IWST 2019: WSH vs HOU — Two TONs o’ Fun

[Frayed Knot]

Best headline from the game: NATS DING COLE

[Fman99]

Hate Joe Buck, what a bore.

[G-Fafif]

Been watching with sound down, local radio on — Astros last night, Nats tonight. Much more palatable.

[G-Fafif]

2-2 through six. Pretty good Series so far.

[G-Fafif]

3-2 in the 7th on Suzuki's HR not off Diaz but Verlander.

[bmfc1]

The MFYs should be ashamed that they lost to a team as bad as HOU. One more good winning streak or some activity by the GM to help the 'pen, and it would be the Mets about to win the WS, not the scum from Washington (not THAT scum, different scum).

[G-Fafif]

MFYs should be ashamed in general.

[bmfc1]

True.

[G-Fafif]

Astros issue their 1st IBB of 2019 to Soto to load bases for Kendrick.

[bmfc1]

Choking dogs.

[G-Fafif]

And Bregman boot (scored a hit) makes strategy backfire. 4-2 DC.

[G-Fafif]

Asdrubal flashing that 2016 Most Valuable Met form, drives in 2, pushes WSH lead to 4.

[G-Fafif]

8-2. Astronomically awful/Nationally nice.

[Frayed Knot]

Say goodnight Gracie!



btw, 3 hours and not yet thru 6-1/2 innings.

[G-Fafif]

Eaton two-run shot, Nats up, 10-2. Al Hunt high-fives Andrea Mitchell electronically.

[G-Fafif]

Nats up 11-2. Chances Brandon Taubman will harass anybody in a jubilant Astros clubhouse diminishing.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Suck it, Taubman

[MFS62]

Well, so much for the "long layover will hurt them" theory.

Later

[HahnSolo]

I don't know. I'm not counting Houston out yet. Is no one else getting an '86 World Series vibe after these two games?

[TransMonk]

My Twitter feed is mostly DC based journalists and politicos. There are a lot of Nats fans among them and my biggest takeaway is that they are really bad at rooting for playoff baseball.



I had to mute "Nats" and "Nationals" for 30 days.

[Willets Point]

I was exhausted last night and the last time I checked the score before falling asleep, it was 2-2 in the 6th. Waking up in the morning to see that it was not even remotely a close game was a stunner.

[G-Fafif]

Thing Astros said didn't happen they now say happened; they fire Taubman, apologize to Apstein.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Why don't they also fire the numbnuts who investigated, wrote and sent out the first statement. Unless that was also Taubman

[stevejrogers]

Facinating fact, tonight will be the first time you can purchase alcohol at a World Series game in Washington DC. The three WS the old Senators were in were in the middle of Prohibition (1924, 1925, 1933).

[G-Fafif]

First World Series game in Washington since 21.



Juan Soto has just turned 1933.

[Frayed Knot]

Assuming that this game actually ends at some time in the near future (questionable at this point), this series is either going to be essentially over or really just beginning.

So it would be nice if they could get around to the 9th inning prior to sunrise.

[G-Fafif]

The Fall Asleep Classic.

[G-Fafif]

Astros win. It's a Series again.

[Fman99]

Watched two hours of baseball. Got to maybe the 5th or 6th inning. Totally ridiculous. Stop calling time out. Stop stepping off the mound. Play fucking baseball.
