Game Seven thoughts
If that is the last hit by Andre Ethier as a Dodger (and it should be) that is about as cool a way to go out as you could envision Every fan had to be frustrated that of the three possible starters for game seven the one that was chosen shit the bed, while the …
Game seven disappointments
These don’t have anything to do with the game. You can read that in over twenty other Dodger blogs, this has to do with how Dodger Stadium prepared for game seven. For a game seven, I expected more hoopla than opening day. Didn’t happen. As I was walking onto the stadium grounds I eyed the …
Yu Darvish just Dave Goltz’d the fans
Watching the game unfold last night I was struck with a little bit of deja vu. It was kind of eery how game seven mirrored the last time I had sat at Dodger Stadium in a must-win game against the Houston Astros. It was Oct 6th, 1980 and the Dodgers had just swept the Houston Astros …
You think you were loud last night?
Dodger fans don’t have anything on the 1980 fans who by now are probably sucking on oxygen in a nursing home or annoying their family members because they refuse to die. Josh Wilker over at Cardboard Gods just did a write up on Joe Ferguson and mentions the 1974 World Series throw which is a classic. …
Game Seven will cost you $1500
[Update 11/01/2017] Tickets dropped to 1,000 this morning so I”M GOING TO GAME 7 Since Dodger Stadium has never hosted a game seven before it is no surprise that the price of a ticket has a bottom price of $1500 on seatgeek. Game Six tickets dropped all the way to $400 as I think everyone …
Chavez Ravine gets her closeup
In the grand history of the greatest stadium in baseball history she has never hosted a game seven World Series, but tomorrow she will and the place will be going crazy. I fully expected the Dodgers to win tonight and they did not disappoint. I fully expect Tuesday night to be a 3 – 1 …
We can do it
Eric Stephen penned a pretty depressing historical note on the Dodgers chances to win the World Series. Needing to win both games at home presents a tall task for the Dodgers. In their franchise history, they have trailed a best-of-7 series 3-2 eight times. They forced a Game 7 twice, but lost all eight series. Ignoring …
Throw it out the window
I’d have bet on most of these outcomes becoming true. Dodgers strike early and take a four-run lead in route to winning game five ……throw it out the window Clayton Kershaw staked to a four-run lead cruises to another postseason victory …..throw it out the window Cody Bellinger breaks four / four tie with a three-run blast …
Halloween Horror in Houston
Halloween came early for the Dodgers on Sunday night in Houston with the first five Astro hitters scaring the bejeesus out of the Dodger pitching staff. Not since a game at Coors was I so scared of a group of hitters as I was last night. For three innings it felt safe. Clayton Kershaw had a …
What was that?
As a Dodger fan that was a cruel ending, as a baseball fan I’m pretty sure I just finished watching the most exciting World Series game I’ve ever seen. If you want to read a recap that can bring justice to that game you came to the wrong place. I’d try Joe Posnanski HOUSTON — …
