With a leadoff runner on and one out, D.J. LeMahieu sends a two-run homer into the right field seats and we are tied at four all, top of the ninth!

And that deserves a "Hot diggity Damn!"   

Most fitting way possible to end it IMHO.

Was he ever on time---even if it was a slider!

@EasyAce

The three evening hosts on MLB are freaking out over Chapman throwing slider after slider after slider...to the point he had no feeling for his fastball.

The 2-1 pitch that Altuve hit against the concrete was the SAME exact pitch that he saw for Strike One.

Astros vs. Nats in the World Series -- should be a lot of fun. 

Not sure who to root for.  I'd be happy to see the Astros take it all so Gerrit Cole can thumb his nose at the Pirates who dumped him (not that he would -- seems too classy a guy).  But I have family in the DC area who are Nats fan and I think this is the team's first World Series, so the Nats winning the Series would be cool.

But...congratulations and best of luck to both teams.

Blood pressure was up about 20 points tonight.   These kind of games do that.

Altuve provided us a clearly iconic Houston playoff moment.

@Applewood

There's too much to love about both teams.

But---the Astros' last World Series triumph was a mere two years ago. And they're not about to surrender their ownership of the American League West any time soon.

Washington hasn't had a baseball team win a World Series since Rhapsody in Blue, Mercedes-Benz, and Sarah Vaughan were born; Franz Kafka, Giacomo Puccini, and Woodrow Wilson died; Hitler got five years for the beer hall putsch; J. Edgar Hoover was named to run the FBI; Native Americans were finally given full American citizenship; and, Macy*s held its first Thanksgiving Day parade.

And Washington needs (desperately?) something other than the continuing clanking, stanking, and skanking of the nation's largest organised crime family to think about and celebrate.

@DCPatriot
Chapman threw nineteen pitches in the bottom of the ninth and eleven of them were sliders. Exactly why Gary Sanchez behind the plate called for that many sliders escapes, especially working with a guy who can throw ten lamb chops past the proverbial wolf. Even if this series exposed Sanchez as a bigger liability than benefit to the Yankees behind the plate overall, that's almost inexcusable.

After the way the Yankees fans treated that poor Astros pitcher, I’m abashed to be a Yankees fan. So congrats to Texas.

"Almost" ?

Also, doesn't Sanchez check with Boone on calling pitches, or is he THAT much of a 'veteran'?

You'd think a catcher with four major league seasons (I'm not counting his two-game cameo in 2015) would be a veteran of sorts, and Aaron Boone did talk a lot this postseason about his faith in Sanchez no matter how he was struggling. If Sanchez called the game on his own, he has a lot to answer for over the ninth. If he didn't, Boone has a lot to answer for.

Which is a terrible way to end a season in which Boone looked brilliant for guiding the Yankees this year no matter how often he had to look around and see yet another Yankee heading for medical attention and a spell on the injured list.
