To this day, I'm still amazed that Nelson Cruz isn't viewed as a Buckner-level goat for his awful read of Freese's game-tying triple in 2011 Game 6. An average RF makes that catch 8 or 9 times out of 10.

This was a very enjoyable and fun ball game.

I've had people who have not watched baseball in years (and some never) tune in for this game 1. We texted the whole game, and they watched it through and enjoyed it!

Just because you don't like how the Playoff format is, does not mean everyone dislikes it. Most I've seen of people disliking it are very much the minority, but vocal about it so of course it is seen and heard.

I have no dog in this fight being a Red Sox fan, but to say this was not enjoyable, that this game did not have drama...go watch something else, and stop complaining you clearly have a biased mind at the moment.

This postseason has been very fun, and enjoyable. The moments have been fun. I think I have watched every single game (not every inning), and I have zero complaints.

I’d have a tough time being interested in the series if it didn’t have one of the Mets rivals or the Dodgers in it. I found the game enjoyable last night

That's disconcerting.

Or you can be like me - I have some issues with the current playoff format (which has been discussed to death in another thread, no need to rehash it here) but still enjoy the games and storylines themselves. Dusty Baker winning a title would be a great story. The Phillies winning a title would be a great story. The playoff format is flawed IMO. I can believe all of those things to be true at the same time.

Are the Astros wearing the Space City uniforms tonight?

Tucker was wearing the hat in that interview.

EDIT: I think they might be. Bregman was during warm-ups, also.
