Homerun or bust never wins a world series.

Homerun or bust never wins a world series. They held them to 2 runs thru 8. Gotta score some too.

Chapman was absolutely hosed on that 1-2 slider He'd had a wide strike zone all night. Still though they had to find a way to get him out or just walk the guy. Don't give in with a juicy one down the power zone.

That sucked. But rays were the better team all year, they earned it. Can't say same of astros previous seasons. Sucks not to be playing though. NY sports pretty much D.O.A. right now.

I'm actually angry about this shit. I haven't been mad about sports in a while. These home run or bust hitters absolutely blew it when it counted the most. Luke Voit probably won't be guaranteeing victory again.

I also don't know what Boone was thinking putting in Mike Ford to PH.

Home runs are to baseball as three pointers are to the NBA.
They may be ruining the game but they are the reality these days.

At least Tampa knows how to manufacture runs. The home run isn't what they're primarily known for. Timely hitting and stellar pitching is what they are known for. They basically beat the Yankees at their own game.

But it is what it is.

That was a very frustrating way to lose a series. As disappointed as I am, I'll be rooting like hell for the Rays to take out the cheaters!!

Please, Gerrit... Please be able to pitch LIGHTS OUT on three days rest!!! This game tomorrow is exactly why we paid him. I am not going to sleep well tonight because this game is all that I will think about I should've pleaded to the Yankee hitters instead.

How bad is it to be an Atlanta sports fan? To be so close to a championship, only to choke it away in absolute dramatic fashion.

As much as I dislike their fans, the Dodgers have a great squad. Boston basically giftwrapped them the best team in baseball title by trading Mookie Betts to them.

I still can't believe Boston gave up a generational talent like Betts. No matter what they got in return. Babe Ruth part 2. Except its the Dodgers instead of the Yankees.
