I should have taken a nap today 🤣 I thought I’d go to sleep before the game was over but... nah.
DS saved his “special drink” to watch during the game (aka apple juice), we’ve got nachos and LET’S GO BRAVES!

My kid has never been to Taco Bell and basically grabbed the keys and was like - mom, we are going NOW. Lol

Game 2 with an open roof. Let’s see if that helps.
I hated everything about last night. Hated that we lost and hated that Charlie Morton broke his leg! Just awful. Hope he heals quickly. So many pitcher injuries this year.

That hit in the 8th that travelled on Brantley was a bit scary. Glad he got to it and we kept it moving.
Great baseball overall. I’m just really happy with the series. We seem evenly matched and that makes for good ball in my opinion.
Hoping we sub Marwin for Siri in Game 3. Siri is just too amp’d and sloppy at the plate.

donnamoss, I agree. It's been a good series and good baseball so far. Obviously I want us to win but I'm just happy for good mostly drama free baseball. Disagree about Marwin over Siri though. He's way too slow for center field and I love Siri. He IS sloppy and strike out prone but his energy is just amazing. He is living his dream and I am thrilled for him. He is the ultimate dugout cheerleader, too.

My husband is in such a foul mood. He went to bed in the 5th, I stayed up to watch the whole game. We had to mute the TV though because Joe Buck is like nails on a chalkboard to me at this point. Hoping for a turnaround—our bats are just dead.

Yeah last night was frustrating but we never play well in cold weather and our bats have been hot and cold all season. No surprise really. Hope for a turnaround today!
I will say the pre-game tribute to Hank Aaron was A+ and I got very teary eyed when Dusty Baker couldn't contain himself and bolted out of the dugout to hug everyone.

The first two games and the second two games were like a different series. I am bummed but it has been good baseball. I never had a great feeling about this series. We tend to underperform against teams we "should" beat. We also don't play well in cold conditions. I'm hoping we can squeak a win out tonight and get back to Houston but I kind of doubt it. Nothing quite like the ups and downs of October baseball!

All the astros kids did trick or treating at the hotel this morning and it’s a high level of cuteness. Astros wives have it in their IG stories.

Then they got their revenge. All super cute stuff. Back to Minute Maid! Wow what a game. I think my favorite moment (besides actually hitting in general) was Grienke pitch hitting….and getting a hit. Lol he had to love that.

I AM SO NERVOUS.
DH made popcorn in game 5 right after Framber gave up the grand slam. At that point the game started to turn around so DD says he has to do it again. I don't think she's wrong.

Meanwhile Dansby has looked less groomed lately. Maybe he’s like not shaving for the entirety of WS? But he has been super energetic too and I’m over here not so subtly staring at a good majority of our starters.

This Braves team looks relaxed AF. I expect this series to end tonight. No one tell my husband I said so.

Both those home runs were absolute monster shots. H came in on the replay of Solers and was annoyed with his show boating but once he saw the HR he understood.

I hate the showboating and MH and I both rolled our eyes at it. But if you hit a literal out-of-the-park HR in the World Series then I’ll allow it.

I mean if I hit a home run in the World Series that landed on the street I would gloat, too. I don’t have a problem with it at all. This game has been a disaster. Dusty has done a great job overall but this game is showing why he’s never won a World Series.

It’s the absolute worst that these games are so late at night. I’m legit debating waking up DS1 to watch this game. Yes! DS fell asleep on the couch but we may also wake him up. It’s his first week at his new school and he’s been up so late multiple nights 😬
