Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 And Houston's Mighty Midget, Jose Altuve, slugs a 3 run homer in the top of the 9th inning to give Houston a 4-2 win and send the series back to Houston, leading 3 games to 2..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted October 21, 2023 Report Share Posted October 21, 2023 Cubs should have never let Schwarbs go. I'll always have that stuck in my craw. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Schwarber has passed Reggie Jackson for most HRs by a lefty. will he have a candy bar named after him?? 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 From ESPN this morning... "Schwarber is just the fifth player to reach 20 career postseason home runs. He got there in 63 games, the fastest in history." 😮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 The most compelling World Series for me would be the Astros vs, Phillies. I'll root for the D-Backs tonight, just to get a Game 7 in the NLCS. But, man an Astros/Phillies Fall Classic would be must-watch television.

IUFLA Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 We had trouble getting the horses in the barn tonight. Wild pigs have been around scaring them... Finally got them in the barn at 8:30... Decided to just grab something from the Chili's down the road... Sat in the bar section and there were longer faces in there 🐴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen a really good team perform so poorly at home. In any sport. It baffles my mind how and why this happens. Peña and Tucker shut themselves down for postseason play. Starting pitching was iffy at best. Ah well. I certainly won’t take away from Texas either. They can put up runs faster than any other team. There’s always next year!

5fouls Posted October 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hoping for a more dramatic Game 7 tonight than we got last night.

Didn't even know half the players in the D-Back lineup. Realmuto hit for cycle, but D-Backs won the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 Probably not the World Series matchup MLB was hoping for. Ratings will probably reflect that as well. But, baseball in October has a way of being compelling. A new star could very well emerge during the series. Heck, @Naturalhoosiermay have already received the Amazon delivery for that new Adolis Garcia jersey he purchased. Need a Game 7 though. If this is a 4-5 game series.....blech. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just think if the Cubs didn't crumble down the stretch the Diamondbacks aren't even in the playoffs. Now a team with a ton of mo is 4 wins away from a title when they only finished 6 games above .500 in regular season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
