The World Series Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros
richkrt99:
So....
I am so stoked and excited for tonight's game, and certainly confident we can win this....
alta:
Game 3 starting lineups:
Astros: With no designated-hitter spot available for the three games in D.C., Hinch is debating whether to start DH Yordan Alvarez in the outfield. If he sits Alvarez, Hinch will go with his regular outfield and look to use Alvarez in a key pinch-hitting spot.
1) George Springer, CF
2) José Altuve, 2B
3) Michael Brantley, LF
4) Alex Bregman, 3B
5) Yuli Gurriel, 1B
6) Carlos Correa, SS
7) Josh Reddick, RF
8- Robinson Chirinos, C
9) Zack Greinke, P
Nationals: This Nats' offense erupted for 12 runs on 14 hits and three homers to carry themselves to victory in Game 2. Aside from losing the designated hitter, don’t expect anything to change after a performance like that.
1) Trea Turner, SS
2) Adam Eaton, RF
3) Anthony Rendon, 3B
4) Juan Soto, LF
5) Asdrúbal Cabrera, 2B
6) Ryan Zimmerman, 1B
7) Kurt Suzuki, C
8- Victor Robles, CF
9) Aníbal Sánchez, P
starting pitchers:
Astros: After losing games started by aces Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander, the Astros will give the ball to veteran right-hander Greinke (0-2, 6.43 ERA in the postseason). Greinke pitched well in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series, against the Yankees, and gave up one run in 4 1/3 innings in Game 4. He faced the Nationals earlier this season, throwing 7 1/3 scoreless innings and allowing two hits at Nationals Park on June 13, when he was with the D-backs.
Nationals: The Nationals are hopeful that the long layoff will not effect Sánchez (1-0, 0.71 ERA in the postseason), because he has been lights out this month. In two starts (12 2/3 innings), he’s given up just one run on five hits, with 14 strikeouts and three walks, but this will be his first start since Game 1 of the National League Championship Series, on Oct.11.

So is anyone here actually GOING to the Nats game? It is sort of kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity. (well, we hope not, but.....)
How much are tickets going for?
I see you can still supposedly get tickets for tonight's game
Upper level 401 about $1250 a seat (ouch)
Seats behind Nats Dugout around $1700 (again ouch)
I have a friend who broke down and spent the bucks and went to both games in the NLCS here. I'd say he got his money's worth.
ArJunaZ:
I read a story about the ticket system being hacked and tickets stolen, which were quickly disabled and were not sold. It said the prices started at $1,000 for "standing room only" seats and went up to $3,000 for seat behind the dugout.

I've been listening to the news, apparently it's been a tad crowded down there since noon, they said both garages at the park were full by 2pm. That wouldn't be bad if metro was worth a shit, but..
