So a Braves / Rays would be interesting to probably only me - I'm sure the network is dreading it for viewership numbers. If the Astros go on to win, I would only be happy for one member, Dusty Baker - love that guy as a player and as a coach!

Tippy5 - Your Dodgers are certainly not going away quietly!
The Rays have to be much smarter at the plate - making it way too easy on Astros pitching. If they don't stop trying to go downtown on every pitch, don't start getting some base hits, and most importantly, don't stop swinging at pitches barely in the batters box, much less over the plate - the Astros are going to win this series with four straight victories. I suspect the Rays are going to face a barrage of curve balls tonight - at least until they show that they can actually hit that pitch! It's like the movie "Trouble with the Curve"! Good Luck to your Dodgers

Dru: Yeah, that was an incredible comeback in '04! Unfortunately, it's looking like history may repeat itself if the Rays don't start hitting and Dusty Baker keeps out-coaching Kevin Cash!

Yea, I think you're right about swinging for the fences. Sometimes you have to play small ball, especially if you have a great pitcher on the mound. It's those little things that win series.

NLCS goes to game 7. Can the Dodgers do it?

I have to admit, I'm kinda glad to see the Astros go home.

Yeah, even being a Rays fan - I was pretty much anybody but the Astros after last seasons scandal! The only person on the Astros I would feel good about, had they advanced, is Dusty Baker - a class act!
First time both Championship Series have gone 7 games - Great Stuff!

Another game 7. Great for fans. As has been said many times over the years "Anything can happen in a game 7".
+1, Kirby. The biggest reason for me is that if the Astros had won the World Series, or even made it there, it might minimize the cheating scandal. |
