Walker Buehler vs. Rick Porcello
Failure was the overarching theme of the first two games of this World Series. Failure to execute at the plate. Failure to execute out of the pen. And, maybe most importantly, failure to get a third out. The Sox are ungodly good with two outs. Remember when "TWO OUT MADNESS!" was our thing? It was our thing, wasn't it? Maybe way back when.
Speaking of way back when, a lot is being made of the '65 and '81 Dodgers both being down 0-2 and coming back to win the Series. That's neat and all, but letting the past die has worked before in this Series and we need it to work again. Make new history, Dodgers. We've waited long enough.
Bring your broom, Broom Boy! The Dodgers need a sweep at home!
Just like the end of The Last Jedi, the future begins with the young: Walker Buehler on the mound. Joc and Cody back in the starting lineup. Seize the day, boys.
GO BLUE!

It's now or never, boys
Could’ve sworn I saw a lineup with Barnes in it earlier. Did they revise?
Didn't see that
I've got my Cody Bellinger shirsey on today at work. I'm expecting a bomb from him today!
Turns out MLB posted a “projected lineup.” Carry on.
Maybe you were looking at your Austin Barnes-themed Pinterest page?
Dusty and Sax in the House. Dieter playing DM’s “A Question of Trust”.
Dusty says hi but he hates blogger
hateHateHATE
Loved the soft rock they played for the Boston BP
So did Christopher across, who gets royalties
26 pitches is too many though
I^Christopher Cross
Dusty needs to have Geek Squad sort out his Blogger issue.
First inning walk for Muncy but nothing else.
Does Fox know that the Santa Monica pier is like 20 miles from Dodger Stadium? They always show it on their telecasts like it’s right next door.
Dodgers go down in order in the second. Bellinger is saving his power for the late innings.
Buehler picks off JBJ to start the third. Nice!
JOCPOP!!!
Turner follows that up with a double.
End of three, Dodgers up 1-0. We have a lead!
Nice shut down inning from Buehler.
Buehler pitch count slightly higher than preferred
Our offensive approach still generally sucking
Buehler 79 pitches over 5 scoreless innings
Porcello pulled with two out in the fifth. Time for a buttload of substitutions.
Ok shit here. 1-0 is not going to be the final score here, so we need to get to work. Through 5, stadium seems a little tense. We need a good sixth here from Walker.
Sax out
So it turns out Walker Buehler is the man. 6 scoreless, 93 pitches
Buehler has a good sixth Sax!
Buehler is fucking nails. 1-0 through 5.5
Cody's first-pitch popup is more offensive than Manny not hustling
Agree Orel, that was terrible approach
KKKKKK
Walker Freakin Bueller!!!
Your Game 7 starter!
Buehler got a big hug from Kershaw in the dugout.
God forbid we actually string a few hits together
Come on Kempy
Kenley gets one out
Mary Hart and Larry King so chill
Jansen has been homer prone all year, so why should tonight be any different? Come on Jansen, let’s get these last four outs! Bats wake up you fucks!
I’m sure Sax and Dusty are either cussing their heads off or crying into a beer right now. That sucked.
Shitty of Kenley but a solo homer shouldn't feel like a game-winning one
Nothing doing for us in the eighth. Gonna have to be a walkoff.
Kenley coming back out for the ninth.
To the ninth. 1-1. kenley still pitching which I don’t think can be good.
Has anyone explained to Manny that Miami is not an island
Nice inning from Kenley. Bottom of the ninth coming up. Let’s go!
here we go bishes! i'm still not listening to Buck. fuck him
Bellinger with a leadoff single!
Geez Puig
why why why? unfuckingbelievable
STOOPID BELLINGER!!
Bellinger picked off and Yaz walks. Two down.
Brainfarts everywhere!
Bellinger guns a guy at the plate! What a throw!
Two down in the bottom of the tenth and Muncy coming up.
Muncy with a double! Machado coming up.
Muncy doubles...
He pops out. Going to the 11th.
Oh man. I am a mess
Baez with two quick outs in the 11th.
Hang in there Sax. We got this!
