World Series Game 1 Thread

Atlanta @ Houston in a best of seven series. By finishing off the NLCS in 6 the Braves saved Charlie Morton for the mound tonight instead of a Game 7 on Sunday, meanwhile the Astros counter with the groundball magic of the Framber. May the least-worst team win…

Nice to have honesty and transparency out of an organization. Angels would have announced a bruise and day-to-day

They can’t afford to play games. They need the roster spot.

Good god. Gurriel purposely broke Morton’s fucking leg. Damn the Astros already!

Dusty will look genius if he can get 4 innings out of Odorizzi.

Oh no. Was hoping Atlanta could preserve their pen a bit tonight.

I haven’t been paying attention. Did Morton break his arm?

Game 6 in 2002 was the game I took my Dad to in order to thank him for all of the games he took me to. Afterwards I told him he owes me one 🤣 More fanatic energy at that game than in all the regular season games he took me to in the 70s and 80s combined.

Nice inning from Morton. Looked a lot sharper even with a couple of well struck balls.

As cheap and petty as everyone makes Arte out to be – at least he did ok on the stadium name – rolled that shit back almost immediately IIRC. Left some cash on the table there. How many dumbass names has Oakland Coliseum had? McAfee Network Associates. Who knows what the hell it’s called now? 😂

Great start score wise but at this pace the game will take 9 hours.
