Bringin' the heat, Part Deux

In which the Blob revises what it said yesterday, because it was actually 103 degrees at first pitch for Game 1 of the World Series, which the Dodgers won 3-1 thanks to a first-pitch home run by Chris Taylor and another home run by Hermit Period Jack Crabb, aka Justin Turner.

(And if you don't get the Hermit Period Jack Crabb reference, it's because you've never seen "Little Big Man." Which means you are culturally deprived and deeply wanting in context. I suggest you watch it immediately to remedy that.)

Anyway, Dodgers win as Clayton Kershaw brought the heat (see what I did there?) and silenced all those potent Astros bats. And the Blob spent an inordinate amount of time wondering if Hermit Period Jack Crabb was rethinking that look, considering. And then thought ahead to tonight, when the Blob predicts Justin Verlander will put a padlock on the Dodgers batrack, and we'll be 1-1 going to Houston.

Where it will likely not be 103 degrees at gametime. As it shouldn't be anywhere in this part of the world in the last week of October.

Although the climate-change Flat Earthers continue to insist all this is perfectly normal, no doubt.
