Would love to get to a game next season at the Rangers or preferably the Astros... Maybe I should start more local with the Round Rock Express first...
Oh yeah! I know a few people that have done the 30. On my list of things to do, I'm on 3 myself, Miller Park, Wrigley, and Guarenteed Rate Field. One day I really wanna be a nerd and do as many minor league parks as I can too
Astros now lead 3-1 with 3 to play after beating the Yankees 8-3 tonight. Can’t see the Yanks coming back from this - they’re up against Verlander tomorrow, the presumably Strasburg Saturday then Cole Sunday. Winning all three of those games is a tall order.

Bit harsh havign to face one of the Nationals best pitchers before they even get to the World Series!
I think its likely Verlander gets it done tonight.
Nats - Astros will be an incredible match up from a pitching perspective. Probably the two best starting rotations in the league.

Ha! Yeah, getting my Astros and Nats pitchers mixed up! Soz.
Wow that is unbelievable work by Brantley in the field... diving forward to make the catch and then throws a rocket into first base for the second out.
Walk off two run home run from Altuve in the 9th. Loving it.
It was a really good finale to be fair.
Lemahieu getting the 2 run homer to tie it up was dramatic enough, and the crowd was just stunned by it. Then when Aroldis “sweatiest man in the world” Chapman came up and started pitching well, it looked like we might be in for a long one. Step forward Springer to force a walk, putting pressure on old Sweaty, who started to crack, and Altuve took his chance.
Great stuff and great result. Cant wait for Tuesday!
Astros V Nats it is then. Not the series many would have expected, especially seeing the Nats there, but they are there on merit having come through against the Dodgers & Cards when probably underdogs in b. Can they beat the Astros however who are looking to win their 2nd World Series in 3 years?. Maybe, but i doubt it. The Astros have the experience, probably the best 1-2 punch going in Verlander & Cole and the extra home game advantage. The Nats have Scherzer & Strasburg and will make a good fist of it, but this looks like another World Series for Houston. Astros in 6.
This could be a huge win. Scherzer looked nervous and just about managed to get through 5 innings, yet ended up with the win. Astros won’t have expected Cole to suffer a loss after winning his last 16 in a row. He was their banker. Now the Nats are guaranteed to go back to DC at least level. If they can go 2-0 up though... well, who knows?
Wow, I didn't see that coming. I don't think the Astros are out of it, but they have to win tomorrow night. I don't think any team has come back from 0-3 down in the Series.
A pal of mine is a big Nats fan. He had a season ticket last year, but he moved to a new job in a school in Vietnam in the summer. He rolled up in Washington last night. He and his missus have flown over from Ho Chi Minh City to be in DC for the World Series while they’re on half term. Flights cost about $1000 each. They’re going to the game tomorrow night. Cost them $850 each for standing room only tickets. Really hope they win now!

They do but cost depends on who the club is and where you sit within the stadium.

Not feeling so bad about the shellacking the Cards took now.
