There is no tomorrow. This is it. This is game 7. Kevin welcome to the world series on fox pregame show brought to you by the lincoln motor company. It is game 7 from Dodger Stadium in los angeles. Doesnt get any better than this. Cant wait for the first pitch coming up on fox. These fans are rowdy and ready to go, as you would expect. Theres never been a game game 7 here. Justin turner grew up rooting for the dodgers, now has a chance to bring home a title for his hometown team. Against jose altuve, the batting champion. Hes been everything the season. Can he get one more win for his astros . Theyve got to slow down yasiel puig. Looking for a big play tonight to spark his team and win the world series title. The commissioners trophy, thats what they play for. Down the left field line of Dodger Stadium, welcome to the pregame show. Here with the guys. The big hurt, frank thomas. Keith hernandez. Big papi, david ortiz. Alex rodriguez and im kevin burkhardt. Game 7, youve all been in them. The pressure, what are these guys feeling . A lot of emotion. There is no better event than a game 7 world series. Let me tell you something. This is the super bowl. There will be 50 players on rosters. Never have you played a bigger game and never have you had more eyeballs and more excitement on a day like today. David you need to prepare yourself to see things youve never seen before. Getting nervous is not a good thing. We are going to see from the very beginning, when you see the clock hit 5 05, youre going to see who was ready to win this game. Frank theres going to be tremendous pressure. Players, coaches. 27 outs, and who is going to blink first. Only one team can walk away with this trophy. Kevin stealing your ball bee sevens but only one of us has been in two. Mr. Hernandez, you won both. Give us a little flavor. Keith it boils down to one game. You are loose but not like in a 162game season. There is an intensity. You know there is a job to do. You have cooperated with the press the whole season but this is the time or the press, you get your points out real quick. Theyre going to have to wait until after the game. Win or lose. You cant have any distractions. There is a job to be done. To be too hard to sleep, hard to eat. You have a hundred emails. Its about controlling emotions. Overthinking it. Kevin here is a recap. Its been a great series. Back and forth, started with an 11strikeout performance from Clayton Kershaw. Justin turner proved to be the difference in game number 1. Game two, outrageous display of power. Eight home runs. The astros won it in extra innings. Yu darvish left the game, got shelled. In the inning into thirds. Houston capitalized on the early lead, took a 21 series lead. Joc pederson in the ninth for the dodgers, they even do it. Game 5, instant classic. Five hours, 17 minute marathon. Walk off head by alex bregman. Houston within a game. Dodgers answer back. The bullpen recapturing the invincibility and forcing tonights game number 7. This is what we have in this world series. 24 home runs between the teams. 14 by the astros, tied for the world series record. Both bullpens have struggled, especially the astros. They have really struggled. On that note, time for the inside pitch. We welcome in Ken Rosenthal, part of tonights broadcast of this game 7. He went 4 2 3 innings on sunday. Hes available tonight. How is dave roberts going to use Clayton Kershaw . Ken dave roberts said there is no script. He doesnt want to predetermine anything. If you go to game 5 of last Years Division series, it could be a blueprint. The dodgers went to Kenley Jansen and brought in kershaw for the final two outs. He will be on two days rest now. He joked with us last night he could go 27 innings. In truth, he cannot give the dodgers as much length as alex moved. He proved last year he can warm up quickly. He has the abilities to get lefties and righties. I leave you with this. Vision. Clayton kershaw in the mound in the ninth inning trying to close out the Dodgers First world series title since 1988. Imagine. Now to tom verducci. Tom this is a first game 7 e there is a manager who wants to use just starting pitchers. If you include brad peacock, its keuchel behind mccullers. Possibly Chris Devenski and Charlie Morton could close it. Keuchel is key because he can give length to a. J. Hinch. Two, possibly three innings. If there is trouble with runners on base with mccullers, peacock will be the guy to come in the game. He warms up more quickly than keuchel. These games tend to be scrabble games. The dodgers, with their National League roster, more relief pitchers and a deeper bench, better equipped to play a scrabble game. Scramble game. Kevin appreciate the report. Lets bring it back and talk about contacts. I want to ask keith, what would no world series win mean . Youve got the astros who is never won in their history and the dodgers, its been since 88. Keith it is always the same. You have 25 players, five coaches, and one manager and you started back in