This should be one helluva pitcher's duel...

Split screen Madness?? ALCS or Crimson Tide??
Neither...~!
Will be at the mercy of a hospital TV.
Dad has been out of the hospital for 5 days. I had a bad gut feeling of intuition at 10:30 last night. I drove over to his house only to find my sister, his live-in caretaker, missing in action. Dad was laying on the floor in the dark of the night helpless moaning. Called the ambulance, & spent the night in the ER with him.
He has been readmitted one week after his hernia surgery. I have been told his blood is septic. A mass exist within his bladder. He has been urinating blood.

He's undergoing a barrage of testing.
If he survives this, he will be tended to on an Alzheimers unit.
I am going home to get a nap. 5 hours sleep over the last 56 hours... Over and out..............

Rob, just take care of yourself. Prayers & thoughts are for you, your Dad & family.
 
Astros strike first with a Springer bases loaded single under Nunez’ glove at 3B. 2-0 Astros in 2nd inning.
 
Verlander looks sharp in the early going.
 
Nunez flubs a double play grounder. :onfire:.....top 6. Love to see Astros break through here,
especially against Joe Kelly.
 
Correa singles in Bregman with 2 out RBI single. Stros 3-2. New relief pitcher enters.
It’s Matt Barnes.
 
Top of the night Springer strikes out

Altuve walks

Bregman walks

Guerriel hits a homerun to right field bregman, Altuve three runs score
 
Astros have homered in 13 consecutive postseason games...

Am I hearing this right? The Astros 13 P.S. Consecutive HR's have tied the Bagwell, Biggio, Berkman and Beltran killer bees Astros???

Marwin Gonzalez walks another walk.
These Red Sox weren't so great after all.
Pitching staff obviously hasn't been cold.

Correa lines out too short...
 
Collin McHugh takes the mound to close out the night-9th... I love to see Boston lose in Boston.

Bogaert's with long single off the green monster. Marwin Gonzalez plays that bounce off the wall perfectly holding Bogaert's to a single
 
Nothing like watching these Sox fall to an opponent. And pitching put them to rest tonight........
with a starter who pitched through 6 innings.
 
Cora allegedly told his team they were better than the '17 Astros. Probably should have held that commitment until after the series is over. I have to wonder about Verlander, in his final days with Detroit he was on the 'bout through list. Guy goes to Houston and morphs into 5 super heroes. If your major league you could be suspect. I don't like either team, did not watch the game read the box score when finished. Looks like Sale sold out early in this one.

Matts..

My heart is with your dad. My brother and I had to take care of our father who also had complications.

Ouch!! You have your hands full. Hope things take a turn for the better with your dad.

Thank you Mel. The doctors found a mouse in his bladder. It's the very reason for septic blood, and a constant flow of bloodt urine.
We will not go for a day or two the results of that biopsy. This doctors will not say for sure until the biopsies complete, but they are somewhat expecting a cancerous tumor.

Is Alzheimer's / dementia is in an advanced stage. That alone causes the most intense of caretaking...

I appreciate everybody's thoughts and well-wishes. This reminds me too much of the 1981 World Series. When I drove my motorcycle from Southern Cal to Western Kansas and braved the snow 700 miles returning and pouring rains 800 miles returning.
I rode that motorcycle to spend the last dying days with my cancer ridden grandfather. Just to watch one last World Series with him especially a classic Yankees series.
My father looks just like my grandfather, his father; back then. Skin and bones unable to walk and death knocking on his back door.

Dad told me before yesterday's Bums/ Brewers game, "that red-headed Wildman is going to hit one up into the rafters", meaning Justin Turner. And hours later he did.
 
Game Recap- video.

Only thing almost as good as a Yankees win is a Bosox Loss, especially at Home....

It's not often we see more Walks, let alone twice as many walks as Hits: (10-Base On Balls, vs 5 Hits and & Runs by Houston)

Bosox 3 Hits, 2 Runs, 4 Base On Balls...
all 4 BB's were by Verlander.
I'm kinda surprised Verlander doesn't stick with his Wind-Up vs the Stretch with Runners on Base. Sure Boston would run wild on the bases, but Verlander seemed to of lost control working out of the stretch.

Billy Ripken preaches how Nunez should of played 3rd, something Ripken seems lost at doing, teaching fundamentals...

Nunez looked sloppy, the very same style of indecisive play that ended his career in t/Bronx....
