    Yankees fans were chanting "Hurricane Harvey" last night. Beautiful.

    I heard the Oakland Raiders outdrew Dodgers last night.

    Astros line made quite a move now -150 Prolly not wrong with the home field huge trend this year. I just can't.

    How rough it must be for Tigers fans to watch Verlander & Scherzer this post season thinking about what might have been.

    Maybe this is karma then.

    Wonder if the $1300 nosebleed seats at Dodger Stadium will go down once the Yankees get eliminated.

    no offense to druff, but I'd like to see Verlander win a world series, something he had NO shot of remaining with the Tigers.

    As I predicted, prices for the World Series games at Dodger Stadium have FALLEN since the Astros won the ALCS.

    It's dropped about 25% since that happened, though you still can't get any seat in the park for under $1000 to game 1.

    I will go if I can get a loge (second level) seat between the bases for $500 or less. Only exception are the ones under the overhang, which are awful. I've written off the field level as pretty much impossible given the budget I set. It still probably won't happen, but they are falling pretty fast, and on game day you occasionally get some great bargains from panic sellers. If it happens at all, it will be Game 2.

    Here we go....

    103 degrees and 12% humidity.

    Kershaw doesn't do the best when it's hot.

    Can they get 6 good innings out of him?

    Ticket prices to this game never got below $800 for the worst seats in the park.

    Pretty amazing that Jackie Robinson's wife outlived him by 45 years (and is still going), despite being only 3 years younger.

    It is 57 degrees cooler in Chicago right now than LA.

    So far so good with Kershaw, but my concern has to do with home runs.

    Dodgers need to attack right off the bat and hand him a lead.

    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    I guess it's apropos that the actual Dodgers are only 3 years behind the "poor man's Dodgers"

    The poor man's Dodgers failed to finish .500.

    Kershaw has a big issue with HR this year.

    I was worried about this.

    Fortunately it's a solo again because he barely allows baserunners.
