Will Scherzer's start tonight be a redux of Curt Schilling bloody sock legend?

The only time the home team won every game was Twins over Braves in 1991. This would make a mirror image.

that's not even the only time the TWINS have done it - they did the same thing in 1987.

to be fair, no other team has ever done it. still, you need to hire a new factchecker

The 1987 Twins and Cardinals beg to differ. (oops, see I'm late to the draw here)

I guess the Astros didn't need Gerrit Cole to pitch in relief. Oh wait, they did.

Road team now 6-0 for the very first time.

And the road team with the 7 game sweep!

I tuned in midway through the game, just in time to see the Nats mount their comeback. And yeah, where was Cole!?!?!?

Anyway - congrats Nats fans!

Maybe the Astros needed someone Fast.

[Judge Jude]

the Tigers rotation - Scherzer, Verlander, Porcello, AnSanchez, and Price - for the 2014 stretch run now each have shiny World Series rings since leaving Detroit.

(Price was acquired from Tampa at midseason and made 11 starts while Drew Smyly made 21 starts. but Smyly was dealt in the Price trade.)

Nationals Admit World Series Win Would Be Way Sweeter If Franchise Was Still In Montréal

...“We’ve never really considered D.C. our home, and we all grew up bleeding Expos blue,” said World Series MVP Stephen Strasburg, speaking in French while lovingly referencing Montréal’s architecture, cosmopolitan culture, and its “incredible cuisine.” “The first thing we did when we got back to the locker room was sing Québec’s anthem. Man, could you imagine driving our parade floats down Catherine Street? It’s great to finally get a ring, but it’ll be a little bittersweet to celebrate with a bunch of D.C. bureaucrats who are just looking for something to do.” At press time, Strasburg admitted to taking some solace in winning a World Series without Bryce Harper.
