Fast forward to Saturday - game 7. Best game of ANY sport. Nothing like a game 7. Houston Astros had the edge, Morton and McCullers. Oh, and how about that defense? Won and done......

Hey ole buddy (who've I never actually met
) I'm guilty of copying game 7 on the DVR and going back to the home run in the 4th and the whole bottom of the 5th, then the post game celebrations.
To the Dodger series, I'm going to think out of the box and have Verlander start game 3 at home, with either Morton, McCullers, or McHugh pitching in game 2 at LA. I think McHugh has some good innings left, and he sure looked good at Yankee Stadium getting outs after the other relievers got bombed.
Also, we need a quality left handed long relief pitcher as our current left handers have a lot to be desired.
