It will payout $300.

Wish I put a heckuva a lot more on them to win it all back then, but just getting it right has me pumped about this series haha!

Now that the Phillies lead 2-1, wouldn't it be nice to get $150 now and $150 later if they win the Series?  Sorry, bud, it don't work that way!

Haha that would be nice.  But I'm here for all the sweating until there are Four W's for the Phillies.

Different game tonight.  Javier Vasquez has baffled the Phillies to this point.  0-0 after 4.

[The Raven]

Yordon Alvarez gets HBP with the bases loaded to plate the first run of the game.  1-0 Astros, still in the top of 5.

[The Raven]

4 more Astros score in the inning.   5-0 Houston.  Middle of the 5th.

That should be Christian Javier.   Got my Astros crossed.

[The Raven]

Astros with a combined no-no through 7.

Astros toss the 2nd No Hitter in WS history and tie the series at 2, 5-0.

Wow, a No No in a World Series game.  Don Larsen did it in 1956.

Back at it tonight.

Third No-No in Post season history.  Larsen (Yankees) in the 1956 Series vs Brooklyn, Astros last night vs Philly and Roy Halladay(Phillies) vs the Reds in Game 1 of the 2010 NLDS.

For an NL Team.   Game 2 of the 1956 Series, Brooklyn trailed the Yankees 6-0 and came back to win 13-8.

Largest Ever was The Philadelphia A's over the Cubs in Game 4 of the 1929 Series.  Scored 10 runs in the bottom of the 7th to erase an 8-0 deficit.

Interesting. We now have two games in this world series that the last time it happened was in the 1956 series. Makes me want to look at what else happened in the 1956 series.

Crazy sports coincidence tonight (both events at the same time):

HOUSTON VS. PHILADELPHIA

Baseball - Astros at Phillies
Football - Eagles at Texans

Phillies break out the Mike Schmidt era powder blue/maroon unis.   Nice look.
