Sure, say bad baserunning is an MLB thing. But mind-numbingly atrocious baserunning is most definitely an Angels thing. 

as Fowler gets hung up between 1b and 2b to end the inning

I heard that!!!

LOL! I wasn't complimenting him.

He sounded like a mating bullfrog.

just wait. all we're going to hear about is how great he was 

[CaliAngel]

Kershaw ain't foolin the Cubbies. 

[CaliAngel]

Awesome that Joe Buck finds it appropriate to blabber about the friggin NFL for that entire half an inning. I'd shove a horse cock sized dildo up my ass if he ever did the miracle of muttering the words "postseason baseball" during an NFL telecast. What a freakin' tool.

[Lou]

yeah, they've been hitting him hard all game 

[Lou]

btw, lol @ the Chicago's $184 Million bench player.

Hendricks cutting through the Dodgers lineup like butter that's been sitting out for an hour and a half.

nothing would be better than to see the dogs lose with Kershaw getting shelled along the way 

then we get to read posts by Oz how it doesn't mean Clayton can't pitch in the postseason  ; )

4 runs in 5 innings. Not shelled but not award winning. 

[CaliAngel]

Is Rizzo's walk up song seriously Taylor Swift? lol, whatever works I guess.

How about 5 in 5?

[AngelsLakersFan]

My condolences to Oz and his incoming self ban

[CaliAngel]

Kershaw is done. Ethier on deck to PH. 

Hendricks has faced the minimum. 

Doyers can't win if they don't score runs.

In Kershaw terms that's as close to shelled as anyone is going to get.

Cubs World Series tickets on Stubhub.  Starting at $2,261.

[ScottT]

That's standing room only.  A seat will set you back at least $2,600.  

[CaliAngel]

I don't know what to say other than that's ridiculous but ticket prices wouldn't be that high if people didn't pay that much for them. Personally I feel like there are much better things I could spend $2,600 on, but I'm also not a Cubs fan. However even if it was the Angels I can't say I would pay that much.

Hendricks through 7 has still faced the minimum. 5-0 Cubbies.

Jayson Stark just tweeted:

This is Clayton Kershaw's 283rd trip to the mound (counting postseason). It's the first time he's ever given up an XBH in 5 straight innings.

 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Shades of Dusty Baker taking out Russ Ortiz?

[Kevin]

Nice double play Howie.....

[fan_since79]

That's the "Double-play" Howie we remember.

 

[CaliAngel]

Dodgers body language communicates that they have given up. 

That's not the attitude of the types of Champions we're familiar with, that's for sure. 

[fan_since79]

Let's see, what could possibly go wrong for the Cubs in the ninth?

I can guarantee you everyone in that park is at least a little nervous.

 

[CaliAngel]

^That's the only reason I would have kept Hendricks in. So what the dude's given up a hit? He's got a lot of days to rest until the World Series. He's been pretty much flawless. You're going to yank him because of a base hit with 1 out up 5 runs in the 8th?

This was his game to own to the 9th, I'm sure it'll all work out but sometimes that micro-managing drives me a little nuts.