Goodwin is a True Dodger. How dare he
Good thing we have our defensive specialists Machado and Bellinger.
Well Baez is toast for tomorrow but we needed him to come through and he did
Rally cap on here! Let’s go Bellinger!
Man, when they aren't hitting dingers, this is a really boring brand of baseball
The inability or unwillingness to adjust is maddening
wtf were you swinging at, Barnes?
CT3 will swing at anyyyyyything
Going to the 12th. Damn.
I am still a mess

One of these decades I might actually learn how to do a hyperlink
To the bottom of the 12th!
Kiké leading off the bottom of the 12th. Bring on the big swings!
Ugh. 1-1 through 12
Red Sox have winning run on second, no out
Alexander gives up a leadoff walk. Not good.
Shit.
jmfgdc
This ain’t looking good.
Yeah, can we get the Braves back? They'd at least be fun to watch.
Hey, remember when Walker Buehler was showing everyone what an ace looks like in a World Series game like two hours ago? ME NEITHER! Fuck this team, man. Gutless. Absolutely gutless.
Just keep swinging under those pitches, Manny. One of these decades you'll connect
I like how David Freese is like a guy Roberts thinks just hangs because he's got nothing else to do.
JUST KEEP SWINGING SWINGING AWAY BABY ONE CENTURY YOU'LL CONNECT I'M SURE
At least we won't have to worry about not signing Machado. He's kind of annoying, anyway.
Holy shit we tied it up!
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Going to the 14th!
Oh my GAWD Barnes is useless with a bat
Jesus, Eovaldi has a better hack
Walkoff in the bottom of the 14th? Let’s find out!
Floro was Baez-like today
They better score, I can't watch Maeda.
Kiké showed up!
And nobody around him did!
Look at Larry King still there, sticking it out like a goddamn trooper!
Well, shit. Even Turner can't get it done.
Dammit. We are wasting all our chances.
I take back what I said about Freese.
ugh
So, this is Hell, is it?
WE'VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME
Sit down and shut up, Betts
That Joc homerun, oh so long ago.
Can't believe Kenta pulled that off
12 MEN LOB!!! COME AWWWWWWN!
Muncy's had some uncharacteristically bad ABs
Least it's not 2:35am for us (yet)
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK SO CLOSE
Eovaldi's giant-ass ears will haunt my dreams tonight
The Dodgers' giant-ass popups will haunt my dreams
Watching on my phone in bed with headphones now. Not sure how long I’ll last.
Bogaerts is hurt but still batting
Since time is hard to measure, let me share this: I watched an entire (fabulous) Danny Elfman concert at the Hollywood Bowl... which started in the sixth inning of this game.... and still made it back in time to watch the previous two innings.
Kenta Ks the side in the 16th! Just like they drew it up!
Maeda with a 1-2-3 inning
This has one-run loss written all over it
We can’t buy a hit.
Urias in for the 17th. My god this is crazy
I think the NFL games are about to start, aren't they?
It’s me and Julio down by the schoolyard
Bottom of the 17th. This game is nuts.
Whatta you know, another infield pop-up
UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jesus, Eovaldi has pitched almost an entire game
Ah, well, I see we're throwing in the towel.
Wood coming in for the 18th. Oh boy.
"You've got to get one of the next two batters out"
Um, ya think?
Freese strikes again. Wow.
I Love AL Pitchers Batting!
Beaux Arts helps us out
Wood induces the GIDP to escape the 18th!
I think I'm seeing stars at this point.
Beautiful (pronounced like Saturday Night Fever era John Travolta)
My friends are already back from the Bruno Mars concert at Staples tonight. And they’re now watching the game. Crazy
Boston's lucky most of their bars have last call at 11am
Anyone else got Huey Lewis "If This Is It" in their head?
My dogs have now had multiple walks over the course of this game
Thank God!
Muncy will never have to pay for a banana in LA again.
Now off to World Series dog walk number three
Good night y'all.
Muncy!!!!
FINALLY
Oh...WIN
Winning pitcher: Alex Wood
I passed out in the 16th... what happened?
