PA at the park just announced the last train will be at 1 AM instead of 12:30, so the crowd should stick around

I impregnated my wife and she had the baby in the time it's taken to get to the bottom of the 8th

If you are the Dodgers, do you consider pushing Kershaw back a game because the first game matchup will be so favorable anyway?

Jeff Sullivan

9:10

Absolutely not

Rendon fouls off probable ball four

albeit close

9:11

Feels like Davis is going to be very taxed from all this

Ball four!

Wowwww

Andrew

Fyi marlins man is still in the front row

Alfrz

Seven hours

i'm pretty numb to this by now.

it wouldn't be the first time we've lost a game 5 to a defending world series champion 9-7 after getting out to an early lead and having gio gonzalez give up 3 runs and then the bullpen completely blow it.

Jeff Sullivan

9:12

Everybody get your hopes up! It's Adam Lind!

Morbo

9:13

I'd like catchers to start using their middle finger, exclusively, for signs. Throw the networks for a loop

Jeff Sullivan

9:13

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand a routine double play on the first pitch

That's pretty damn deflating

What a massive break, too, for Davis' arm

9:14

Nats just lost 23% of win expectancy on the DP

Bobert

9:15

Remember that Gardner 12-pitch single a few years ago? Fun times.

Jeff Sullivan

9:16

Michael A Taylor!

Nine! To! Eight!

Jeff's stream seems to be a bit behind.

Jeff Sullivan

9:17

It most certainly is

Although if I were ahead of everyone then some people would complain about spoilers!

Justin Wilson went from being one of the trade deadline's hottest commodities to losing his control so badly that Maddon feels the need to run Wade Davis into the ground. Rough couple of months.

9:18

Taylor is godlike this series

Remember when everybody was worried about the Nats CF after Eaton went down.

Michael "Fuckin'" A. Taylor

Oddball Herrera

9:19

Little known fact, Michael Taylor is in fact not related at all to the exiled president of Liberia

9:19

is the queu therefore spoiling the game for you?

Jeff Sullivan

9:19

I'm just glad so many people are still here

Mikey

The only way for the Nats to end this curse is with a game winning Jose Lobaton home run

Guest

9:19

Even Taylor is going to need a shave after this marathon

Pete

If you wrote about what happened in this game I wouldn't believe you anyway

Jeff Sullivan

Base! Hit! Lobaton!