the middle of february, seven months ago. Every day. You are like a band of brothers. Youve gone through ups and downs. This is the ultimate prize. It comes down to one game, winnertakeall. This is what you start, this is every teams goal. For a lot of these guys who have never been in the world series, this is their chance to get the ring on their finger and be triumphant and be successful. More importantly, as a group, thats important. David i think houston is playing for the higher calling. Houston is playing for a town who was devastated by a hurricane, a town thats been through so much. United people. Sports brings people together. Based on my own experience with the boston bombing, after we won the world series, we brought so much to this city. We brought so many people together in the city. I think this is whats going to happen at houston if they win the series. Frank the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and the organizations first series championship. This is their time. This is their moments. Kevin its been 55 years for the astros. An eternity before they white sox won with you in 2005. Frank and we got a win. Kevin how about the dodgers . Give me a sense for los angeles, a great historic franchise in the game. Alex rich history, great tradition. A little bit like the yankees. They lost favor to the lakers, the knicks. The dodgers fan base is back in a big way. Kevin you have probably seen these stats. Theres never been a game 7 played at Dodger Stadium. For all their history, the world series, they havent won since 1988. Dodger stadium opened in 1962. They only won one world series celebrated on their home field, 1963. They have a chance to do it in front of their home fans for only the second time ever here tonight. A lot on the line for the dodgers and astros. We wonder how Lance Mccullers will perform in game 7. Yu darvish looks to bounce back tonight. Were going to talk to john smoltz. He will break down the pitchers when we come back. This will be the sixth time theres been a world series gam. We will take a look back at some of the alltime classic game sevens. One was last year, and we were there for that. There is George Springer. Hes having a heck of a world series. If the astros win, he could be the mvp. He needs one more big game to get his team over the hump tonight. Dodger stadium is going to be rocking. Game 7. Its all on the line from chavez ravine. Alright, off you go. Casual fridays at Buckingham Palace . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money nathan saved by switching to geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. No cmon e . popcorn spilling make sure youve got coverage where it matters most. Hey you i just want to post a pictuuuure switch to the smart choice, Cricket Wireless and get a network you can count on at a price you can count on. Kevin the fox world series pregame show presented by the 2017 lincoln mkx. Trust me. Freeways dont look like that in los angeles right now. Yasiel puig getting ready, trying to get his teammates fired up for a game number 7. What will he do tonight . Carlos correa has been simply magnificent this entire postseason. Maybe hes got a moment in him tonight to lead the astros to a world series title. Our set down down the left alia Dodger Stadium. We are joined by another hall of famer, john smoltz. Calling the games with joe buck. The last time i was around this many hitters, i hit a home run. Next i went to the hitter meeting and they kicked me out. Kevin i have a question. Did any of you touch john smoltz. He had pretty good numbers. David 32 walk. True story. I played against him when he was with the braves. Firstpitch fastball. I hit it. So mad. Going, what am i doing . Kevin before we talk about the game tonight, you pitched one of the affect games in game 7 history. 91. It was as good as it got. Take us through your emotions on the day. How you think some of these guys are feeling. I dont think this is universal. If you dont dream about being in this position as a pitcher, then youre missing out because then youre not going to be as prepared for what this moment is like. As a kid, i dreamt about it. I pitched 100 games. It allows you to be in the moment you want to be in. Thats the biggest challenge for guys who say this is just another game. You can do all the things you want, but when the game happens, it not just another game. People say when you speak and you are uncomfortable, think about the audience being in their underwear. That dont work when you are a baseball player. There is nowhere to hide. Kevin how about tonight . Darvish goes today. We know hes an excellent pitcher but he got shelled. How does he respond . If you are him in that situation, how would you change next time out . I would use it to my advantage. It sounds weird but hes done better the second time facing a team, making the corrections. When you face greatness, you get them out and go, what next . But you dont change. When you are bad, you can make the corrections