NLCS Game 2, Cubs at Dodgers.

[NeilT]

I hate them both.  I honestly don't know why I'm watching, except that I've already read everything on the internet I could find about the Astros.

Bottom of the 2nd, 0-0, 2 outs, Hernandez on first.   

[Mr. Happy]

I hope that the series goes seven games, all of which are 18 inning affairs. I hate both teams too.

[Knoxbanedoodle]

Say what you will about the laconic Joe Buck, this TBS PBP guy is exhausting.

[NeilT]

I hope that the series goes seven games, all of which are 18 inning affairs. I hate both teams too.

That would be a wonderful thing. 

[BlownRanger]

I don't like the Yankees, but I had no problem rooting for them in order to gain home-field advantage.

I am absolutely incapable of rooting for the Cubs.

[NeilT]

I don't like the Yankees, but I had no problem rooting for them in order to gain home-field advantage.

I am absolutely incapable of rooting for the Cubs.

The Cubs seem over-matched.  I'd like them to win tonight though.

[Knoxbanedoodle]

I don’t know who half these Dodgers are.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

As a kid, I HATED the dodgers.

Especially Lasorda.  Renting first place.  He rented clean underwear.

And of course FTC.

[NeilT]

I don’t know who half these Dodgers are.

Aren't they all named Kershaw?

[NeilT]

Addison Russell no-out home run puts the Cubs up by 1 in the top of the 5th. 

[Knoxbanedoodle]

Rich Hill has parentheses around his eyes like Charlie Brown.

Turner looks like he dyes his hair. 

[NeilT]

Cubs tie it on a Turner single in the bottom of the 5th. 

[Aussie Astro]

Aren't they all named Kershaw?

Only the ones not called Puig.

[MikeyBoy]

Maybe if Utley would cutout that weird shit, he would hit the damn ball.

[NeilT]

End of 6, Lester out, some other Cub in.  A Puig strikes out to end the inning.  Still tied, 1-1. 

[Knoxbanedoodle]

This PBP guy, Anderson, he drank all the coffee.

Fields looks like a moonshiner now.

[NeilT]

That e1 was ugly. 

[Aussie Astro]

This PBP guy, Anderson, he drank all the coffee.

Fields looks like a moonshiner now.

Is that BA? He is ok When he has Dwayne there to keep him under control... but yeah, he will go a mile a minute when he gets wound up.

[Knoxbanedoodle]

Brian Anderson, yes. Been wound up the whole night. Ron Darling has mostly given up trying to get a word in.

[astrojo]

Jansen plunks Rizzo on the right hand and Contreras swings at 3 fastballs, none near the zone.

That may have been the worst at-bat I've ever seen.

[astrojo]

And they go to the 9th, tied 1-1.

[astrojo]

And only Puig can grandstand on a 4 pitch walk.

[Astros Fan in Big D]

And only Puig can grandstand on a 4 pitch walk.

And on an uncontested slide into 2nd.

[NeilT]

It's just too bad this isn't the 7th game. 

[Aussie Astro]

And only Puig can grandstand on a 4 pitch walk.

Anyone who says he is a bit of wanker has obviously seen some big uns.

[Bench]

Eh.  I would like to hope for home field advantage but fuck the cubs.

[NeilT]

I'm learning to hate Turner. 

[Astros Fan in Big D]

Turner gives homeless people everywhere inspiration.

[Aussie Astro]

I'm learning to hate Turner.

Is it the gingervitis, you know that is not his fault.

[Ty in Tampa]

Is that BA? He is ok When he has Dwayne there to keep him under control... but yeah, he will go a mile a minute when he gets wound up.

Not the same Brian Anderson. Last night's guy is not an ex-ballplayer...just a broadcasting hack.

[NeilT]

Is it the gingervitis, you know that is not his fault.

It may be, but his complexion isn't far off mine.  I think he's just going to grow on me during the playoffs post[-]season, and not in a good way.

Just for you.

[Limey]

Turner gives homeless people everywhere inspiration.

I'm trying to decide if he's a ginger Tom Hanks in Castaway or a ginger Tom Hanks in Forest Gump.

[Limey]

It may be, but his complexion isn't far off mine.  I think he's just going to grow on me during the playoffs post[-]season, and not in a good way.

Like toe jam?

[NeilT]

Like toe jam?

Like a jammed toe.
