the dh rule only applies in American league parks so in Houston they have a dh
when they play in LA there will be no designated hitter and so the pitcher will bat
Did either pitcher's at bat in game one or two amount to anything?

winning the all star game would give that league home field advantage for the world series
this was done to give more meaning and importance to the all star game

By the way, tonight is the big night for the two aces, too bad it is a dh night.

Walking the bases loaded isn't a great way to start a game, but still no runs given up.
Just lots of pitches.
OK, two runs given up. Totally screwed up first inning.
Wow, what an inning. Very unusual 3rd run scoring. Lots of errors abound. E3 for run 3.
At the end of the first inning, ibyt looks like Kershaw is pretty good.
Turning a double play. Been a long time since I've seen one of those.
Last time was probably Cey to Lopes to Garvey.
great game last night
giving Kershaw a quick 4 run lead almost guarantees a win
but did not happen
home runs galore
what figured to be a low scoring game turned out to be a slugfest
now LA has to sweep
I'm still going with the dodgers
only because I have always been a National league fan and don't like the dh rule

Who would have believed a few years ago that the last 3 World Series Champs would be the Royals, the Cubs, and the Astros?
