Once again, the Phillies bullpen let us down.

That is the biggest issue they have.

Congrats on the no hitter Strohs.

LOL... The Phils got ZERO HITS. How could that be a bullpen problem?

That was a great punch back by the Stros last night. Great series so far.

Stros need to win tonight then finish it in front of the home crowd.

Hope the First Lady comes back to the stadium she was good luck.

Was at the Texans game with work, but we were all watching the Stros. What a save.

Heard the 8th & 9th on the local AM station.

Astros lead 3-2 and Verlander picked up his first World Series win

WHAT A GAME!!!! Strohs win!!! Best game of the Series so far, imho.

I am happy for Dusty and Begman. Verlander has no class.

For a while there I thought Houston was going to own both the Phillies and Eagles this evening.

Pretty incredible week for Philly Sports Fans. World Series, Eagles undefeated, Union (soccer) is in the MLS Cup Finals. The Flyers & 76ers need to stop slacking!

Texans game was tight for a bit, but the Eagles pulled it out after the half.

Hat tip Verlander - A class act who showed up when it counted.

The one real gem of a pickup for the Stros was the kid Pena.
What a performer for a rookie.
He is going to make some real money and deserves it.
Hopefully it won't go to his head like a lot of them and he continues to shine.

I have to admit, you Houston guys are just outplaying us.

That Astros pitcher was good, I remarked to my FIL that he seemed to be throwing pitches that the Phillies could only hit up as easily caught pop fly balls and not home runs and his reply was “he’s not the Cy Young Award winner for nothing”

I sadly think this will end now with the Astros winning.

Philly has been beating the odds all year, not over. Don't discount the city of Houston's sports inferiority complex, playing at home could work against them.

Disclaimer: No dog in this fight, I like both teams.

Well, at least you still have the Iggles.

Houston is my team, I hope they end it tomorrow. But I have gained great respect for Schwarber, that dude can play some ball. Glad it was between the Astros and Phillies, and joe buck is absent from the booth.

Yeah, there isn't much suspense left in the series. It was a nice surprise for this Philly fan and I got to watch some exciting moments. If the Miracle on Ice team had to play a best of seven they may have won two on grit, but superior talent would have been too much for them. We are seeing that now.

Very cool and unique picture from Thursday's game:

Bohm wasn't trolling Altuve grabbing his chest either after the top of the 9th. Someone threw a ball that hit him.

Is it me or have both teams been taking pitchers deep into the count this series?

My wife and i were blessed enough to be in a position for a half-season of Padres tickets this yer to include all home post season games.

She had a crash course in baseball and we saw some awesome moments, plays, and homeruns (to include the BOMB to right field by the Phillies in the NLCS by Schwarber.

The most memorable game, that first post-season game against the Dodgers. Petco was simply electric with excitement and i am personally convinced that set the Dodgers on their heels.

I am rooting for the underdog this World Series.
