Hi everybody!

8:03

Looking forward to a great game. Looks like most of you think the Dodgers win tonight.

I said a boom-chicka-boom
I said a boom chicka-boom
I said a boom, Clayton Kershaw and Dallas Keuchel make for an interesting starting pitcher matchup especially when it's in the World Series and especially even more when it's in the World Series and the series is tied at 2-2, boom

If Carson Cistulli were Prince Hamlet in the eponymous play, which state of being would he choose?

Paul Swydan

8:03

To quote Krusty the Clown, I wouldn't touch that Cistulli question with a 10-foot clown pole. But please, feel free to speculate.

8:04

I will say that I never actually read Hamlet. When we were assigned it in class, my friends and I just watched the movie. But being dumb boys, we waited until the last second, and had to drive two towns over because all the girls in our class had beaten us to the punch and rented out the copies in our town.

The lesson: boys are dumb.

Abdul Latif Jameel

8:04

Dallas Keuchel -> A Shellack Duel
Clayton Kershaw -> Whacks Ornately
Jose Altuve -> Jealous Vet
Cody Bellinger -> Boldly Generic
Carlos Correa -> Cloaca Errors
Cory Seager - Crease Orgy

Paul Swydan

8:05

Unfortunately, Abdul, you forgot the E in Corey. Try again!

LJS

8:05

You should read it, it is legit great

Paul Swydan

8:06

I love reading, but I couldn't stand Shakespeare. My wife loved him though, so on average, my marriage has read TONS of Shakespeare.

8:06

the last poll is easy. 1st pitch is scheduled for 8:20.

Paul Swydan

8:06

It is?

Where do you see that?

LJS

8:06

Hi from Germany!

I still don’t know who I’m rooting for in this series

Paul Swydan

8:07

I don't either!!!! I feel like I'm rooting more for the Dodgers, but I still like the Astros.

Tommy

8:07

Hi! I love you.

Paul Swydan

8:07

I love you too, Tommy.

Mood from Houston: [several curse words] Giles

Paul Swydan

8:07

Ha.

8:08

Oh look, someone who isn't Beyonce is performing the national anthem. Why the hell didn't Beyonce sing the anthem at one of these Houston games? Unreal. I will NOT get over this.

MLB today announced that first pitch times for the remainder of the #WorldSeries have been adjusted to 8:20pm (ET) [7:20pm (CT)/5:20pm (PT)]
4:57 PM - 26 Oct 2017

Paul Swydan

8:09

Huh. Well, it just says 8 pm on MLBs site, and in most media. Baseball always does this. I can't stand the bait and switch.

8:10

I loathe the NFL, but when it comes for the Super Bowl, they always make sure every media outlet knows that kickoff is scheduled for 8:26. Or whatever the specific time is.

Safety Stegosaurus

8:10

Your opinion on slick balls? (Phrasing)

Paul Swydan

8:10

I don't care. This hasn't been the scoringest or non-scoringest World Series of all-time. As long as the balls are the same for both teams, I couldn't care less.

8:11

Having said that, if you want to learn more about the process, you should read Stephanie Springer's piece from Wednesday at THT. She had a really great breakdown.

Mike

The answer has a lot to do with the Venn diagram of Beyonce fans in Texas and Houston Astros fans in Texas

Paul Swydan

8:11

A) No one is stupid enough to boo Beyonce.

8:13

B) The Astros are not in charge of pregame ceremonies. MLB steps in and runs the whole show. Team reps are mere lliasons at this point. And in the past, MLB has always tried to find famous local singers/celebrities to take part in these festivities. And aside from the two Bush's, both of whom are on field right now, Houston doesn't have a more famous celebrity than Beyonce.

W with a strike. So casual.

Pie

8:13

Beyonce's gotta be too big a name to do the national anthem, right?

Paul Swydan

8:14

If you're implying that MLB is too cheap to pay her what she would want for it, then yes. But MLB should be smart enough to know how much free publicity they'd get out of the deal.

hscer

8:14

which Hamlet movie?

Paul Swydan

8:14

Uh, the Mel Gibson one.
