Throwing the ball back has always been stupid. I don't know what the meatheads think they're proving. RPM's friend deserved a smack to the face.
No way, the baseball gods would have given the game to the Dodgers if he hadn't acted. He is the true MVP.
The roller coaster through twitter of Game 5.

What makes it even more funny is that the ball boy gets the ball after it's thrown back, then everyone near him in the field seats holds up their hands as he throws the ball over to them right after they just yelled for the person to throw it back.ChiliBeans said:

That ball had to be thrown back to appease the baseball gods. If the Dodgers would have won, as an Astros fan would you really want the ball that crushed an entire city. It would be cursed and bring pain to whoever possessed it.
So...its the 7th or 8th inning and the Astros have the lead in game 6 and Verlander is laboring.
Do you....
A) Go with your struggling bullpen, knowing that you have McCullers on full rest, with Morton behind him on 3 days rest for game 7
B) Try to close out the series with McCullers on 3 days rest as he did in Game 7 of the ALCS knowing that it means your starter for Game 7 is Morton on 3 days rest (unlike full rest as he did in Game 7 of the ALCS) and McCullers unavailable

- How big of a lead?
- What part of the Dodgers' order?
- Number of outs?
- Base runners?
- Hitter?
I think we can just mark you down for "It depends" rather than go through what youd do in every possible scenario. Obviously if the Astros are winning 12-2 they probably arent gonna put McCullers in to close it out.

If it's by one and the top of the order, then yes.
If it's by 3+ in the 8th with 2 outs and the bags empty and the 7 spot is up, probably let Verlander roll on unless he wants to come out.
Tons of variables to determine.

Turns out the guy who took the ball from her was her brother-in-law, Kirk Head. Sarah said she knew he was going to take it and throw it back.
Kirk was informed by Yahoo Sports that he'd been turned into a villain on the Internet and then asked to defend himself. His defense? "[Expletive] the Dodgers."
You know, that Astros won, so I'm not going to point out that this was posted at 6:47a this morning.ChiliBeans said:

Odds Kenny G has thrown his last pitch for the Astros?
And to show Houston is not racist
I was getting nervous as we trudged through pitchers and only having Giles and one other available being tied in the 10th.Milwaukees Best Light said:

It looks like he may be the victim of the WS ball. All of the pitchers seem to be saying they are slick and it's affected their ability to throw sliders. Giles is a fastball/slider pitcher that has lost his slider.
WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

What's up with the DBag Duo of Fat LSU Guy and Marlins Jersey Man?
I LMGTFMyself and Marlins Jersey Man has a Wikipedia page.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlins_Man
Still investigating Fat LSU Guy.
LSU guy has season tickets in the Diamond Club and ALWAYS wears LSU gear.
I was in the Diamond Club when the Stros clinched the AL West. That was the Sunday after the Miss St beat down and he showed up in his LSU gear. I'll give the dude props he's reppin LSU good or bad.
