Until proven otherwise Kershaw is the best pitcher in the game today but I'm hoping the Mets can get to him.

Koufax and Drysdale clones......what a duo....

 

[Rick2583]

The voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers will not call the team’s 2015 postseason games.

According to the Los Angeles Times, announcer Vin Scully underwent a medical procedure and will miss the playoffs.

He has called three perfect games, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games. He was behind the microphone for Kirk Gibson’s Game 1 homer in the 1988 World Series, Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron’s record-setting 715th home run and Sandy Koufax’s four no-hitters, including a perfect game.

Incredible Vin will return for his 67th Season of Calling Games....

Given Rick's research, Metros have a shot. As winner of their
division, Metros should not be downplayed. It should be a
good one. Now, if I only keep my eyes open.....!

Starting this game at basically 10pm is ridiculous. It's the networks telling MLB we have the NY and LA markets locked up so who gives a crap.

Hey Vic did you enjoy the Ranger game tonight.... 3 goals in what a minute or two.

Yes, it was incredible. Thought it was over after Columbus scored on the PP. If you changed the channel you then missed three Ranger goals. Great win.

 

[Messiah717]

deGrom still needs a haircut.

So far so good looks like it could be a great season. Liked that some of the kids were put in late in the game.

Lines look well balanced so far. It's early but should be another good season if they stay healthy.

I hope so, knowing that the Knicks will probably suck again this year at least I have something to watch this winter.

The Knicks have so turned me off from basketball I don't remember the last game I watched. I'm more than content with hockey and football.

Same here.

 

[Messiah717]

Kershaw and deGrom are striking out everyone early on.

 

[Lillie]

Looks like a long night ahead. Then again after watching the Rangers/Jays for 5 hours I'm prepared for anything....lol

 

[Messiah717]

After two innings. deGrom 6 Ks and Kershaw 4.

 

[Lillie]

That hair does have to go....... It's hideous.

 

[cagedlion]

Loved that Ranger comeback in 3rd period.
Just throw that puck at the net, and you never know.
I know. Great win against a tough Columbus team.

I'm happy!

 

[Messiah717]

Murphy sends one way out to right. 1-0 Mets.

 

[Rick2583]

Great match up DeGrom & Kershaw matching K for K. 11 each.

 

[Lillie]

This is getting interesting.........lol

 

[Lillie]

LMAO

 

[Messiah717]

Donnie is going to be questioned for not letting Kershaw try to get out of the inning.

 

[Lillie]

Mets win.

 

[Messiah717]

Road teams are 5-2 so far.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Kershaw is now 1-6 in Post Season play.

Many in the media compare his In-Season play, to that of Koufax. CK is not Sandy Koufax, and will never be. There Is, and will only be One Koufax.

The 60s World Series assassin, ......SK owned that decade, left an indelible mark, .........~~!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Road teams are 5-2 so far.

A reversal of HFA stats and theories....??

 

[Rick2583]

I guess not everyone can be Madison Bumgarner.
