Three up, three down for the Astros, top of the first.

Corey Seager back at shortstop for the Dodgers. Curtis Granderson off the World Series roster.

No score, middle one . . .

Chris Taylor swings on Dallas Keuchel's first pitch, deep to left, going, going, going, it is gone,
goodbye! 1-0 Dodgers on the first pitch of the bottom of the first . . .

I am calling it...Dodgers win! I do not like Dodgers.. Why didn't Vin Scully toss out the first ball?

A strikeout and two ground outs retire the Dodgers but it's 1-0 after one inning . . .

Trivia: Only three players on either roster have appeared in a World Series
before---Justin Verlander, Carlos Beltran, and Chase Utley.

The Dodgers waste a leadoff single when Corey Seager dials Area Code 5-4-3;
1-0, Dodgers after two.

Maybe I should keep the Electrolux as a backup plan in case my bum ever gets too wide to balance on the broomstick.

Think of your tulips in the spring!

Second double play turned by the Astros!

Is this going to be a defense vs. offense type game?

EasyAce · « **Reply #28 on:** Tuesday, Oct 24, 2017 04:58 pm »

Chris Taylor lines into an inning-ending double play, the Dodgers' turn to waste
a leadoff hit. Third straight leadoff hit for the Dodgers in the game.

1-0, Dodgers after three.

Trivia: Taylor is only the fourth man in World Series history to hit a home run to
open his team's batting in the first inning. The others: Don Buford, Dustin Pedroia,
Alcides Escobar.

It could. Both teams have gazelles in the infield and acrobats in the outfield.

EasyAce · « **Reply #31 on:** Tuesday, Oct 24, 2017 05:00 pm »

The only Astro with three or more at-bats against Clayton Kershaw prior to tonight:
Jose Altuve.

Me, either!

Game tied!

EasyAce · « **Reply #33 on:** Tuesday, Oct 24, 2017 05:00 pm »

Well hit to left, going, going, going, it is gone, goodbye! Alex Bregman tied the game leading
off the top of the fourth.

Showed Kershaw's face after the home run. It had to have hurt.

EasyAce · « **Reply #40 on:** Tuesday, Oct 24, 2017 05:05 pm »

After the Bregman bomb Kershaw strikes out the side again. The homer didn't
hurt him that much . . .
1-1 tie, middle four . . .
