Verlander put on a show. I have been to a few hockey and football games, it was fun being there but like you I would much rather watch them on tv in spite of the commercials and some of the announcers.

Obviously you have not bought any tickets lately. They will add several fees to the $950 and it will end up well over a grand. But since the Yankees got eliminated the price of the tickets have dropped. You can see the Dodgers and the Astros at Dodger Stadium for $858. And you can see them in Houston for $686, standing room only.Rene T said:

The Dodgers haven't been to the World Series in 28 years and one reason is Kershaw has bit the bullet several times late in the game - at least twice to the Cardinals. He was also out for an extended period this year with back problems. No doubt Clayton is a great pitcher but it takes 9 men to make a team and Verlander can match him everyday. Need I say I am pulling for the Astros.........lolSeilerBird said:
Okay we each see it our own way but I recall Kershaw giving up home runs in the 7th inning on both occasions - then the bullpen got to try and hold it down. The offense didn't score enough runs?....lol Tim McCarver of whom I have a low opinion has a famous saying: The team that scores the most runs usually wins................lolSeilerBird said:
The Astros remind me of the two bulls standing on a hill. The young bull says "lets run down and get us a cow." The old bull says "lets walk down and get ALL the cows."..............lol The Astros are running. The Dodgers need to see if they can put the brakes on them. Hint: The Astros are a team that wins a lot at home and looks bad on the road - sometimes but not this time.. Those guys are hungry.......Good luck.TonyDtorch said:
The Dodgers were winning 2-0 in the 7th when K gives up a 3 run home run. That is not exactly choking, all pitchers give up home runs. But they only scored 2 runs for him, pathetic. The 2013 series he was just left in way too long, and he gave up no home runs. Both times the manager was partially at fault. But he is human, and he is not perfect, but I sure like our chances. It is sad that Kershaw v Verlander won't happen this season.Bill N said:
