
That Vin Scully first pitch was fucking awesome.

I'm not even a Dodgers fan... I would literally listen to Dodger games, though, just so I could listen to my friend Vin.
 
Gonna be damn near impossible for LA to come back from another two run deficit...

Well I watched it from start to finish but the one thing about baseball is you can switch over to other games and not miss much.....
(Between innings.... between pitches.....between pitching changes....)

Great game!

Also I hate the Dodgers, but that first pitch with Vin Scully, Steve Yeager and Fernando Valenzuela was fucking awesome.

That was classic. And that was a classic game. I normally hate L.A., but Dodgers are my team. My dad is from La Habra and I grew up rooting for them. I know that you're behind Houston and there is nothing wrong with that. Altuve is probably my favorite player to watch. He makes short guys like me look great. This will be a great series. I'm just really curious how L.A. adjusts in game 3 with a DH.
 
Go Astros
 
In this year World Series, we see a domination from the United States, with both finalist being american.

The term World Series had nothing to do with haughty American attitudes. I realize that is hard for people to believe but if anything it was manufactured sportswriter's brainstorm by a bunch of cigar chomping businessman. Around the turn of the century, when the idea of the World Series came about, baseball was played in cornfields and coal camps with dry cowturds for bases. That isn't something you can use to sell sportswear.
Albert Spalding, the owner of Spalding Sports Goods had a brain storm that they needed to sell the game to cosmopolitan dandies. Put baseball on the same playing field as cricket. Take barn storming tours of England and Egypt. The Sporting News would even astroturf news of fake exhibitions of baseball that never happened. The goal was to sell shiny new baseballs and gloves to new markets. That soon became the mindset of everybody who ran baseball. Though it failed miserably.... yet the name stuck.
Now over 100 years later, baseball is actually in places other the US. It rankles the international community that MLB has the nerve to give a spinoff of rounders and cricket an international moniker to a domestic league. "They should change it!" But it's as brand name now as recognizable as the Jerry West logo. But the idea behind it wasn't " Oh. We are Americans. We do it better than anyone." It was more like, "Frankie, I got a great name. The World Series, that'll sell a few tickets, hunh! I mean one say baseball really will be played around the world."
This is a Guilded Age Fantasy.....

I hope it goes 7 games.

I also hope that Brian McCann tries to hit against the shift. Because, you know, that would be funny.
 
I hate say it, but Dodgers are my team. My dad grew up there and since there is no Portland team, the fandom has been passed on.