because you know the other team saw you at your worst. It can work out as a benefit if you allow yourself to not think about what happened resultwise. Alex i agree. Darvish, i like him tonight. He had a lot of time to look at video. My question, when he comes out of the game, if the score is 33 in the fifth inning, are you going with alex wood or Clayton Kershaw . Depending on the lineup. Bottom part, alex wood. Not to slight alex wood but matchups are going to be better for him. Kershaw might be a situation where you seem at the end of the game, meaning jansen might come in in the seventh and might not be able to close. Theres a lot of options. This might be the most unique game 7 weve ever seen. Six or seven starters might actually pitch. Frank i am concerned with darvish. He was fresh and he got hammere hammered. He didnt have success. I am wondering, if he gets hit early, it could be uhoh, here we go again. He has no room for error, neither pitcher does. We are so quick to go to the pen. As a manager, its the hardest game to manage. The starter has to give to the opposing team the fact hes on and they are in trouble and that helps the manager. If you give your manager any reason to take you out, you are coming out. Kevin god forbid a base hit. David talking about the pitching match today and i basically told the guys, yu darvish is a great pitcher. Hes really good. Hes got great stuff. Hes got a good record against houston before the last game. But im pretty sure hes going to step up tonight and bring his agame in front of this crowd. I believe hes going to be ready, especially tonight. If he can spin the baseball come hes going to have a great night. That team over their heads the fastball as good as anybody, especially the high fastball. They try to stay off spin. He spends it like a video game. He did not do that in houston for whatever reason. He didnt have the feel, he didnt have the touch. Its a wipeout breaking ball. He can throw a slow one, a harder one. Kevin mccullers getting the start for the astros and the bullpen. We may see a bunch of starters. Keith, mccullers. Weve talked about his makeup. What do you think about him getting the ball tonight . Keith hes very young. Its his first time in a game 7. He throws 40 breaking balls which i find amazing. These guys here say he doesnt give in. Its a generational thing. Hes got a great face circle great fastball. He did not have a good outing last time. Whats going to happen if he does not early get his breaking ball over . He will be in trouble. I dont mean that he cant pitch without it but he will be amped up. Its interesting to me, i asked. You are telling me you never throw a curve bubble before the game. He doesnt. Its his goto pitch. Its ingrained in his brain. Mechanically, he doesnt even warm up with it. He said the next curveball i throw will be in game 7. I am like wow. I would look for him, because hes an emotional guy, look for the rpm. I call it, is he redlining too early . The guy who can slow it down and still pitch is going to be successful. Alex i agree. He has the mentality of a middle linebacker. He is the strongest guy in the weight room. You know the mentality. He can spin the ball as well as anybody. The question is, which lance do we get . The one who finish the yankees with 24 straight breaking balls or the one establishing the fastball early and going to the breaking ball. I am surprised in this series by one thing. Nobody has made a hit or feel uncomfortable. You dont have to hit somebody to make them feel uncomfortable. You just have to have a plate you own. I think thats the one thing, maybe probably why we got so many home runs. But i think its also part of the game that you have to be able to command and trust that one part of the plate has to be yours. You give the hitter the other part. If you cant get that part, you need to find a way to get it. Kevin keith was jumping up and down in the trailer about this. Keith i knew there was a reason why i like to john smoltz. Kevin weve always have these players all postseason ask questions. We have a manager today. A. J. Hinch has one for alex. I would ask arod, why did you not teach me more spanish when we were roommates in mexic mexico . Alex a. J. Has a psychology degree from stanford. I shouldnt be teaching you anything. Kevin how long were you roommates . Alex the u. S. Olympic team. We went down this usa members to play mexico. Hernandez, lavonne hernandez. Youve been great. Looking forward to it. Kevin john smoltz. Listen to him and joe buck called a game tonight. Game number 7. Mr. Bregman has been something else. Defensively, offensively, you name it. Do they have a couple big hits left in them tonight . We are about to find out. Cody bellinger. Can he go deep to give this dodgers a lead . Its again 7 on fox. break my bones by john taylor while other Insurance Companies just see a truck, state farm sees something youve worked really hard for.

Accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. If that isnt a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president , then what has our government become . Im tom steyer, and like you, im a citizen who knows its up to us to do something. Its why im funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. A Republican Congress once impeached a president for far less. Yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger whos mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. And they do nothing. Join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing whats political and start doing whats right. Our country depends on it. Kevin this city looking for its first world series title in 29 years. Today we hit the streets to find out just how much these fans do indeed love l. A. 29 years since weve made it to the world series. Not since 88. Community, made everyone come back together. Its awesome to see it. Turner, hes awesome. I love his energy. I love how he is so humble. This is their time. This is their time tonight. Absolutely the best weather and the best people. Nothing not to like. Except traffic. Another perfect day i love l. A. This team, these guys, im so excited. Game 7. We win eight. We want to take it home. It is the dodgers year. I love l. A. We love it. I love l. A. L. A. , baby. Love l. A. Just another sunny day. They were right about the weather. What is your record label . Kevin we dont want to know. The commissioner trophy, thats what they are playing for. Thats what we are talking about. David ive got three of those. Kevin you have them with you . David ive got three of them. Im sorry. Dont hate. Kevin astros allstar Center Fielder George Springer has been hot. Four home runs in the series. He is standing by with tom verducci. Tom you play center field for the astros but you are also the keeper of the clubhouse stereo. Game 7, whats it like, the vibe around the team . Excited, relaxed. A little bit of old school toda today. Correa put on bad bunny. It all sounds the same to me but i like it. Tom tell me about the confidence level of the team. I know you have forgotten about game 6. Game 7, confidence on the road for the astros. Its high. I think our team is just like them. We believe in ourselves and this is the final game of the year. This is for everything. We are going to go empty the tank and see what happens. Tom for you, it looked like things recalibrated for you in game 2 offensively. What clicked and what will be your approach facing darvish at least to start tonight . The exact same as its been since game 2. Slow down, get something to hit and hit it hard. Tom thanks. Good luck. Have fun. Thank you. Kevin springer seems relaxed. He is one of the young core four for the astros. Theyve all had an outstanding playoff. Dont worry about altuves average. Hes had huge moments. David he played bad bunny. You dont know anything about that. Thats my boy. Bad bunny. That gets you going. Im going to play it for you later. Kevin play it in the green room. David just watch. Kevin first listen from papi the dj. Frank, whos got the most pressure in this astros lineup . Frank yuli gurriel, facing the dodgers crowd, facing darvish. Facing suspension and the loud booing. He needs a big game. Alex for me, carlos correa. Hes the most talented with the biggest upside. Like we said, with great power comes great responsibility. For me, he has to have a big, big night. First franchise championship. Kevin you are just quoting spiderman. David the Houston Astros, they dont go anywhere if you dont have a guy like altuve doing his thing. They are aware they are because of altuve. If altuve dont go, they dont go. Keith i couldnt agree more. Altuve, in the entire postseaso postseason. Threetime batting champion. Hes very intense. You saw him throughout the postseason. Watching the world series. He left a man on base in the seventh, a critical inning. He made the final out with players on first and third. He was very ticked off. He needs a big game. Ken if i am the l. A. Dodgers, im not going to let altuve beat me. If you have to pick one guy in the lineup, its going to be altuve. Kevin its interesting. We will see who comes through tonight. Altuve has had his big moments, thats for sure. We showed you the astros. Here are the dodgers. They really havent hit this series. They have the one wild game 5 i lost. Last night they only had a few hits. They are not tearing the cover off the ball. Tell me whos got the most pressure in the dodgers lineup. Alex its all about the best player, mvp justin turner. Gold glove defense, best clutch hitter for the last three years. What i love about this player, he has the dna of a journeyman but hes got some magic, some big papi magic. Hes my guy. If he performs, they win. David pederson wasnt in the roster in the nlds. I guarantee you tonight the Houston Astros are going to be attention, playing attention a little bit more. Puig, my man. Come and lick me. Frank i say the kid, cody bellinger. Hes got to have a good game. A couple line drives, and help the offense