Vin handed the ball to Venezuela for the first pitch.  That was really nice.

Dang, the Baby Kindle just took a dump.  Onto ten fingers on the Lenovo with the stylus hanging out my mouth!

What a game!  Be back in a second.  I forgot how to use the Lenovo.

But I can put the Kindle on MLB, which would help with knowing who is at bat, et cetera.  Sheesh!

4th inning.  1-0 Astros!

Be back, I hope!

Three up, three down for the Dodgers. Daring bunt attempt by Dodger pitcher Rich Hill but
to no avail. 1-0, Astros after three.

Waiting for the Lenovo.

What do we say in our division?  "Anybody but the Dodgers!" LOL!

But this is a very special World Series, eh?

I think we all have such fond memories of the Dodgers from earlier in our lives.

The Briefing Room came up on the Lenovo!  Wheee!

A leadoff walk and a steal wasted for the Astros, but Rich Hill is probably finished for the Dodgers
tonight. 1-0, Astros, middle four. Seventh strikeout for Hill, too.

Media is plural for medium.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers got their first baserunner of the night on a leadoff walk but waste
it with a force out and Justin Turner dialing Area Code 6-4-3 to end it. 1-0, Astros after four.