motivated. Keith for me, its joc pederson. If he has a big game tonight, he might be the mvp of the series, and i dont think hes aware of it. I agree with john smoltz. He looks so comfortable at the plate that he needs to be knocked down in the first atbat. Not hit. Knocked down. The astros need to send a message. We are in your backyard. We are here to play. Lets get it on. Alex in october, small things matter most. In the long season, you think power over contact. In the postseason, its the exact opposite. Contact overpower. Thats why guys like justin turner, chris taylor, and jose altuve play well. David i know you want the dodgers to win. How about if puig shows up. Let me give you one of these. Sku and i you what. That is puigs pregame ritual. How about the weather . Alex mentioned the small ball. It is cooler here at night. We saw a couple long balls last night. Does it affect things in relation to playing small ball . Frank you take what the pitcher gives you. You use the whole field. Alex maybe dave roberts or a. J. , they have to go counter sabermetrics. Something small will win this world series. Kevin we will see how it works out. All the pressure, everything on the line here from Dodger Stadium. Few events in all sports that matched the drama of a World Series Game 7. We will relive some of the greatest game 7 moments of all time. A couple astros stars. Altuve at second, correa and shorts. Bad bunny on the radio. Everybody is firing for the astros. Joc pederson is firing. He has three home runs. Can he do it again tonight . Well see. Allman this is our time no turning back and while its okay to nibble in public, a lady only dines in private. Try the name your price tool from progressive. It gives you options based on your budget. Uhoh. Discussing finances is a big nono. What, im helping her save money shh men are talking. Thats it, im out. Taking the meatballs. Hurry in thats it, im out. Get thousands of styles from just five dollars right now at old navy. What if Home Security was different . What if it looked different . What if the measure of working, was that you never had to think about it. What if it was so easy to use, you actually used it. [alarm] you have 3 minutes to exit. What if it gave you time, and what you really need from Home Security. A sense of security. Kevin great chopped over Dodger Stadium. Game 7 of the world series on fox coming up in a few. What a day in los angeles. Could not be any better. Weatherwise. November 1, brian mccann. Hes done a great job, the veteran, leading the pitching staff. He will be catching the colors tonight. Corey seager had a big sacrifice fly last night for the dodgers. He wonder, will tonight be another chapter in the greatest game sevens of all time . High fly ball, deep left. It is over the fence. Home run. The pirates win. Atlanta hasnt scored in ten innings against jack morris. The twins are going to win the world series. Minor caught center field. The diamondbacks are world champions. About all you can say for Madison Bumgarner Madison Bumgarner, wow. World series win for the San Francisco giants and their hero, Madison Bumgarner. Sometimes youve got to get lucky against a guy like chapma chapman. Its gone tied game the grounds crew is told to bring out the tarp. Base hit. The cubs have finally won at al all. Won it all. Kevin back on the field with the guys. You wonder which dodger could be the hero. Maybe cody bellinger. He is standing by with Ken Rosenthal. Ken cody, game 7 of the world series. First World Series Game 7 everette Dodger Stadium. I was in your clubhouse. The reggae music is pretty loud. Whats the mood . Stick with the same its been the past probably three months. We walk in there. There is music on. Past couple days have been reggae. Maybe calm down the nerves. Its game 7. We are going to go out there and have fun. Ken use targeted in the minor leagues. If i told you youre going to play in game 7, batting cleanup and playing first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first world series title in this town since 1988, what would you have said . I would ask that you are crazy. I am here right now and its still kind of surreal. Here i am an im going to do what i can to help the team win. Im going to go out there and have fun and try to treat it like ive been the last couple months. Ken mccullers is starting but you might see an array of features. How do you prepare . It is all or nothing. You can prepare for him and the rest is a crapshoot. Everyone is going to be 100 to go. Like i said, its going to be an awesome game, like the awesome series its been. Ken thanks a lot. Good luck. Kevin i like the way he put that. A crapshoot. Its probably right. You never know how many pitchers are going to be in the game. We touched on an earlier with Ken Rosenthal, also with john smoltz. To me, the most pressing part about tonights Clayton Kershaw, who is not starting but is available. You know hes going to get in this game. If i am dave roberts, its no easy proposition of when to put them in the game or how to handle it. Alex no question dave roberts is going to be under the gun. Hes going to have a lot of very interesting decisions because he has a lot of chess pieces to play with. Clayton kershaw, not only is he the biggest tour of the series but maybe when he woke up this morning, he had a little prayer saying i am hoping to get in the game because i want to redeem myself. I think he will do very well. The lack of timing to plan and think will work in his favor. Frank it is a luxury for dave roberts to have ken in the wings. Youve got to use his weapons. David i dont think its going to be needed. If you have yu darvish giving you five or six innings, i go straight to the bullpen. You know the history behind, a starter coming out of the bullpen. Especially in this situation. You had morrow last night, 99 miles an hour. His breaking ball was legit. He dominated last night. He showed me last night hes prepared. We will see how it plays out. We see how far you garbage can go and then you go to kershaw. Keith if darvish goes four, what do you do . David it depends. Weve got to be careful with the moves with kershaw. Weve got to be careful. Keith i am in papis camp. Lineup is topheavy righthande righthanded. The bottom is three lefthanded hitters and gonzalez is a switchhitter and is better left hand. Not a good righthanded hitter. Hasnt performed. Thats the spot. It depends where the ball game is, whether we are early in the game. If darvish gets knocked out early, i have to believe its going to be wood to get the bottom half of the order and kershaw will be held late. Im not so sure i would roll the dice. Alex i disagree with both of you. I like the lack of planning and thinking. He gets to be the good old texas boy who went to Highland Park high school in texas and just throw the rock. He is a routine guy. I would tell them you have the fifth and sixth and then go to your guy, morrow and then go to the bullpen. Frank if you dont use Clayton Kershaw and you use those other guys, the finger will be pointed at you. If you dont get them in there, there will be secondguessing. David if you have youre going to be questioned about the move you make. If you bring kershaw and in a situation and then he gives that outcome, the question is going to be. He wasnt prepared. Why didnt you use the weapon you had in the bullpen which is the best bullpen during the regular season . Weve got to wait to see whats going to happen. Kevin is there not pressure . If the game goes great and the dodgers score 4 and kershaw pitches the eighth, great. Its all roses. What if it doesnt go that way . Pedro martinez, the great Pedro Martinez had trouble. Max scherzer in the first round, same thing. It doesnt always go peachy keen. I think there is some pressure on dave roberts to make it at the right time. Keith alex from personal experience, less time works in kershaws favor. Give them an opportunity to come out and throw bullets. Tonight is a perfect situation. You and you heard Ken Rosenthal saying he might close it out. Fascinating stuff with kershaw tonight. Meanwhile, the astros. Theres a lot of stories with the pitching. The Biggest Issue has been their bullpen. There it is. Houstons bullpen, its not been good. An era of 7. 2. Its not going to get it done. Papi, if you are the astros, how are you using the bullpen tonight . David to be honest with you. I am pretty sure mccullers is going to do a great job. This guy was ready since last night. Ive never seen anything like that before. I was commentating last night. Looking behind me and this guy is already playing catch. I wouldnt be surprised if this guy comes through for the Houston Astros. Meanwhile, if something goes bad, im pretty sure theyre going to have to go between keuchel and liriano if you are in a lefthanded situation. Liriano showed me last night he had good stuff. We will see how they are going to play it out. Keith you have two analytic managers who go by the book. We can speculate all we want. The big question is how long are they going to go with their pitchers . By the book, take them out in the fifth. Then what . The dodgers bullpen is compromised. Used a lot of guys last night. Jansen. He pitched, did some hard work last night. As far as the astros are concerned . They have peacock. They have to feel really good about that. He discovered himself. He got the 3inning save where he pitched brilliantly. They are going to lean on him in the middle innings. Alex if you are a. J. Hinch, i like the lefty in the middle of the two righties. Charlie morton. If im looking for a double play ball, theres no better guy in the league than dallas keuchel. Frank everything is playing tonight. All hands on deck. Dont speculate. Buckle your seat belt and be ready to go. Something crazy is going to happen. Kevin speculate a little. [laughter] its fun to talk, and well talk about it more. Thats whats great about baseball. Astros looking for postseason redemption. Dodgers trying to end a 29 year drought. Tom verducci looks at both franchises when we come back. He was throwing in the outfield. David sleeping in the bullpen last night. Kevin can darvish get it tonight . Can he lead l. A. To a world series title ar. Its the thing from the link you sent us. And the year before. I found the perfect gift for you. But it wouldnt ship in time. So i just. Texted you a photo. I bought it with one click. I included a gift receipt. Its the thought that counts . Dont shop like everybody else. Where you see at the end of the for a golden brownuld test 100 crunchy pan crust. Ight one but colyn did. Now you can try any papa johns pan pizza, baked to perfection, for just 10. Battling to the end. Astros win in ten. Any series filled with unforgettable moments, we finally arrive here. Game 7. Everything theyve worked for their entire life has come down to this moment. How will the story and mack . Only will tell kevin the task of starting for the astros goes to that man. Lance mccullers. 24 years old. His father pitched in the big leagues. Now its on his shoulders, trying to retire the dodgers. Joc pederson, three home runs in this world series. Can he do it again . We shall see. It is allowed here at Dodger Stadium as you would expect. We welcome in tom verducci. What a series its been. What is it about game 7 the gives the world series the Lasting Impact . Tom game 7 of the world series is the greatest night in sports, and heres why. No sport fulfills so many games into one. Tonight its game number 2,468. They will hand out a trophy. For better or worse, what happens tonight will last forever. They are the two most beautiful words in the language of baseball. And the most terrifying. Game 7. Beautiful because game 7 is a rare songbird. This is just the 38th winnertakeall game 7. Terrifying because game 7 is as fickle as the autumn wind. The bounce of a ball, the slip of a pitch, the swing of a bat. Established in 1962, the astros have never won the world series. Only the phillies waited longer in this same city to win their first title. The dodgers havent won since 1988, the longest route in los angeles. The impossible dream revisited. They have given us six thrilling games, 60 pitchers, 24 home runs, 13 ties, ten blown leads. 57 innings. Its not enough. This series too good to end and six. We need the hollywood ending. We need game 7. How it writes history and binary code. For every ben zobrist, there must be a bryan shaw. Madison bumgarner, salvador perez. Mariano rivera. Edgar renteria, tony fernandes. Jack morris, lonnie smith. Tonight history chooses sides. Tonight there is only winning or losing. The trophy or nothing. Legend or infamy. Beauty or terror. We expect so much out of gamy disappoints. Five of the last seven games heavens have ended with a walk off or tying run on base. Incredible. More excitement tonight. This is the first World Series Game 7 with 2 100win teams and 86 years. Its set up to be epic. I did not cover the 1931 world series. Kevin hollywood ending tonight. Lets see some fun. You go back. We welcome you back to our set, getting close to the first pitch. With frank thomas, keith hernandez, david ortiz. Alex rodriguez im kevin burkhardt. We take you back to 2014, the cover of sports illustrated. Maybe you have it. Maybe you remember it. It had the astros saying this is your 2017 world champion. They went through some lean years. They have never, since they were a franchise, 55 years, ever won a world series. What would it mean, papi, if they were able to do it . David houston is playing for a higher calling. Houston is playing for a town devastated by hurricane. Amazing opportunity to unite people. I am pretty sure winning the championship for houston would be massive. Its going to be something incredible, magical. It unites people, brings people together. A lot of good things for the town who needs it like houston. Frank it would be everything. Theyve never won in houston. Everyone devastated by Hurricane Harvey. Keith you play for the ring. Here it is right there for you. Youve got a chance to be part of baseball history. A game thats over 100 years old. Think of all the great players current and past who never got to the world series. Ernie banks, bryce harper. To name a few. These guys are here and they have a chance to win. Kevin for the dodgers, its one of the historic franchises in baseball history and they havent won in a long time. 29 years. What would it mean for the dodgers, for the city . Alex it would be amazing and monumental. Its amazing to see mark walter, the guggenheim group, magic johnsons ownership. What theyve done in five years is awesome and fascinating. But like the yankees, they are judged with world championships. Theyve had a fascinating season but they cant drink champagne and have a parade if the season is a failure. David this is one of the greatest franchises of all time. Everybody knows what the dodgers are all about. The group who owns the dodgers came with one plan. Leave here tonight and win a worl
